To Keep or Not to Keep?

Pigeongirl

Hi there guys!

I would really appreciate your advice, it's not a serious problem or anything, I'm just not sure what to do.

I have recently lost a lot of weight and all my clothes are now hanging off me and generally looking pretty rubbish. I went to Sainsburys this morning and found a gorgeous pair of trousers which cost £20. I only went in for wrapping paper but I ended up buying the trousers because they fit beautifully and look great.

However, I only have £110 to last me until 20th July now. This is just 'housekeeping' so no bills to pay or anything. Just food and household stuff.

Do you think I should take the trousers back so I have an extra £20 in the budget? I know that would be the sensible thing to do but I hardly ever buy myself clothes.

What would you do?

Thanks in advance for your input!

EDIT: I mean 20th June not July - that would just be crazy! Sorry.

Sell your old clothes on eBay

Keep the trousers as they fit well, will increase confidence just don't make a habit of it or it could all go t!ts up.

20th July is a long time away. I'd take them back.

If you've lost alot of weight you deserve a pair of perfect fitting trousers as a reward and an incentive (A confidence boost). Just be careful with money you have left.

I'd keep and try to sell the clothes that don't fit on ebay. I think you need some kind of boost to keep you going. If you do decide to take them back however, Sainsbury are due to have a 20% off period coming up pretty soon, so look out for it, you could always buy them back then, but whether they will have your new size will be a gamble.

good luck

Definately keep them, like the others have said just be very careful for the rest of the time, and next month budget some money in for yourself to buy the odd treat. I've managed to get some good charity shop bargains lately.

Def keep them. We all need a treat and I bet you feel great in them if you have just lost weight. Dont feel guilty just enjoy them. As others have said pop some stuff on e bay to make up for it if you can.

Keep them as they make you feel good & you deserve them for loosing the weight.
Wish i could loose weight& find some trousers that are a good fit.

I'm witht he others on this one - keep 'em you're worth it!
and ebay all your non iftting clothes or invite your fat mates round and have a clothes swap aprty and get all their skinny clothes that don't fit 'em that they are keeping for when they'll slim into them again :rotfl:
wel done for losing all that weight I bet you look great now.
I still have 3 stones to lose by August next year (1 stone to lose before August this year)
Thanks for the great incentive though.

I think you should keep them, as a reward for losing the weight and a treat for doing so well. If you don't often buyclothes I think you deserve them. Is there anything you can sell on ebay or amazon, not necessarily clothes to return the £20?
