Clothing question

What do you guys do with your fat clothes?

And how do you handle buying smaller clothes, knowing that you are going to continue losing even more weight?

I have been using Freecycle. It's a group on Yahoo and you can join the one nearest you for free. It's an alternative to throwing things away. You can post that you have something to give away, or that you are looking for something. Then people e-mail you if they can meet your need. You meet, and you hand off or receive the items. The group is free, and the giving away of items is also free. I am using it to look for clothes and shoes. My feet have even shrunk, so my shoes are all now too big. LOL!

Whenever I had my surgery, there were lots of people who were several months ahead of me, some right with me, and several who were months behind me.  So, we had a clothing swap.  We brought all of our clothes and organized them by size and had us a good ole swap.  It was fun.

I gave my clothes to my mother and two sister in-laws when I had surgery. There is enough size range between two of them that 2 got the fisrt ones right after surgery and the other got them as I first began to scale down. I have a wonderful friend who had lost weight just prior to my surgery. She had sizes from 20 - 16 so I did not have to buy anythign for the first few months. She was a God send. When I did need somethign I would check the clearance racks first and then a thrift store (there is a good one on the way to my docotrs office). After I leveled off, I bought several things at one time to get me through las fall and winter. I am going to have to buy some new things for winter again. I think I can make do with the fall stuff because when I get home, I mostly wear jeans etc except for sunday and when I need to dress a little less casual....lol! I wnet for so long that I could not stand the way jeans felt, I felt as if they were going to cut me into, that I wear the heck out of them now....lol! Plus we frequent lots of ballgames and they are appropriate there.
