WL, clothes + other worries

Hi yall!

I (28 F) started changing my diet around September 2025, i was just under 240lb, at the beginning of 2026 i started going to the gym once in a while and I have weekly ballet classes that have helped me stay active. I love, love, love fashion. From buying clothes to making them, everything. I have several pieces from Japan that were supposed to be an oversized fit and i just wore as a normal fit and some stuff that was a little tight that with time i noticed just fit better. I am now around 175-180lb (unsure of exact amount as i am prone to ED and dont allow myself to get weighted more than once every other week or once a week at most).

Where I am now, most of my clothes don’t fit me anymore or are ill-fitting and will have to part with some if not most of my wardrobe at some point in the next year since my goal is somewhere around 140lb.

I wanna know what your experiences are with having to buy new clothes? I attach a lot of memories to clothes I wear, but I also dont have the money to drop for jeans every few months. Im literally down to 2 or 3 pairs of pants that i cycle through for work and hoodies have kept me going since my office at work gets pretty cold but yesterday for 4th of july i realized truly how little of my non-work clothes fit well anymore.

I plan on altering some stuff myself and for the more expensive pieces maybe find a tailor or seamstress but I wanted to hear from the people, hence why I’m here.
