Mourning the loss of.....

My fat (well fatter) chic clothes. I am in cleaning up lots of things in my house and one of those things are the clothes that are just lying around, with no purpose. I tried on several, more than several pairs of jeans & pants. I knew, in my mind, that they would be too big but I just had to see. And yay! To my approval, they were huge on me. Some more bigger than others but they were so huge on me, through the legs and hips. They completely swallowed me!! Soooo....

I am boxing them up along with shirts & blouses that are too big as well & will be either giving them to someone who wants them or shipping them off to the Goodwill. Anyone want them let me know. They are mostly sizes 26 but may have a few a size smaller or bigger.

Thanks for reading. Just had to share!

Hmm, I might be interested in some 26/24s.  That is about where I am at depending on the style.  Shirts though, you are a different hight then me so the pants probably won't do. LOL 

I know the feeling on the clothes swollowing you!  Doesn't it feel great.  I plan on going through my closet this weekend.

I am still too big for them, but would love them because I know I will be getting smaller. Whatever Melissa wants give to her because she needs them now. But would love to have them for when I can get in them!

CONGRATS ON HAVING YOUR CLOTHES FALL OFF!!!!

TM - good work!  i'm so happy for you! lys

That's great! I remember how bittersweet that was... giving up stuff I had loved to wear, but that just did not fit me anymore.

Just don't forget to save one of your favorite outfits as a reminder. In fact, I just tried on my preop clothes the other day (we were cleaning out a closet) and had a good laugh at how MC Hammer would have been proud of my pants.

Also, I had an XL shirt that was a  "goal" shirt that I ended up saving as well, because I grew down into it, and then IT got too big, too. I am amazed to look at this shirt, because I can remember being preop and thinking to myself, "yeah right, I will NEVER fit into something that small". You might want to find a similar article of clothing -- something you think you'll NEVER be able to wear because it's too small. You'll be surprised.

Good luck on finding newer, cooler stuff to replace your clothes!

Hey Theresa,

Congrats on being able to get rid of your larger sized clothing! More wow moments are sure to come!

Interesting choice of words, Mourning.  It really is that isn't it?  I remember feeling the same way.  I held up a particular outfit that I had felt so good in and was alittle afraid that that person was dead and did I really want her to die. After all, I knew her and all her quirks.  Who is this new person I see in the mirror.  Well she (I) didn'tdie.  I just got better and better and you will too.  Look forward -- to all the new memories you will make in the new "smaller" version of you.

Conrats on your accomplishment.

You description is so accurate.....I felt the same way....although at times I AM that woman still....just in a different body getting a different and new (read: uncomfortable) kind of attention. Ahh to have the head catch up.....it does eventually right?!

Congrats Teresa Marie....it's just one step on this journey...one big wonderful step.

Congrats on being at the point where you do have to say goodbye to old friends.  The nice thing is, as you say goodbye, you get to welcome new ones.  :)

Congratulations Theresa!!  It is always such a great feeling to get into once tight clothes and find that not only are they no longer not tight, but they swamp you! You are doing great! Enjoy the feeling!! There are more to come!
