Ugh, clothes shopping is terrible because I'm a stone too heavy all around, and the aesthetic I like, I have the wrong body shape for (I'm a pear, and my aesthetic suits long and lean- even if I were two stone lighter I still couldn't have that long and lean aesthetic). Also, the only shop I love shopping at is uniqlo, and I have to gird my loins and travel to London to shop, because there isn't everything I can order online and hope that it fits, you know? Long story short, I'm back on the 5:2 diet and I'll have to be on it for the rest of my life because the other things (chub rub, not being able to wear cute crop tops, having to buy more fabric and yarn for my DIY clothing projects) is not going to fly! >:(

I like Ikea in that I can walk and gawk at the same time, and my hubby treats it as a busman's holiday. But yeah, you do have to gird your loins and go, I think!

With regards to shirts- yeah, purchase one now if the price is half price. I just purchased a [redacted] team's shorts because it's gone from £26.00 -£8.00! I can wear those while I'm walking and it's a lovely inky blue with a yellow border. (._.)

Ugh I do get what you mean in a way, I've lost 3 stone so far but I've got to the point where I don't like anything I have in my wardrobe and I don't like anything in the shops. But I need to get back onto healthy eating and exercise now so I'm going to start on Monday, because no one starts on a Saturday right?! I haven't tried the 5:2 as I would probably be a nightmare on the 2 days, but good luck with it!

IKEA is a pain having to walk past everything you would really want just to get the one thing you went there for. Window shopping and impulse buying at its worst!

I think I will get the Hummels shirt once I get paid, because lord knows I will need something to cry into.

3 stone?! Well done! A stone would do me well. I think after a lot of thought, my ideal size is a size 10 on top and size 12 on bottom. I'm a size 14 all round (US 10), but it just feels too heavy. I won't lie, the weight has helped in terms of hiking/climbing, and in the winter, I do feel cold if I'm a bit on the thinner side.

Regardless, ugh, I think for my height, the smaller I am the better. Yeah, the first two days are hard, but then you get over it. I stopped it last year because again, I felt cold, but sorry not sorry, I'll just have to get used to the cold or change countries! :D

Ikea - I will say that I'm trying to shed my house of clutter, so I don't need more furniture or whatever. But dude, they have the sweetest stationery of notebooks and folders et al- I didn't know that until I was at check out and saw a girl with some books and she says that they are AMAZING! I need some, and they aren't too expensive. I hate driving, but I might gird my loins and go out there one evening in the coming week!

Yeah, buy the shirt now. I don't know why football jerseys are so expensive though, I really hate polyester and how it feels against my skin. *shudder*

Also! I find the shirts for women to be naff. I'd LOVE, LOVE to get a t-shirt but they are all diamante, glitter or pink? FML. The Dortmund shirts look good- but what's Puma's cut like?
