I only own 2 nightgowns, I usually wear pjs, but am wearing one right now. I was wearing one when they brought me to the er and they had to cut it off me!! I ruined a pair of socks with my bloody stool too - so they threw those out as well.... I hate shopping, but I really do think I'm going to need to get a new night gown. I also need to find new socks - I only have 3 pairs of those socks and I LOVE them.... but I cannot remember where I bought them... I worry about either of my kids taking my 2 remaining pair!!

I know this is silly in the grand scheme of things, but I miss my nightgown and socks! the nightgown was on a clearance rack at Fashion Bug a few years ago and it's great because it has pockets - I'm 5'10" and most are too short, but this actually goes to my knee.

Oh, that sucks. I know when you are comfortable with something it is hard to see it go away! But I can tell you soon enough you will be getting rid of that old stuff anyway! There are plenty of things out there on Clearance. Might go find you something that the "New You" would love!

I can tell you that it is sort of hard getting rid of things. I am giving my old "big" clothes to my Mom. I don't buy a lot of stuff but I don't buy cheap stuff so it is hard getting rid of it. I feel better giving it to my Mother but still seeing it go out the door is hard. But since I have this special "problem" I haven't had to buy clothes because I have a whole closet FULL of CLOTHES from my former life. I some how in my fantasy mind thought I might get into these size 8 suits and clothes.....so, I didn't go in my clothes. The light was out in my walk in for a year and I did not replace it because I did not have any clothes in there I could wear...BUT NOW...I am wearing them again. (not size 8) but maybe!!!

Sorry to muse to you. I haven't admitted the light thing because I was ashamed of it. Being to big for clothes. Gaining weight. You know the story.

But what I am staying to you is...We will all be going through these clothes and they are only impressions of who we are. What is really important is our health and it will be exciting again going shopping because there will be more options to choose from and the clothes won't fit weird on us anymore.

I just bought a new pair of PJ's this weekend. I am 5'6 which I think is tall...haha...but I have long legs and I can't find the length..and my new PJ's are 4 inches too short but I did not take them back because I know they will go live at someone elses house in a few months. So, I am just ready for the flood! hahaha
