Confess - how many different sizes have you had in your closet at 1 time?

I am dealing with saying good by to some regain and had the pleasure of putting on a shirt I had not worn since my DH got sick....  It made me realize I had collected several sizes again, something I swore never again.

Pre-surgery I had sizes from 16 (never was small) to 32. Yes folks 32.  Try being short and fat! It's not pretty  Once I lost weight I had small and x-small and jeans were 1's and 0.  Yes you read that right. I didn't even know they had sizes that small.  Kept it off for years and then due to some life challenges I started putting weight on again.

My closet still has my 0 and 1's (not sure I will get back there again) but my biggest was size 12.

What was the size range in your closet at one time?  When you start to get rid of your clothes be sure and do a clothing swap at you support groups and or donate to fellow weight loss members.  It's expensive and saves us money as we blow by those big sizes 

I currently have sizes from 8-24 in my closet.  I'm pre-op VSG and already down about 20 pounds.  I put on a shirt in a smaller size this morning and it fit nicely. 

Little things make me happy. 

Hi Landy,

GREAT JOB on your weight loss!  

Is that not just the most amazing feeling?  I have my jeans organized bases on sizes. Once I move to the next size that big butt jean is out of there 

Lol! 

Pants in my closet range from size 24 down to 10. Tops range from mens 2x down to womens medium. Right now I'm wearing a womens xl & large top and a 14 or 12 pants. I'm glad I kept most of everything during all my yo-yo weight loss & gain. I haven't had to buy a single thing so far. 

Hi rachelp,

Don't laugh but I went out and bought red hangers to put my big sizes on and as I moved to a small size got rid of them.  I have to confess I didn't go through my closet until 2 years after reaching goal. No matter how great we do we still have our insecurities to work through 

That's actually not a bad idea. I periodically try on items that are still to small and hang them toward the front of the closet in my "should fit soon" section.

great idea with the different color hangers... gonna have to co-sign on that one.

What a great idea - I think I will go through my closets this weekend and do that exact thing!

How many did you remove? I love it when we fill garbage bags full of big clothes
