Four significant things happened today and both are about clothing. (1) First off, I believe I have officially gone down a size. Like every other woman I know I have two sizes of clothing in my closet. And the super fat size is really too big. Example: By midday my pants were so baggy they can be pulled down over my hips without unbuttoning or unzipping them, uh, they need to go. A few of my pants are getting so big that they are officially unattractively baggy in the crotch area. Which BTW is a mystery to me that all my weight loss is coming from my crotch. WTH? Anyway, yeah for me! My 'smaller' sized fat clothes are fitting comfortably, awesome.
(2) Next, I desperately need another bathing suit. I have always preferred a two piece. But let's get something straight. When I say a two piece, I am NOT talking about a 'Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini'. I'm talking about a tankini of sorts where the top overlaps the bottoms and your entire middle is covered. It's just easier for going to the bathroom and I find them more comfortable.No such luck today. I didn't get depressed about seeing my entire body in a mirror, because I know that right not I am not even close to being 'fully cooked', know what I mean? But seriously, I need a bathing suit and nothing was right or fit SO bizarre. Sister1 thanks for the tips on where to shop. Will go tomorrow. Should be fun, will have the kids with me. Bad even today my son was shouting and pointing at the bras in Target, "Boobie clothes!"
(3) That brings me to a funny discussion I had with my mother-in-law today. Somehow we were talking about bras and being overweight and how most of our boob is just fat. You put on a bra and then have to scoop all that 'side boob' into the cup of the bra. Yup, I said it. SIDE BOOB. All that wide spread boob that somehow, some way slipped under your arm pit over time. We both refused to be one of those woman with droopy hanging boobs without proper bra support. Support that keeps them up and holds all the side boob in. Just another thought that goes through my head to stay focused on my diet, yup, SIDE BOOB. I'd like that to go away as well.
(4) And finally, one day soon, hopefully by the end of the summer, when I shop for clothes I will shop in the 'regular people' clothes section. No plus sizes, no women's sizes, no men's 9EE shoe, no clothing stores made for larger ladies because that's not who I want to be anymore. I'm not going to turn into a fat person hater, because this is not about other people, just me. It took a long time for the 'click' moment to happen in my brain and I truly hope others that want to loose weight will have a 'click' moment also and join me in the regular people clothes section where it seems you can wear anything in the store and not be confined to one small plus size section. Because that entire section just looks like it's all moo moo's and ugly prints.
Well, those are my clothing rants for the day. Let's see what tomorrow stirs up on my hunt for a bathing suit.
