I do not like the power clothing has over me, still. I try
so hard not to care what size I am because sizes are different in every store.
I am getting much better at not letting the size I have to buy bother me
because I know ultimately it doesn’t matter. What still gets to me is when the
season changes and I have to figure out if my clothes fit or not, and it fills
me up with so much anxiety and sadness every time. I hate it. I know I am way
healthier now and I love that but not being able to fit into clothes that I
used to fit into makes me feel horrible. A lot of times I avoid trying some of
my stuff on altogether because I don’t want the sadness and disappointment that
comes along with it.
Due to months of health/physical issues I know I weigh
more than I did last year at this time, and I am terrified of trying on all of my
shorts. I know most will “fit” but I don’t like fitted clothes and will feel
super uncomfortable wearing them. I was having this conversation with my best
friend who is in the same boat as me, and she did a really positive thing that
I think I might have to do. She took one look at her shorts, knew they wouldn’t
fit how she wanted, and got rid of them! Just like that! Luckily she can afford
to buy a couple new pairs! I was so proud and inspired by what she did. I don’t
have money at the moment to buy myself some new shorts but I think I will get
rid of them anyway, I have plenty of dresses to last me until I have some money
in a month or so. It just makes sense to not even go there if I know beforehand
it isn’t going to go well. I am also curious if other people that have not
battled an eating disorder have the same struggle I am having. It’s way more
important for me to feel comfortable in my clothes than to worry about trying
to fit into something that makes me uncomfortable and sad.
