Please please please I think I need to hear someone who started all this at least a size 28 ish to tell me to pull my head inside.
I have had an extremely depressing trying on session - I have grown too small for most of my clothes - I ordered some more online in smaller sizes but they were too big. I thought I'd order some shapewear as although I can get into much smaller sizes there are bulges all over the place. 5 different types and none made a difference. I just feel really tearful.
I have a few items in my wardrobe I could move down into but they were the first 'fat' clothes I bought when I first put weight on and they remind me of unhappy depressed times. When I used to wear them I would look in the mirror and scrutinise myself and try and find ways to look slimmer and end up hating my fatness. As I got bigger I would just buy the biggest black cover all tunics and tshirts with jeans and never looked in the mirror.
I have lost 3 and a half stone and have another 7/7.5 to go and until I had to look for smaller clothes and look in the mirror I was over the moon with that.
I don't know what to do. I have barely any clothes to wear but buying more is like a mental block now. I think my brain has decided that it doesn't want to wear 'fat style' clothes anymore but they are still the only ones that will fit without clinging to the lumps and bumps.
I am sorry this posting is so rambly and self focussed, I just want to hibernate till I am thin.
Any words of advice or comfort gratefully received and taken on board whatever the clothes size of the giver lol.
thank you
