But I want that blouse SO bad...

I was out shopping today and really, really wanted to buy a few of these Earth Yoga long sleeve tees. They were cute and comfy looking.

I got excited, one style I really wanted was there in XXL. So hard to find. I grabbed it like I was at the Hunger Games. I placed it in front of me. It would definitely fit. Then I thought, why am I buying XXL tops? This won't fit me right by New Years and do I really want to wear very large clothes as I am losing weight? No. So, I put it down and grabbed an XL, but I don't want to wear that size for very long either and put that one down too. I loved the shirts so much I had to buy ONE! So I came up with a solution-I decided to buy one for my daughter, who wears a women's size medium. She loved it and I hope to be borrowing it from her next fall! 

Right now, I will not buy shoes, undergarments of clothing of any kind. My family says I should, but I don't see the point, as in a few months I will need to go shopping for transitional clothes. I look at the "in between" sizes as temporary wardrobes and hope to build a new wardrobe in a size medium in a year or less. It will be so exciting buying new clothes in a much smaller size. I remember how fun it used to be to shop the two times I got to goal on Weight Watchers. One time I went below goal and was wearing size 5 and 6 jeans and medium tops-it was awesome! 

I feel like even the nicest quality, most expensive clothes do not look good on you when you are overweight. You could be thin and wear a ratty T-shirt and jeans and look fine. It's just my opinion.

So I hope to be wearing THIS TOP in the photo one year from now..when I am a happy medium!
