shopping

I'm not a size 00 anymore. In fact, I'm not even close. If I tried putting on a pair of my 00 jeans, I don't even know if my foot could fit in it anymore.

How do I feel about this??

SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!

It's day four of buying nothing new, and already I have run into trouble. There are just so many things I buy without thinking about it! Most of these have to do with personal hygiene, which might be considered a necessity along the lines of food, but I'm torn. The one that really trips me up is razors. One cannot buy used razors.

Comparing the city of San Francisco to my own home of Littleton, PA (not real town name, of course) is hard to do, because there aren't very many similarities. San Francisco is huge, with shops of designer products and clothes, and an involved public transportation system of cable cars, BART, buses, and taxis.

So I kind of accidentally spent a rent's worth of money on a new wardrobe today.

Oops.

But seeing as my mind can rationalize anything, I thought of this:

Having an eating disorder makes you not want to wear form fitting clothes or look in mirrors.

Part of the healing process is WEARING form fitting clothes and LOOKING in mirrors.

#16: When in doubt, ask.

Did you ever doubt it??

Yes, it's been a while, but I'm back.

#13: If you're returning something without a receipt, don't complain about the price you get for it. (Refer to #6 in part 2 for a horror story regarding this tip).

I've been absent awhile, but they are back!

10) Know when the store closes.
