I was tired of everything being about later. What I'd buy when I lost more weight. For the future me. I remember thinking, I don't want to keep buying clothes for a skinnier version of me. I want to feel like myself right now.
Working with Ros taught me so much about the relationship between my body and clothes. I thought it would be fun shopping and getting new clothes (and it was!) but the Body Blueprint showed me why I'd struggled with certain fits for years. I finally understood why belts had never worked on me. What rise I need in jeans. Why I always felt swallowed up in shirts around my shoulders. There were all these little lightbulb moments of, oh THAT'S why.
We used those learnings to find enough clothes I loved on me now, without spending on a full closet I might size out of.
I'm still losing weight, and I don't know exactly where I'll end up. But I understand my body in a new way, and I'm not stuck in leggings every day waiting to reach some future size. I realized it's so much more motivating to be on this weight-loss journey while still dressing for work, dinners out, and life, and actually feel good about how I look right now, not just someday.
