GRRR.

Is it as pathetic as I think it is that I'm trying to lose 5-10 pounds right now not because I'm overweight in the least, but because I can't fit into most of my clothes and I can't afford to buy new ones?

*sigh*

Nope. I'm doing the exact same thing, for the exact same reason. :\

Not pathetic at all. Very smart really. Trust me: it's better to nip this in the bud while you're only 5 to 10 pounds over before it gets to 20, 30, 40. (Hellew!)

Kinda, depends. Maybe.

Been there, done that. I've also done the reverse where I've had to gain weight because I can't afford to buy new clothes. So, I'm gonna say it's not pathetic, but practical. *hugs*

Exact same problem here and I just can't get them to shift! Let us know if you have any luck!

Hey, it's cool, we've all been there. There was about a year where I purposely tried not to lose weight because I couldn't afford new clothes.

Nope, I do it every spring. Except I'm late this year, I had to go to a wedding last night and went through at least 15 outfits before I found anything I could button/zip.

I'm pretty much doing the same thing myself right now.

No, not pathetic at all.
It's quite frustrating not to be able to wear stuff, and it's just those annoying few sneaky pounds that's the toughest to shed. Good luck. I am never able to do that if I try, it goes the other way - I gain pound extra.
