I kept on wearing my big stuff, and felt really motivated by how much better it looked! I also had been guilty of buying stuff to 'slim into' and hoarding lovely things I'd long grown out of, & fitting into those things has given me a real kick. Great to have all those new looks for free, too!
I have given lots away, to both friends and charity shops, though, as I know I won't & can't go back to that size. Another thing I've done is chop the waistband (and then some) off a couple of long 'hideaway' skirts I used to mope about in, turning them into knee-length ones with a gathered waist... after all now I have a waist & legs again, who wants to hide in long cover-up stuff? They look great. I have only bought one dress since I started Cd in November, and though it is a 16 it is so pretty & cleverly cut I know I can go on wearing it even when I finally get to goal...
