I'm 50 lbs down, 50 more to go. I went through my closet and dresser today because there was so much space taken up by clothes I never wore that I didn't actually use my closet or my dresser. Woops.
Anyway, I threw out the things no one should ever wear again and made another pile of clothes that were good but didn't fit me and what I was left with was....hardly anything. I thought I'd feel so proud and motivated when I was done but instead I just felt really frustrated and disgusted. I realized I didn't even like 90% of my clothes. Now, I've never particularly cared about fashion or been a particular fashionable person. I'm still not. But my sense of style has changed a lot recently. Maybe its because I'm getting older and want to dress more my age. Maybe its because I'm becoming more comfortable with parts of myself. Either way, once I was done cleaning I realized I was left with hardly any nice clothes and I didn't even like most of them.
'Oh boy you get to go shopping!' you might think. No. Well, I could but I don't want to spend money on clothes I will quickly shrink(?) out of. I still have 50 more pounds I want to lose and I suspect from now on my clothing size is going to change a lot more- Paper towel effect if you will? Even though I lost 50 lbs I've only gone down 1 pants size (isn't women's sizing the best!) so far (and no I wasn't wearing super tight pants by any means). I had to lose close to 30 lbs to finally fit in the smaller size pants well BUT 20 lbs later and they are already a bit too baggy. I'm going to need to get the next smaller size pant soon.
I feel like I am in this very awkward place where I hate all of my clothes and none of them fit me right but I am not nearly thin enough to dress how I really want to and I still think I look plus sized so I don't want to go out and buy all these new clothes I might never be able to wear again in a few months (if all goes well). Right now my closet is mostly button downs and flannels because honestly, you can wear an oversized flannel and people won't think "ewww that shirt looks like a bag on her" they will just think "oh she's wearing an oversized flannel" like its nbd. But its going to be SUMMER.
