Small clothes
I know this is probably a strange post, and if it is out of order, just let me know.....but since last July I have lost about 12 pounds. I am six+ yrs out and was at a nice comfortable weight of 109-112. To make a long story short, they found something in my pancreas and hep C which may explain the weight loss. Anyway, around Dec or Jan, I cleaned out my closets and gave away all my small clothes, sizes 0 to 3. BIG MISTAKE.!!! If anyone is thinking about doing this,,,,,,,don't. You never know what is going to happen. Anyway, I would like to know if I can trade any clothes sizes 5-7,8,9 for some 0,2,3,4's, Junior sizes work and Girls sizes 12 or 14 work to. Went to Walmart and tried on a part of girls shorts size 12 and they fit great. I live in Sicklerville, New Jersey. If I am on the wrong page, can someone direct me to the right one. I seem to remember a place where trading went on, when I was a fatty, LOL. I can say that now. I am so used to being thin now. This is who I am now. Thanks.

I wish I had seen this a week ago. I just gave away 3 bags of clothes, including 14 pairs of jeans sized 12 and 14 girls and 0 and 1. I just decided I didn't want to keep anything that didn't fit perfectly or I never wore since I have so many clothes. I kept my sizes 2, 3 and 4 because that is where I want to be. Now I think I may have acted too soon since they are still too big on me. I just bought a belt. Anyway, with the warmer weather coming I wear mainly shorts and most of them have elastic waists so I should be fine.
I buy my clothes at thrift stores. I never pay more then $5 for jeans. I also get a lot of clothes at the Goodwill outlet where they sell clothes by the pound and I can't tell you how many things I've gotten for free off of Craigslist in the free section. That is where I give my clothes away, to pay back. Look on Sunday afternoons, especially with the weather being nicer. A lot of people give away their garage sale leftovers instead of packing them up for Goodwill. I have really cleaned up that way. Also check out Freecycle. You can post Wanted ads there and people are very generous in finding things for you.

Hope you are feeling good though! Sorry to hear about the latest issues.
I've been an eBay seller (& buyer) since 1998. I adore eBay for all my clothes. You can tailor the search to show the lowest-priced items first. You can also search for "free shipping" items.
In the girls' section many sellers list "lots" of clothing. You can get them for a song. I buy most of my bottoms (jeans, capris, etc.) on eBay. I just bought 2 pair of camo capris in smaller sizes (nowhere near a 0, but I'm still thrilled!) & I paid about $8 each pair including shipping. Love them!
If you have any questions about the search on eBay, let me know. I don't have any items up myself right now.
