I've been the same weight for 2 weeks now after 3 weeks of lots of losses. I'm not too upset about it - I figure I'm just catching up to myself, and had some "women stuff" interfering with things. Other than a little indiscretion last week (pizza 
) I've been staying on the path.
As I have literally no clothes, I went shopping yesterday even though I'm not at my goal weight yet. I can't go around in old jeans that fall down and my husband's cast off t-shirts! I've been looking like some sort of bag tied in the middle, so off to the shops I went.
In January, I bought some tops that were size 20 and 22, although I was mostly in 18's (and 20 on the bottom). I tried some clothes on yesterday at Debenhams, and nothing seemed to look right - too long, didn't hang right, I just looked lumpy. Then my sister in law brought me some more pieces and they looked fantastic! No bumps, no lumps, fabric sat where it was supposed to. Then she told me to look at the sizes.
14.
One. Four.
I damned near fainted in the changing room. I'd beeen trying on 16's, but they were too big! I absolutely couldn't believe it. And it wasn't just one thing - it was about 8 different tops, and 2 pairs of trousers! A few things (like a cardigan) needed a size up, but that's fine!
I'm so happy I can't stand it! I've stayed on top of my food problems for a while now and feel in control, and even though the scale isn't moving, something is changing (I'm never organised enough to take measurements, so I have to go by the tags on the clothes).
So now I have some lovely new clothes (although I still can't find trousers that fit me in this country!) and can't wait to get dressed up!
