After successfully losing weight, you need to go through an adjustment period to find your own style.

Weight Loss Diary 43

May 20, 1996

Last month, I submitted an article about Paris to a women's magazine. Unexpectedly, a few days ago...

I was surprised to receive a call saying they had decided to use my article, and that from June 1st to June 8th...

I could go to Paris with them. My sister and I immediately celebrated this wonderful opportunity.

I rushed off to buy fashion magazines, hoping to pick out some clothes to wear in the fashion capital of Paris.

The security guard always looked quite amazed as he watched me change every day. And another...

Every time I saw him, the security guard would ask me about "Fat Sister": "Last year with you..."

"Did the chubby sister I've always been with go back to her hometown?"

The magazines I bought in search of fashion inspiration were filled with various weight loss articles and diet tips.

Advertisements. Among them are various inaccuracies. For example, "Lose 10 kilograms this summer..."

"Secrets to Dieting," "A Single-Food Diet You Can Eat As You Like," "Lose Weight While Sleeping"

"Nighttime weight loss methods for fat people"... I really can't understand these methods no matter how I look at them.

Moreover, the absurd methods used throughout this article truly chilled me to the bone.

After finding the style I wanted in the magazine, I went to Ewha Womans University to shop for clothes.

I went. After successfully losing weight, I had a lot more money to spend on clothes. Every month, my clothing size increased...

Sizes will change: underwear needs to be replaced, and T-shirts that used to fit are now too big.

Like an old man's shirt. Now I can wear size 27, and my waist has dropped from 91 cm to 68 cm.

Now, when I take the bus, I no longer have to worry about what other people think. I remember there was...

Once, when I was traveling from Pohang to Seoul by car, I sat next to a very handsome gay man.

Learning. My heart was surging with excitement the whole way; I even made a special trip to the rest area to give the male...

My classmate bought drinks. But the car was about to leave, and the male classmate hadn't returned. So I called the driver...

The driver said the person sitting next to me hadn't returned yet-just then, I saw that man...

My classmate was sitting in the front. My loud voice attracted the attention of everyone on the bus, and they finally...

I'd like to know why the male student changed seats. Because it's usually a two-person seat...

One person could almost fill the whole place. After that, every time I took a bus, I always opted for the more expensive one.

Waiting for a seat, although this is somewhat inappropriate for my student status, there's no other way.

In the past, when buying jeans, I could only afford pants from a certain high-end brand, because only...

They have a full range of sizes. I always buy their size 36 jeans, to the point that some of my classmates even think...

Because I'm from a wealthy family. One of the biggest benefits of successfully losing weight is that I finally...

You can buy your favorite clothes for very little money. I don't actually crave fame or fortune.

Brand. At the time, what seemed like a perfectly ordinary T-shirt and jeans outfit to everyone else was, in my opinion...

They always come dressed in very "luxurious" outfits. Every time I go to a clothing store, the first question I ask is...

It's not about the style, but whether there's a size that fits me. This "tragic" history, now...

It has slowly faded from life.

I felt that all the clothes in the shops in front of Ewha Womans University were tempting me with their dazzling colors.

So, I couldn't resist splurgeing. I bought several outfits, all size 66.

No more running to Yeongsan, Itaewon, or underground shopping malls to buy larger sizes. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

After losing weight, you can find your own style by looking at your friends' clothes.

Successfully losing weight is certainly something to celebrate, but the changes that come with it are not necessarily all...

It's a good thing. For example, if your weight keeps changing, you'll need to buy new clothes constantly, which is a problem.

Small expenses. Of course, if you were only 5-6 kg overweight, as long as...

Buy clothes one size smaller than usual. However, if you've lost 20 kilograms, you'll basically need more clothes.

The clothes needed to be changed four times. Each time the clothes were changed, there was an extra expense.

What's even more frustrating is that many of the clothes bought during this period will no longer be wearable.

If you suddenly gained weight and then lost it, you can wear your old clothes again.

However, if you've been chubby since childhood, then you'll undoubtedly need to completely change everything from your underwear to your outerwear.

Even leather shoes and socks had to be bought again because her feet had become thinner.

I've asked many members who have successfully lost over 20 kilograms how they buy clothes.

Yes, they did. Most of them answered that they initially used belts to shape their bodies, and then...

I'll only buy a few formal outfits that I can wear regularly after losing 10 kilograms. And then I'll wait until I lose another 10 kilograms...

They would only buy the clothes they liked when they reached a certain weight. However, they unanimously stated that losing weight was...

After achieving success, the frequency of impulse buying also increased.

After successfully losing weight, it still takes quite a bit of effort to determine your own clothing style.

Of course, at first, people might think that any kind of clothes suits them.

However, it's important to know that many clothes purchased in the initial stages of successful weight loss will wear out after a few months.

It will then "sleep" forever in your wardrobe.

Therefore, don't start by buying expensive clothes; instead, start with mid- to low-priced items.

Let's get started. If you still want branded clothing from department stores, buying basic styles is the safest bet.

Complete. You could choose black or blue dress pants, and a dress with a simple, understated texture.

A wool coat in a dark brown color, a shirt that isn't flashy but has very exquisite details, etc. These are things that won't be...

Clothes that are outdated due to fashion trends, but which you'll likely wear frequently. Also, try to avoid...

You should buy clothes with unique designs, overly ornate styles, or white clothes. If you really want...

If you're wearing white clothes, try to buy the cheapest ones possible.

It would be even better if you had a fashionista friend. Go to your friend's house and try on her clothes.

Clothing is also a good method. Friends with excellent taste in clothing will give you very insightful advice.

Opinions can help you quickly find a style that suits you.
