Don’t buy clothes when you are hungry

If you ever cared about losing weight, you must have heard of this phrase: Don’t go shopping at the supermarket when you are hungry.

But I need to tell you another important thing: Don’t buy clothes when you are hungry.

Because when you are hungry, you might come up an illusion:

I often have this illusion. After having two meals that were 80% full, I felt my belly empty and my legs weak. I associated this feeling with being THIN. Then like a whirlwind, there came the unstoppable urge of shopping for new clothes.

When browsing online, the emptier your stomach was, the more you related to the models— since I was already thin like them, of course, I could wear whatever the heck I wanted.
