It scares the SHIZZLE out of me...yet I continue to complain none of my clothes fit. Thanks for sharing...I feel like we both can let our rational minds win and just get CLOTHES for our bodies...without the craziness.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394509972095129618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-50118942263536103362011-02-21T22:46:32.669-05:002011-02-21T22:46:32.669-05:00Ok, so this is going to sound odd but, I had troub...Ok, so this is going to sound odd but, I had trouble admitting that I am a size 10 or 31 instead of a 12/32. I mean sometimes I am a 12 but usually I am a 10. However, I can't admit it to myself because there is a tiny roll over them. I am so insecure I would rather wear some that are to big than just right. Yet the 10's look better on me than 12. That being said,the 12s are starting to fit better :(. What I would give just to be an 8 again!....<br /><br />That being said, you look amazing Yasi! You are so beautiful and the "curves" (which there aren't really any) look amazing on you! You are truly beautiful!Sara T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08073872465869334028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-33778742534612903352011-02-21T10:00:17.774-05:002011-02-21T10:00:17.774-05:00I have experiences like this a lot! Shopping is so...I have experiences like this a lot! Shopping is so frustrating when you're just trying to accept your new body. I've always been really reluctant to spend money on myself, so I made a promise in recovery - that I would let myself buy clothes to fit my changing body, that way I could feel confident! Having some clothes that I feel good in is helpful. <br /><br />I'm so proud of you for buying what felt right, regardless of the size. I had a similar experience buying two pairs of jeans at the same store, in two different sizes! How crazy is that?<br /><br />You are beautiful, Yasi!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465017243367902399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-76342850936486353632011-02-21T02:32:56.049-05:002011-02-21T02:32:56.049-05:00Doll, I never know what size I am -- it's just...Doll, I never know what size I am -- it's just so different for every brand.

Last weekend was the first time in at least a couple years that I was able to go into a dressing room and not cry and then actually buy new clothes. <br /><br />It was amazing, but at the same time I was angry at how much stock I put in the number on my pants or the size of my shirt, even though those numbers are slowing getting smaller. It was elating and defeating at the same time. It made me realize that just because the weight is coming off doesn't mean that Im done being a slave to the numbers. Thinner does not always equal Happier, and vice versa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-39118724933111841432011-02-20T21:02:35.106-05:002011-02-20T21:02:35.106-05:00You're adorable :)

Then I went into a store and ended up fitting into a 9 that my friend had tried on and I did, too, just for fun. Imagine my surprise when they fit! I wanted to cry.<br /><br />I have yet to experience shopping with weight gain after ED, but I'm not looking forward to that experience.<br />HOWEVER, I am going to remember that you, Lily, and others have gone through the exact same thing. And look at you! You, Yasi, are NOT fat. At all. So it's great to know I'm not in this alone.<br />Thanks :)<br /><3 Haley<br /><br />P.s. I love the jeans/outfit!Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728102924183771887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-4113067560942630262011-02-20T21:01:42.485-05:002011-02-20T21:01:42.485-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728102924183771887noreply@blogger.com
