Still Mad at Clothes!

I finally broke down and bought a new pair of jeans. This is after I finally wore through one of the two old pairs that can best be described as "barely hanging on my lack of hips or butt" for quite a while now. I bought a size smaller than my old jeans were. I bought the same brand - different style though. Tried them on - fit fine. I was excited, they were a full size smaller (down from 18 to 16). They fit well without fitting too tight. I'm feeling kind of skinny! Yay!

Took them home, washed them. I was excited to wear my new smaller jeans today, they were going to fit well. I was actually going to have a pair of jeans that fit well, no sagging butt, no hiking them up all the time...... They're too lose. But them on, straight out of the dryer. They seem strangely a little loser than I remembered them being when I tried them on, but didn't think much of it. You know, when you're trying things on in the store, unless you can't get your butt in them, you don't always remember exactly how they fit. I started moving around, making breakfast, sitting down to breakfast...... by the time I stood back up after I ate, they were just barely hanging on me. =P Excuse me, you're brand new, your smaller, your supposed to fit! Don't get me wrong, I am still feeling kind of skinny, and yeah a little more skinny than I was before, but now I'm just annoyed.

I'm sure so many of you are saying "ya, ya, quit complaining and get over it." And I do understand that sentiment. But you have to understand - I hate shopping. I've been back working in retail - I don't want to spend any more time at a store than I have to. I hate shopping. I particularly hate clothes shopping especially now. I have no idea what size I am. I have no idea where to even start. And as you can see I have no idea if something's even going to still fit after I wash it and wear it for 10 minutes. So the whole process of trying on clothing repeatedly and buying clothes just takes so much longer and is pretty much a hassle. I don't miss being heavy, don't get me wrong, but I do miss being able to walk in and pick up the size I need and be done with the whole process.

PS - I've offically hit under the 215 mark now! hehe!
