The fat clothes are history.

My wife and I did another round of closet cleaning and we got rid of all but one pair each of our fat pants--for comparison sake. Funny how emotionally attached I was to some of those. In one sense, I hated them and in another they were to me what Linus' blanket is to him. My wife also picked up a pair of pants for me at Steve & Barry's (great deals I guess). They are size 40, which is still bigger than I'd like but not the 48's I used to wear. I actually didn't mind trying them on.

Great job on getting rid of the clothes! I'm 2.5 years out of surgery and still haven't been able to part with mine. One of these days maybe lol. Amy

Thanks, Gene. It's such a good feeling and provides a lot more closet and drawer space. I have been absolutey ruthless this morning, cleaning out clothes that no longer fit me. My car is loaded with hang up stuff to go to the consignment shop and 2 big bags for garage sale and underwear in the trash....I have been hanging onto this stuff for months and I decided, new year, new job, next size here I come!!!! You guys really motivate me.....Have a great day! Mary

My fat clothes are gone...and I love it. I am trying to lose 20 more pounds and If any .....I repeat ..any...of my clothes in the closet get baggy they are going too! Its a rite of passage and so necessary psychologically....(IMHO)

WAHOO!~ That's great! Amazing how hard it is to part with them, isn't it? I had a professional job, before, I started disability, and retirement, and I had SO many expensive, beautiful clothes, it broke my heart to get rid of them!~ So, now, I have a whole closet full of NEW, small, clothes! ha Plus, more casual, for sure! Way to go, Gene!

Excellent Job Gene! Congrats! I just got rid of more of my stuff.. (to a consignment shop) I am still wearing fat clothes.. but less fat than before. Great job to both of you! Amanda

That is awesome Gene! I get rid of every large item the second it gets baggy. I don't want them around anymore.

Congratulations! It's thrilling to me to take out clothes that are too big but sometimes I only get to wear the clothes for a little less than a month so I don't buy much until I get to goal - in 27 pounds!!!!!!! Huguette

I'm a dork and didn't save a pair of "comparison" pants. I am anti-clutter so I'm always getting rid of stuff, plus I moved and that will really motivate one to get rid of things!

Great news! I love to clean out my closet and get rid of my fat clothes. I'm not attached to a single item You are so lucky to have your wife on board with you. I always feel like I'm selfish when when I don't bake my family desserts.
