Great question. I have two sessions a week at night (one meeting at 8:30pm, one at 9:00pm), so usually I get home from work the first thing I want to do is change into my jeans.
My weight totally dictates what I wear to therapy. (And of course, we work on weight issues constantly in the room...) When I'm at a lower weight, the outfit might be jeans and a closer-fitting top/sweater/whatever. If I feel fat and blah, it'll be jeans and a sweatshirt.
Sometimes I feel I should dress nicer, since my T. always looks sharp...like he's dressing up for me and I'm not for him. He never, ever makes comments about my appearance, though. He once said, "I'm no fashion plate..." and I interrupted him and said, "I beg to differ." That was kind of funny.
Amazing what a 20-pound swing will do for your confidence, clothes style, etc. Of course, we all know this, right?
