I waited over a year!

I waited over a year.  I bought this beautiful summer dress.  I didn't like how it looked at 158 pounds, so I went on the diet from Mars.  I lost 38 pounds.  I put on the dress today at 120 pounds, me not the dress, and it hangs on me like sack.

It is an expensive dress, and I love it.  Is life not fair or what?  I love the new weight, and the old weight I knew was temporary, but I lost the dress now.  I lost a lot of nice clothes.  I bought good clothes for my bigger body, now I have the tiny body with no nice clothes.  When does things get right?

I agree with Priscilla--find a good seamtress and have the favorites altered to the new size.  It's too hard to find clothes we like!

I had the same problem. Back in college I went on this exercise craze and lost 30+ pounds and all my clothes became really loose and even though I looked better and healhtier my clothes made me look worse. Had to get a whole new wardrobe and get rid of all my all clothes that probably cost hundreds of dollars. Not fair!
