I went on a shopping spree... / weight BCP?

Posted by sid on May 5, 2002, at 13:58:21

... and it feels good!

My old clothes don't fit anymore! I thought I'd lose weight and wear all these nice clothes again, which I intend to do, but in the meantime, I've been wearing old, ugly, baggy stuff and frankly, it did not help me feel good about myself at all. My students are better dressed than I was. So I went to buy summer clothes - nothing fancy, all useful and easy to mix and match, and I feel good about it. Plus, I made sure I'd still be able to wear that stuff as I lose weight, or that I can easily alter the new clothes myself.

Anyhow, I guess I've got some shopaholic in me. Although it's a one stop thing for me. There's this one shop where I usually find my clothes, and I usually buy everything there. It feels great to treat myself this way, thank God I don't shop often! I'm not crazy about clothes shopping, and the salespeople know it too. I shop about twice a year for clothes, so I get great service when I go - they know I'll get out of there with a lot of things.

Oh well. Aren't I superficial today? It feels good at times though. The weather is a bit nicer here (eastern Canada - summer not in site yet), and I was getting worried about what the heck I'd be wearing in the coming weeks.

About my weight: I'm wondering if the pill isn't part of the problem. I've gained 30 lbs about the same time I started taking the pill to help with acne and PMS. I have major oedema (water retention), that's for sure. Any thoughts on this?
