Should I wait until I lose this 1 to 2 inch to shop for clothes again?

I gained a little too much weigh back in 2007 from recovering from anorexia.I lost the weight.Now all my big clothes are too big on me. My mom said I really should go shopping because all my big clothes are just too big on me.And I still have size 8 clothes from before I gained the weight.My mom is trying to encourage me to wear my size 8s I have and to get more size 8's. I still feel big though.I still have 1 to 2 more inches to lose off my waist and obliques.I got into the size 8s but they are still a little snug in obliques area. Shouldn't I wait until I shed these last 1 to 2 inches before I go shopping for clothes.My parents want me to get away from these big clothes I been wearing.Even some of my residents at the nursing home said I'm small now so why am I wearing fat girl clothes?I still have 1 to 2 more inches to loose. My mom esp. hates when I wear my ex best friends big skirts.When I was heavy I was only a size 10.I was a 12 but got down to a 10.Now I'm back to a size 8 but they are still snug in obliques and hips area so I have a little work to do. My mom hates it when I wear my ex best friends size 22 to 24 skirts.I have to pull the skirt and then pin the skirt to my shorts and panties to keep them from falling down.My mom and friends said thats too much.My ex best friend gave those skirts to me and said I can have them altered.One belonged to her mom.I never did get these skirts altered.They're cute long blue jean skirts but they are huge on me and even more huge on me since I'm back to 8. My mom keeps putting catalogs in my face telling me to please start shopping and says how proud she is that I worked hard and lost the weight I gained.Plus I want to be a teacher and my mom says I don't look like a future teacher wearing those big old shirts and skirts.I have a pair of old scrub pants I wore at my old nursing home job thats a size 2X and I have to pull the drawstring really tight to keep them from falling off me. I still have 1 to 2 inches to shed off my obliques and waist.Shouldn't I do the world a favor by not wearing size 8 clothing yet? I didn't say a size 8 was fat girl clothes. I am wearing my ex best friends' size 22 to 24 skirts that I have to pin to me LOL. My size 8s are still a little snug.Can't wait to shed these last 2 inches so I can get my size 8s back.

1. Whats wrong with being a size 8?! that's not even obese or fat. I would suggest to buy clothes since they dont fit well on you. maybe like afew things till you lose weight because then you'll need to waste money on more clothes.
2. i didnt understand any of that but just for the record, you said a size 8 is fat girl clothes. ITS NOT. so wear what you want. its up to you. but you shoud just wait untill you get to the weight you want first then by clothes that are perfect, instead of wasting money on clothes that wont fit anyway...
3. Your a recovered anorexic trying to do something significant with your life! Reward yourself with new clothes. You deserve it. Wearing oversize clothes will just remind you of the negative images of the past and could totally mess with your self image and you could relapse. You've accomplished a lot so far and are wanting to do even more, so you deserve a new wardrobe. And even if your friend's skirt is super cute, it'll look aweful on you because it doesn't fit. Either get them altered or give them back because they don't fit. Yard sale them if neccessary. It really doesn't matter if you wear an 8 or a 10. Buy a new wardrobe now, and when you do lose the last of the weight, just get it everything altered. If you won't listen to what I say, I suggest atleast getting rid of the 22-24 clothes and buying a few pieces that fit you now. You really should buy clothes that fit. It keeps your self image up.
4. You could by a couple of sute outfits in the smaller sizes .. it ight motivate you too continue on with the weight loss...
