Thanks for the post. Times of weight transition are also excellent opportunities to use thrift shops, consignments stores, thredup.com and other secondhand sources. The clothes are inexpensive, and it’s environmentally friendly to recycle by buying and again when you donate or sell them later.

My reply is to Natalie K. Your post really touched me. It reminded me why I do what I do by the grace of God. I know well what you go through but from the other side of the dialysis chair. I happen to be a kidney doctor.
I was young when I became a doctor , 23. One of my first rotations as an intern was nephrology. A young 26 year old diabetic patient hospitalized with heart failure told me one of his goals was to get well enough to be able to fly out to Colorado to see his nephew. His heart wasn’t strong enough to withstand the higher altitude. I could relate to him in that I loved my nephews and nieces but my goal at the time was to be perfect- best doc, fittest and so on. That rotation changed my life. I developed a real admiration for the dialysis patients who continued to try to live a fulfilling life despite their challenges. I am sure you are a great example to your friends and family.

Wonderful suggestions, whether your losing, gaining or maintaining your weight. I used your “check list” to see what I have and needed. I was going on a shopping trip today-haven’t been in over a year-to fill in the gaps. First, I’m finding basics, clothes that I always count on are non existent. At BR a sales associate said they can’t keep basics in. I like to keep a black wrap dress in my closet all year. Mine from many years ago has worn out. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. This has never been a problem until recently. There was some version of a wrap dress in every store. I finally found one at BR that might do. ( you gave an example, which is lovely but I like a simpler sleeve)
