[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to spell it out for her, kindly. Explain how you have so many fond memories of shopping trips with her in your teens/twenties whatever, and she is so kind to want to take you again. You know you aren't looking particularly stylish and she probably wants to help you feel better about yourself with new others. You can explain that right now it's not on your priority list, and you feel self conscious and would really rather get the basics by yourself. But you'll love to have a special lunch, mani/pedi, golf outing or whatever. And maybe when you are more used to dressin g your new body maybe you can go shopping again for some fun accessories or something next year.

I am having a somewhat similar issue with my mom, except she just goes shopping without me and sends me clothes in a size that I haven't worn in 10 years. She is always talking about 'when I lose the baby weight' which is going to be never. I just don't care enough to diet and exercise as much as I did before kids but she can't seem to get into her head that I'm not going to be a size 6 again, ever.[/quote]
