How many sizes of clothing do you have in your closet?
When I started Atkins, I was looking through the closet. My first thoughts were something along the lines of, wow! If I can actually get the weight off, I'll need smaller clothing. Next thought, this equals spending a lot of money cause I have a lot of sizes to go through before I get to goal.
I started out in 20's, which are the bulk of my clothing. Thank goodness many of the sweaters and tops I own will be useable even when I'm thin. (I love big sweaters over jeans in the wintertime, whether I am thin or fat.
Anyway, I found a whole herd of 18's in there! Some still have tags on them. A tribute to how quickly I gained some of this weight! And now I can wear some of them. Yay!
I dug into the dark recesses. LO AND BEHOLD! I found a box with about 9 pairs of 16 jeans in there! Some look almost brand new! Those jeans hadn't seen daylight since 1996. I can't wait to wear them again!
All this reminded me of how quickly I put on 60 pounds when the weight came on. I didn't even have a chance to wear out any of my clothing. It came in big sheets, like in 16 pound increments, all at once over about a year period.
I don't have anymore 14's...that I've found yet, anyway.
So how many sizes of clothing do you have?
