Oh it's Friday! Tonight I'm embarking on a mission that usually leaves me frustrated and upset...clothes shopping. I'm taking a good friend with me for support and to reel me in if I start to go to the dark side (lol) and she is a shopaholic. I hate clothes shopping, mostly because I'm so tall if I find pants that fit my hips, legs and abdominal area, they are usually too short or too tight in the legs or because my waist is way smaller than my hips, the pants gape in the back. Usually I feel dumpy, frumpy and get discouraged...she went dress shopping with me last year and was awesome at keeping me from giving up.

I hate to put that responsibility on her but I know my limitations and in the past after a bad day of clothes shopping I would burry those feelings in food which only increased the discouragement because then I would sit and self loath. It's a vicious cycle and I have a great support system so when I told her I was going and I was nervous and why she offered to come and I happily accepted. So tonight is all about pants I just need a couple quality pieces that have some structure to them...maybe they could be taken in later as I get down a size too.

Well, wish me luck, I'm optimistic but not holding my breath.

Have a great day!
