Default Now have two pairs of pants that fit...

...talk about an issue only a fat person would understand, huh?

However, I've slimmed enough to fit into a pair I bought at Goodwill a few months ago. I also discovered they were too short for me so I had to let down the cuffs, but it's nice to be finally have some variety in wardrobe.

Great news! Yes, I've been there myself.

I did find a great plus size consignment shop here in Columbus, and goodwill is awesome too, especially when you are loosing weight and don't want to put a lot of money into clothes quite yet.

Yeah, it's not that I can't find clothes that fit. I just hate spending money on plus size clothes...not the most healthy mindset, I know.
I finally caved and bought decent bras last month, but I haven't bought any clothes for myself that didn't come from Goodwill or Wal Mart in a year.
Even this pair of jeans isn't exactly good looking, they're ratty and were too short for me at first, but at least it's something.

I'm going to need some nice clothes for a work trip this summer, so I'm going to have get over that soon.
That's also yet another thing that's motivating me to lose weight. The more things I already have that fit, the less I have to pay through the nose at Lane Bryant for good clothes.

If you have a Cato nearby, check them out!

I bought bras at Lane Bryant's bra sale and they were so uncomfortable, stabbing me in my sides. I wear a 42DD. Also bought a pair of Jeans to the tune of $70.

Something didn't sit right with me with how much I paid for everything, plus the bras were torture devices. I hit up Cato and got 2 cute pairs of jeans for $30 and bras for less than $20 each, and the bras had matching panties for like $6, what a deal!!! The bras are comfy and super sexy and the jeans are very nice. They have cute jeans with bling and some that are more plain.

With the money I saved I was able to get a snazzy purse in teal (my signature color) and a great top and camisole!

Highly recommend Cato, they have plus size and misses too!

Huh, for some reason I had the idea that Cato's clothes were pretty grandma-ish, but I took a look at their website and they actually look good.
I don't know if there's one near me but I might check it out. Thanks for the tip!

I wear the same size bra, but the bras I bought at Lane Bryant fit just fine. About the only complaint I have about them is that they have 5 hooks which I feel is kind of excessive.
