Ok does anyone else find clothes shopping utterly depression and triggering??
Its also a bit confusing, because some clothes make you realise how skinny you really look. But then some clothes (especially around your problem areas, such as thighs for pear shapes women), it can make you think you are totally obese.
For me, i was looking for a new pair of jeans because mine were falling off me they were so big. But when i put on a pair a couple of sizes smaller, they didn't fit...they were so tight...my thighs were bulging out....i felt so disgusting and angry that i wanted to smash the mirror!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I looked even bigger than 45 pounds ago. I thought I looked pregnant. I was ready to cry when I left the mall. I even brought in tons of items to try so that I wouldn't get upset if one or two things didn't look good. I talked to my therapist about it and she was trying to get me to reframe. I do not own any full length mirrors for this reason.. I am definitely having a fat day..and have not worked out for three days so I am really unhappy.
I hate clothes shopping. I don't wear jeans alot. I live in sweat pants and loose, but stylish, tops. Sometimes, if I'm feeling brave I'll wear leggings. I find that my calves are small and okay so I'l wear a longer skirt/top and leggings. But, anything else tight-fitting, like jeans and tight shirts...nope. Not for me.
