I did buy a dress that I want to wear by Christmas. I went to the store yesterday during lunch to try on some stuff. I have not bought any new clothes since most of mine were actually too small and I was busting out of them when I started, so they are starting to fit now. Also, I can sew - so I'll alter most of my clothes to make them last as long as possible too.
I am happy to say that I'm down from at 26-28 to a 22-24. Actually the pants I'm wearing today are 24's and they are too big - 2 months ago they were too small and I could not get them buttoned.
I digress - back to the dress.
Lane Bryant had a couple of black holiday dresses that were cute. (Can't wait until I'm too small to shop at "the big girls store" so that I can shop at cheaper places and buy cute clothes).
I tried one on that I really liked in size 22-24 that fit well. I grabbed the same one in an 18-20 - and put it on too. I got it on, but things were poking out in places that it should not have been; however, when I lose another 20 pounds and it will fit perfect.
I bought the 18-20 with the goal in mind to be able to wear it come Christmas. My husband's company Christmas party is in 4 weeks - I want to be able to wear it and feel comfortable in it by then. His co-workers have not seen me in 5 months - so it would be fun to walk in looking cute.
He's worked at this company 10 years and they have always seen me as heavy and we look mis-matched since he's super tall and thin and I'm very short and heavy. Also - I have not been able to wear an 18 in at least 10 years - so it would be a major accomplishment to be able to wear that dress & look good in it.
This is my new mini-goal.
