"Shopping" In my Closet!!!!

Postby summerblue » April 25th, 2006, 6:26 am

GOOD MORNING Everyone!

So, I decided to go 'shopping' in my closet, you know, pull out the old clothes from "I can't fit into that anymore" LAND.

I pulled out these AMAZING camel colored slacks, you know the kind - they look really SMART and SASSY! nice cuffs at the bottom, pockets, very slimming looking.

I put them on and UH, not only did they FIT, but they are dare I say, at little BIG!!!!!!!

I'm wearing them today with a pair of black boots and a black sweater and I feel like a MILLION BUCKS! I can't believe I FIT INTO THEM!

The last time I tried to put them on, about 3 months ago I couldn't button them and the pockets spread apart and I looked HIDEIOUS!

Oh - and that whole "You'll have more energy with this diet thing" I always thought YAH RIGHT!
Well, I road my bike for 5.0 miles last night and didn't DIE! I'm here to tell about it!

Thanks for all of our enouragement and posts that have kept me going for 3 weeks and not even wanting to QUIT!

Love ya guys! Here's to YOU have a FABULOUS Day!

That is awesome Mara!!! I did the same thing a week ago - got the bag with all the - I hope I get into these things again clothes - and I couldn't believe how they looked.

Gotta love shopping in your closet - nice on the budget.

Oh, and you'd better get use out of those pants before they start falling off - HA!

I did that the other day. I dug out a bunch of shirts that I loved. I am not quite small enough to fit into most of them yet, but I'm close. These were things that I wore 8-9 years ago.

I have a pair of 'jeans' that are 3 sizes smaller than what I am wearing now.....I have them hanging right where I can see them EVERYDAY and my goal is to try them on on my Birthday which is JULY 10TH to see if I can fit them in, or how close I am to fitting them in.

They aren't 'stretchy' jeans, they are very UNFORGIVING and they are capri style - super cute!

SO WE'LL SEE!

Thanks for the encouraging words!

Nice....I love digging in my closet after a significant weight loss. I have a couple of suits (I wear one every day) that I am getting close to being able to get back into. The down side is that I just bought a couple of suits 5 weeks ago (cause I out grew my others) and now they are getting a little baggy. The only upside is that I bought them at the Men's wearhouse and they give you free alterations for the life of the suit. 2 more weeks at my rate and they will be seeing the suits again for some alterations.

Isn't that awesome? All of a sudden you see something in your closet that you used to LOVE...lately you haven't even SEEN it because you knew you couldn't fit into it...suddenly, there it is! I LOVE shopping in my closet!

I only have one size left in my closet, then I'll have to go shopping at the store!

Way to go!
