No change. A little surprising, as I wasn't very active yesterday. I did go clothes shopping though...I needed pants for work. It was the first time I've tried on clothes in a shop since...before COVID. I've only bought things online since then. I've dropped 2 sizes, but it still was a horrible experience. Once upon a time in 2018 I was a size 8-I could grab anything in a store and know it would look great on me without having to try it on. Now it's all agonizing over which items are the least unflattering. I had to get it done, so I kinda disconnected from myself to get through. I'm sharing this as I know this experience is not unique to me. I'm reminding myself that my size now is just a stepping stone to my future goals, and this is fuel and motivation to keep going. I also bought a relaxing scented room spray to help calm and soothe when I need to; which was my reward for clothes shopping in the first place! 😄 💚

OMG, I hate clothes shopping so much, and I hate the mirrors in the change rooms even more! Well done on your successful shopping mission.

Look up an Instagram page called @trybeforeyoubuy - I found watching a size 16 woman showing off nice clothing and advising on size has made me feel most positive about clothes in general. I haven’t bought any of the recommendations, but I am starting to like clothes again and accept where you are now, knowing it will change

Thanks team! @Malgaynor: i love this idea. I do watch a few people on Youtube who are all about the body positivity and do try on hauls/styling tips, and yes I do find them helpful and uplifting... you're so right, it's about focusing on the future while accepting where I'm at in the present.
Thanks to both of you for the reminder 💚
