Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I realized that I haven’t lost weight. All my clothes have just stretched to fit. FML

Today, I had to buy another pair of "fat jeans", because my old "fat jeans" became my new "skinny jeans." FML

Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. FML

Today, when I tried on a pair of pants at the mall, I asked the salesperson if I could have the next size up. She informed me that there wasn't a next size up. I have to LOSE weight to fit into the biggest pair of pants the store makes. FML

Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML

Today, I put on my "fat jeans" because none of my other jeans fit. Neither do my fat jeans. FML

Today, I'd finally reached my goal weight. I went into the office where my husband was, to show him the new size 8 jeans I'd bought. He responded with "I wouldn't buy any more clothes, you'll be putting the weight back on again soon." FML

Forgetting something?
Today, I was trying on some new pants in the fitting room at a store. I was so overcome with joy when I noticed that I had dropped two pant sizes, that when I took them off and went outside to pay for them, I realized I forgot to put back on my original jeans. FML

Today, I've lost so much weight from depression that I don't fit into women's clothing anymore. There's nothing like trying to find dress pants in the kids section. FML

20 lbs is awesome! You rock! Don't let clothing options get you down, shop secondary, like thrifts and consignments for a great fit and a great price. Don't buy the best, buy the best FOR YOU!

Still a great start! Also, I hope you’re not trying to shop at Carter’s.

What store did you go to? A store that sells only petite sizes? ydi

What size are you now? If you’re happy with yourself just go to a different shop!

20 pounds is awesome. Depending on what size you still are, you may just need to adjust where you shop until you lose more weight. I've lost 30 and am getting clothes from Dia.com. Then when I'm smaller than the sizes they handle, I'll switch. Don't let this discourage you. You're doing a great job. Keep up the hard work. You're rocking it! And if you're using Weight Watchers, come join the FB group Weight Watchers With Potty Mouths for awesome support!!!

Well done!! Just keep going, a year from now you will look in the mirror and see a totally transformed person. And to the people who clicked YDI or made insensitive comments: **** all of you.

Just go to a different store. Hopefully that's not the only store in your town that sells clothes. If it is...fyl, if not, find a store that sells your size. The stores that only sell small and petite are usually full of snobby workers anyway. And they're usually expensive for no reason.

Congratulations! That's actually a good accomplishment! Are you in the teenage section by chance? I've done that before, don't feel bad. :D
