But, it's cold outside! I want to wear my coat!

I'm irritated. Why? Well, it has finally gotten too cold for my denim jacket, even with one of my 17 scarves (I love scarves.). Admitting defeat, I hauled out my winter coats this weekend and both are insanely too big. I mean, yes, it makes sense. I have lost a significant amount of weight and even more inches since last winter (I was losing before I joined WW) so obviously the coats are going to be too big. But still.... My parka is so oversized that I could fit two people in it with me. I am seriously swimming in fabric. I feel like a 5 year old wearing my dad's jacket or something. Extra insulting is that while you wouldn't necessarily think it, all the extra room makes it way less cozy and warm and it is now downright drafty!

More tragic than my drafty parka is that my lovely dressier coat (shown in the above photo taken the day I bought it) is literally hanging off me. When I first got it I had to move the buttons so that it would be looser. Actually you can even see in this picture that it is so tight it was pulling at the buttons. Now, however, I don't think I can move the buttons enough to make it fit because they'll be across the pocket!! GRR! I love(d) that coat! It does NOT look good anymore. Boo hiss.

Now, the temptation is to go out and buy a new winter coat but I just don't have the money and frankly I rather expect that come next year I will have lost enough weight to need a new coat all over again. So instead I am going to suffer with my dumpy-looking oversized winter coats for this year and next year get a proper new one that fits and that I love. That will be my reward for looking dumpy this winter.

So let this be a warning to you all -- weight loss, while awesome and gratifying, can wreak havoc on your outerwear options.

also, what the hell is up with my hair in that picture?! I almost recommend clicking on the picture to see the full size, just so that you can really get the full scope of how ridiculous my hair is. Seriously, what the freg was I thinking? Could my face look rounder and fatter?? Lord Almighty. I can haz fashion sense? Thank heavens I have tidied up my appearance since then. LOL
