I can't go out with my friends for the dumbest reason

my friends were grabbing drinks tonight at a bar in our neighborhood. I can't go because it's really cold out, and I have no warm clothes or a winter jacket because since last winter I have gained 2 sizes and I haven't had time to go shopping yet! so the only clothes I have that fit are summer clothes. I tried on everything I kept from previous winters, and they are all too small. it is really crappy because I don't think my friends believe me, but I really want to go out! but it's under 30 degrees out and it's a 10 minute walk to the bar, I can't wear a short sleeved tshirt and a light jacket!

Or try to layer some things. Walk quickly to the bar, and drink a lot.. then the walk home will feel all warm and fuzzy.

If it's stopping you from going out and you have to start a thread about it maybe you should take NYPJ1's advice and get moving!
long story...used to be psycho about working out- 2 hours 6 days a week and ate practically nothing. went to grad school, got a boyfriend, lived in an autocentric area...basically became not-so-pysco about working out anymore. Plus I screwed around with my medication a bit...working out and eating nothing just became lower on the priority list in grad school.
trying to get back to being pyscho again. today i'm skipping brunch with my friends to get a run in before volunteering. my friends are going to kill me, but I can't help it, I have to start getting my priorities back in order. if it's to the point that my winter jackets don't fit, I definitely have a problem. It's been tough though- for some reason I just don't have the same motivation I used to to hop out of bed at 5:30 and do a killer workout. it makes me feel really bad that I can't get myself to be that kind of good person I used to be.
I've got to volunteer all day today, then I have a cocktail party at my upstairs neighbor's tonight. I'm going to have to wash my one long-sleeved shirt for work tomorrow and PRAY that I don't have to stay too late and will be able to go shopping after work...god I hate shopping! I haven't really been lazy about getting winter clothes though- i've been more busy and poor.
You should shop online. When I don't have time to shop that's what I do. Makes life a lot easier.
yeah I do sometimes, but I'm really hard to fit and every time I buy stuff online I end up having to go to the post office to return 95% of it.
Yeah, I try to buy stuff online that I've worn before (brands/styles) That way I have a better shot of actually having it fit.
yeah that's when I do it too. problem is that right now I have no idea what brands/styles I wear because it's totally different. I don't even know what size I am!
yeah, that's a pretty lame reason.

ever try to convince a leopard to change its spots? she's addicted to the drama of her weight like a junkie needs his smack.
I think she's still attempting to get her body into some shape it doesn't naturally want to go and it takes a lot of the energy that she probably needs for other things.
undoubtedly. it's plain as day she has serious body image issues and has for years. they've affected every part of her life, going back to the start of this board she's been talking about this stuff.
Hey Green Tea;
Woman to woman here, may I give you this bit of advice? (I will assume you said yes.........)
I was obsessed with weight from the time I was small because my sister was always extremely overweight and loud mouthed, so I use to watch people , kids, make fun of her all of the time. At the same time I use to see her scream at my parents and me all of the time. So, I got this screwed up idea about weight/loudness and what being a girl meant. I wanted to be quiet and skinny. I got my wish and graduated 8th grade at 87 pounds, 5 foot 5 by barely eating. I wore a size 3, had like no color in my face and had no fun because of all of the worry about not eating and working out, like you said.
Ok so I do not want to make this about me, I just wanted to give you background here.
I know that if you don't watch what you eat or don't move to exercise, you gain weight, all of us do if we aren't careful. And sometimes being miserable makes us all want to eat and do nothing.
How about you think about trying to live your life and have fun and maybe your weight issues will just go away themselves? I think people use to be able to stay in shape because they were physically active and too busy to obsess like we do about weight and looks. I know not everyone was slim then but I bet if you don't eat like Britney Spears, (i.e., the cheeto diet) and you don't drink a lot, (drinking makes us all hungry) and go out a lot, walking, being outside, whatever, you will just lose the weight and not be all caught up in it all.
let me know what happens, ok? good luck to you.
and even though I am also concerned about not being flabby, and I try to be reasonably conscious about it all as well, here's a thought;
we usually all die thin, so have fun now..........
Together we will float like angels.........
In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

unfortunately, this is my 3-4 workouts/week size. I just gain fat very very easily, and I'm big boned and big muscled underneath it all, so it looks worse/makes it harder to buy clothes. When I was just a little kid the doctor told me that I have to learn to live with the fact that I have to eat less and exercise more than most people. I'm not really "letting myself go" the way most people would think, i've just let myself go relative to myself. It's not like I get no exercise or eat a lot, I'm pretty normal right now (actually I'm probably better than normal). the problem is, my body does not seem to understand "normal."
my weight doesn't go up and down all that much- well it does in the short term, like day to day it could vary by 5-10 lbs of water-but I mean this is only the second time I've had a drastic change.
Verona??? it's all surmountable

What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
just buy some clothes online. i'm sure if you don't turn up once for your friends party that they'll be ok with that.
Yeah helen, I mean I agree with everyone. I believe in intuitive eating and I do not believe in dieting. And I totally agree with you about living in the city. that's part of how I gained so much weight-my grad school was in North Carolina, in a suburban sprawl area- nothing to do and nowhere to walk. I don't work out just lose weight though. I like being fit and muscular. when you are fit and muscular, you are just going to be more compact and fit in clothes better. and you lose some weight in the process.
I'm trying to figure out where the hell is the best place for me to go buy clothes tonight. I need like a macy's or something with a lot of options and sizes. god, I hated clothes shopping when I was thin! this is nothing but a pain in the ass!
