Tiny confession, I am bad about buying clothes. I have a disorder that makes digesting food hard and on top of causing me pain it makes it hard to maintain a healthy weight. Because of it I have been the around the same weight for the last couple of years or I will go through periods of losing more weight. This makes it hard to justify buying new clothes. Everything I own is either exactly my size or a little big. And when I see something I like I immediately think about how even if I get something that fits me now it might be too big for several months out of the year and it just doesn’t feel worth buying it anymore. But then on the way home I kick myself because half of my clothes I have had since 10th grade and I don’t even like some of it anymore. Other pieces are things my family has given me and I just didn’t know how to say I didn’t want it. There was a stupid purple dress for $5, it was cheep and a color I never see and I wanted it. Did I buy it? Nope. Because I didn’t think buying a dress was worth dealing with the mirror in a month or two when I lose the weight again. This is such a stupidly simple problem but it doesn’t feel worthwhile to address with anyone around me because it is such a stupid problem. So I guess I’m just voicing it to the void to get it out of my head at least

    I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one, so I can empathize with you on this. When I have anxiety, I don’t comfort myself with food because I either have stomach pains when I eat or feel nausea making me avoid food altogether. As a result, I’m on the smaller healthy weight for my height

    I’m sure it isn’t the same reason you have the problems, I know there are many that can be the cause. Thank you for sharing and I hope the next spontaneous cute article of clothing ends up in your closet. 😉
