Shopping frustration
I gained weight due to not being as active as I used to but mostly due to my health. I loved my body even though I was larger then I had ever been and bought clothes I love.
Now with my IBS & Gerds under control, combined with my new job, I lost 40 lbs unintentionally. I'm down 2 pant and top sizes. BUT I've had the hardest time shopping. Especially for jeans. I've never been so miserable trying to find dresses, pants, or shirts. 90% of the time I'm frustrated. I used to love trying on clothes.
Don't get me wrong I love my weight, how I feel, and I look good! But does anyone else have a tough time shopping?

Re: Shopping frustration
I HATE shopping. I despise going to stores. I'm not even that difficult of a fit. I order stuff online in a variety of sizes. I can try everything on at home (with my shoes, other clothes, etc) in better lighting than a fitting room. Plus, I don't have the stress of seeing other people who are actually enjoying shopping. BTW, the cuts nowadays are NOT flattering...
If it wasn't for a Tall Girl and Long Tall Sally I would be at a loss.
DH once suggested and only once. That I shop at Tractor Supply Company (TSC) for my size when there for horse supplies. He is wiser now and knows he is lucky to be older.
