Snowwhite100's Journal, 10 Jul 22

Losing is going so slow I hit a couple of yard sales in my neighborhood and went ahead and bought pants that fit my bloated body. At the first one since I know the gal and it was the end of the sale for her she said to just go ahead and take the things I picked for free. Since her disabled grandson was doing the sale I went ahead and gave him $. The second one was at the end of the sale also, and all the items were .50 so I went hog wild, even taking some things 1 size too small with hope in my heart. Everything I picked (including 2 wool hats) was only $10.00. I guess I was really in a groove because I went to the Goodwill yesterday and bought 3 tops and more pants, some of which are a size too small but I don't have much anymore of that size either. I had taken everything "in" and cut off the excess in most of them previously. In the future when I lose I will not cut off the excess when I take them in. It is taking me so long to lose this time I decided to just go ahead and get what I see at garage sales when handy.
I'm sure spending a lot of time taking out seams I have sewed in to make pants smaller, and even then they aren't big enough now. I had made all my 8's into 4's, and I can't even wear an 8. I hope I can find them in the attic when I get back to that size someday. They are all mixed up with smaller sizes. By fall, maybe I'll go through them again. I'm only losing a pound a month so it will be months before I can wear a smaller size, and perhaps never be able to fit into the bulk of my wardrobe again. Since I'm pear-shaped I've given up on most dresses. At 60 I still had a slim waist, but over the last 5 years, my shape has changed completely. On many skirts, I just took out the waistband after 70. Now even "A" lines hang terribly because of my stomach. Getting old is embarrassing.
