My clothes don’t fit
Last year when I lost 25lbs in time for Caribana I got rid of all my “fat clothes”. I was wearing a size eight at the time so I threw out all my 10’s and 12’s. I didn’t want to know that I had clothes in the house that I could fit into if I gained back the weight. It was supposed to be my motivation for keeping the weight off. I didn’t need to keep articles on the fastest way to burn fat because not having the clothes in the house would be good enough for me to keep the weight off.
It didn’t work.
Getting promoted meant that I started stressing out more. And since I am an emotional eater it meant that I was eating more. It also meant that I didn’t have time to work out anymore. So I gained back the weight that I lost and now nothing fits. My pants are so tight they cut off circulation to my legs and my shirts don’t stayed buttoned. But it kills me to have to go buy new clothes.
To me having to buy new clothes means admitting that I have failed.
