clothes. argh.

I've been reading today a little about the dilemma's of clothing. I remember when my dilemma used to be that I couldn't fit into any clothes and I refused to go shopping for more. I remember when I finally did go shopping, being discourage after trying on one pair because they didn't fit and I refused to try on anything bigger than a 20.

So in remembering that I am reminded about how I should so not be frustrated with my current situation.. and I'm not. I'm just observing. When I started my job last year, I bought enough 'casual business' clothes to hold me over. Most were a little tight when I got them. At the time, I bought a size 14 pair of pants that were too tight but I could still wear them. I'm wearing those pants today. They're kind of loose but the only work pants that actually fit me now. I'm thinking I'm comfortably a size 12 right now (I have a couple size 12 jeans.. haven't tried on pants in awhile). All of my other pants (mind you, I only have about 3-4 other work pants) are way too large. I cannot wear the pants I'm wearing today 4 days a week (casual Fridays, holla!). I don't mind shopping like I used to.. I even enjoy it a little now. But I can't afford a new change of wardrobe every season. grrrr. But I need new pants, lol.

It's strange to me.. when I first started it took me losing about 50 pounds to change a size in pants. Now I think every 5-10 pounds is a new size. I guess I should be glad for it! :D Pretty sure I can't go much longer without a couple new pants though lol.
