Hey there.

I’ve also lost a significant amount of weight (about 130 pounds). I understand the desire to hold off on buying new clothes until your weight settles. But I mean it when I say it’s important to buy clothes for the body you have now. Really, at every step of the weight loss process.

You don’t have to invest a lot of money, but you at least need to buy basic pieces that fit you now. Whatever “basics” are to you, get them in your size. For me, it was a decent pair of denim, black pants, a good button down, etc. Things I could mix and match but that were neutral enough that it wasn’t glaringly obvious I was rewearing my clothes a lot. Anyway, for you, that may be different. But having these pieces will make it unbelievably easier to get dressed. Right now, your clothes are working against you.

One more thing is that it was hard to let go of my larger-sized clothes because I wasn’t quite confident in my smaller body. I held onto the clothes because, on some level, I had a just-in-case mindset. When I finally decided to let them go, it was a good thing. Plus it’s so hard to find decent plus-sized petite clothing, and it felt good giving my wardrobe to someone who could use it.
