weight loss/clothes for work?

oooCarrieBoooCarrieB
in May 2011 Moms

I'm not sure how much weight I've lost since I had the baby 6 weeks ago, but I just tried on some of my work clothes and they don't fit. Everyone says I look great, but I think my hips have widened and I have a muffin top thing going on and my boobs are bigger from breast feeding.

I go back to work in 3 weeks and I really don't want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe, especially because we are business professional. I have a few shirts and suit coats that will work, but my pants, skirts and dresses are too small. Is it reasonable to think that I might fit in these clothes at some point again? This is all new to me because I've basically been the same size for the past 10 years.

    It is possible you will fit into them again, then again, maybe not. It is too hard to tell. I would keep the clothes though, don't trash them yet! Go buy some stretchy more forgiving clothes for the in-between. I would just get basics for now ... Black skirt/pants, khaki pants, and a handful of tops that will work for the next 6 months. Maybe a couple forgiving dresses that will work in the fall too.

    Adding to this - it is not crazy to think you will fit into your clothes again though. It is totally possible and reasonable to think you will. It just may take some patience and time.

    I just wanted to say I'm in the same boat with the larger hips and boobs. I'm headed out Wednesday to do some shopping for a few basics to get me through!

    Thank goodness it's not just me! I only weight about 6 lbs more than I did prepregnancy right now but my hips are def bigger so I have the muffin top issue too. I'm not sure what to do about it but it's annoying =(
