Two very different camps here!
I don't weigh but I'm a fluctuator due to you name it -- hormones, [hopefully now-past serious health issues!], type of exercise, lack of exercise, different eating habits, salt, hot weather water retention, random WTF.
I wear lots of knits and stretch wovens but they aren't magic!
To try to keep myself sane-ish and physically comfortable I have clothes that look:
- best when my body looks like shape "1" and are ok at "2"
- sad and droopy when my body looks like "1"
- best when my body is at shape "2", ok at "3" [I try to purchase and maintain the bulk of my clothes for this body shape + gravity combo]
- best when my body looks like "3"
[However, please please don't get me started on spending on and managing the #$)#% "bra wardrobe."]
This year has been kind of a PITA for dressing.
First, ill/painful bloat then post-surgery = a good 5-6 months of overusing the "3" category capsule. Hello, storage for most of my items!
Then somehow thinking surgery gave me a pass to eat whatever, whenever under the guise of being kind to myself -- a phase that should have been much shorter-lived = decision point re buying clothes for a "4" category or dragging myself back on board the healthier choices wagon.
Two months after Crossroads Cryfest and at least more things fit, but several fall/winter items are likely off to consignment/donation due to fit issues. Not real happy about that prospect as it won't be a 1 out 1 in situation, but reality sometimes bites.
[And apparently I do have my limits when it comes to what I can deal with in my closet!]
