Default first shopping trip after weight loss...

I went to a clothing department store today and spent two hours!!!!!!! trying
to find a decent top to wear. I could not figure out what size l am. Since l've
lost this weight it's become much more difficult by just looking l have to try
everything on. The sizes range from medium to xlarge depending on the cut.
Has anyone experienced this or am I the only one. Don't get me wrong l'm so
happy that I lost all this weight and l hope to lose more but shopping takes
much longer.

congrats on your loss! I have to try everything on because I have no idea what size I might be. I'm getting a general idea, but it was very cool trying on coats today and fitting into a L. I was very surprised!

Keep it down!

Hi,
I am having the same problem as well. Some tops are XXL and others just a L. In pants I wear from a 12-16. The pants are the most frustrating....psycholigically I just don't want to wear a 16! However, it seems that the low-waist and ultra-low-waist styles running smaller - most likely because they hit more towards the hips where I am larger.

I am thankful that I wear a smaller size!
Catherine
