Get rid of your old clothes
Here in Raleigh, NC, there is a program at Ann Taylor Loft (this week only) that for every slightly used pair of pants that you turn in, they will donate them to Goodwill and give you $15.00 off a new pair. Also, at Stein Mart (3/5 to 3/8) for every pair (limit 4) of slightly used pants, they will give you a 20% off coupon and they are donating to Salvation Army. Not bad. Check it out in your area!
I live near a great Goodwill and Salvation army. I haven't paid more than $4.00 for a pair of Ann Taylor, Liz Claiborn, Gap, Limited. Talbot's or Harold's slacks in 3 yrs Started out a 22W and now a 6-8. What a feeling. And I do agree. You Must get rid of all but your favorite "fat" outfit. You always need it just to see how incredibly far you have come
