Another NSV
I've just spent the last 2 hours purging clothes again. 1 bag to a friend, 1 to garbage and two to goodwill.
I organized my closet so now everything hanging fits me now and is good to go. Some smaller sizes are folded on top and will soon to make the journey to hangers.
Exciting times.

I have just started to find some of my clothes are now too big, feels amazing to actually bag up some of the bigger things and know that hopefully I will never see those sizes again!

So funny... I have smaller sizes folded on top in my closet too! Although, most have ended up on the hangers recently...just a few more items to go!
Congratulations! Isn't it the greatest!!

Nothing feels better then getting rid of clothes that are too big! I am closing in on the 100lb loss and I now hardly have any cloths. But the ones I have look good!! Soon time to shop for my wardrobe!!

That is the best feeling. I went shopping in the states yesterday and instead of trying on size 2X tops I was trying on XL and even some L and they fit!!! I only bought some cheaper t shirts but wow that felt good.

I organized all my old smaller clothes by size on a rail in the basement, as things get too big they go in the box for donation, and i keep trying on smaller stuff, not quite into my next size down in jeans, sizes are weird, I realized I had all these old dress pants that would fit, but we all wear jeans at work now, oh well, more for the box. We have a store in town run by the local women's shelter and they are always looking for good clothes in large sizes so my donations will go there, I checked and they'll take them all and anything they don't want they donate to Diabetes, so a win/win. I figure I'm going to need to buy clothes for the summer, as you don't tend to keep a lot of summer clothes around and I know the ones I've got hanging there will be huge by then.

That is a great feeling getting rid of your old clothes! I did that a few months ago but it might be time to look at it again. I've been buying just cheap clothes until I get closer to my goal weight but it feels so good to buy the smaller sizes. Always amazed when I fit into small size. I held up my new pants the other day and thought there's no way I'll fit into these. But they fit!
That's awesome!! I love going through my closet and purging what doesn't fit anymore... although letting go of some of my favourites has been a bit sad too. I think you were over when I let go of a couple of those items. I may have shed a tear. Lol
Alas, the pros and cons of weight loss. Thankfully, those favourites have been replaced by new, smaller favs! Umm, shopping problem?! ;)
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.
