So I'm 5ft 10, currently a size 16/18, can rarely find clothes to suit me as I am very curvy (34GG, 10in difference between waist and hips) and also have a wee pot belly which I heavily dislike. I planned to lose a little weight after Christmas, just enough to get down to a 'solid' size 16, making it easier to find jeans that fit well etc. Then I was prescribed a medicine that basically turns one into a narcoleptic with Prader-Willi syndrome. I'm on day 2 right now and I feel like a hungover zombie on Valium - I kept getting asked if I wanted help in Tesco as presumably I look stoned off my face.
so I can go two ways with this. I can hate my body, or I can keep trying the healthy things I want to do (eat well, take exercise when I can) and find things i can wear or do to make myself feel better. I'm already planning on getting a haircut next week, but what else? I can be tremendously lazy with clothes, as I can with food - I have nice things, but then I think that the day isn't 'special' enough to wear them, so end up wearing things I don't like that much. and I'm a terrible hoarder and getting rid of things that are a wee bit small is a bit like saying to myself that I will stay this size forever (not fat-ist, just thinking about being a shape which will make me happy). And I work in an office full of slim, non-spotty attractive people which doesn't make me feel too great -I don't want to deal with this by hitting the sweets that appear for birthdays or by casting myself in the role of the fat dowdy one, iyswim. Any advice?
