Congratulations on your continued amazing progress.</p> <p>If none of your clothes fit, I definitely recommend picking up at least a few pairs of pants and shirts that you are comfortable in now. Buying them used is a good idea. Speaking from my own experience, wearing clothes that fit you properly at your new (however temporary) lower weight is an incredible feeling. It's like a continuous reminder of the progress you've made.</p> <p>Just go into a store and try on a pair of pants, at least.
