I havent bought any clothes for ages just because finances dictate that I can’t. I decided to go window shopping today but when I saw the sales I could not help myself. New Look had a huge markdown. I got a jean skirt, black going out skirt, a pink gypsy skirt, a tshirt and a cardi top all for £26 ($50)!!! I may have spent money I don’t really have but I think clothes shopping has done me the world of good.
It’s about taking pride in my appearance and caring what I look like. I think I have forgotten to care. I am struggling to stay in a size 16 at the moment (my size 18 trousers are getting scarily comfy!) but I refused to go up a size with my new clothes, so I bought it all in a size 16. This means I have to work a bit harder to look good in my clothes.
You know, I see clothes in a size 8 and 10 (US 6 and 8) and they look so tiny but they’re not. I think what I wouldn’t give to fit in those, but then if I would give anything I would just get on and lose, wouldn’t I? If only it were that easy.
Tigerlily has been such a source of inspiration to me. She is a fitness fanatic (like I was a few months ago!) and she recently posted a picture of her arms looking fab. A while ago we were a few pounds apart but now she is 20 or so pounds less than me. This is what happens when one keeps on plodding on and the other gives up! TL you really do inspire me, even when I am severely depressed so thank you!!
Oh I have also ordered a pair of jeans and some leggings from Republic. I LOVE that shop!
