Nor here, but time is, and a hatred of shopping. So if anyone would
like to go for me G . . .

If I lived in a more urban area and had a better sense of style, I'd like to
be a personal shopper

I do remember back when I was "growing down" through my clothes, and
getting rid of them as I did. But I never bought any at all until I
lost the first 70 pounds (out of 86), and I'll have to tell you, it
wasn't a pretty sight. Finally I had no choice, because I was going to
buy clothes or walk around naked after the clothes I owned fell off
me.

I didn't buy clothes at first until I went from a size 28 to about size
20-22. Now I only buy a few pieces in each size, but I do have to make sure
I look professional each day when I go to work. Strangely enough, if I go
in looking sloppy, the kids respond differently.

It was probably as good a reason as any for me to maintain my weight
loss this last (almost) 6 years. Otherwise I'd have to go shopping
again.

One big advantage to remaining a constant size is "point and click"
shopping.

I am looking forward to being the same size for more than a few weeks.
Hopefully that size will be an 8 I am a professional online shopper
since I don't live near too much decent shopping.
