mourning the loss....

Of my clothes...
So i finally gave in an went through all of my clothes.. so i will stop wearing things that fall off my a$$ at the most unappropriate times..   all in all ended up with 2 huge garbage bags of stuff some brand new to give away to a friend of a friend.. least they are going to good use 
i found a basket worth of new size 2X clothes i forgot i had so i have clothes to last me till atleast winter  but yeh anything over 3X i got rid of... since 3X is lose on me now.. bitter sweet.. had to get rid of some things that i loved... but found some great new stuff i forgot i had...  dont ya just love cleaning out ur closet???  

I just gave away alot of 5x clothes. The person who got them was so excited-those clothes are expensive. I've been finding treasures in the laundry room that I "forgot". I wore a 3x button up shirt last night and it fit fine.
Congrats to you..Debra

 yeh alot i gave away were 4,5,6 x i was hanging on to and still wearing.. so i had to get them out of the house.. an ur right bigger clothes are uber expensive... the woman thats getting mine said its like christmas...  i found a brand new nightie thats silk non stretchy 3x that was to big on me.... but made my day  am gona sew the straps so it will stay on an i can use it for a few months 

As bitter sweet as giving away your clothes is,  I wish you a lot of fun buying new stuff in SMALLER SIZES!!!!! Keep up the good work.

It must be so hard to see all the things you love to wear leave.  but must feel even better to be able to get smaller size stuff.  I am pre op and have only lost 15lb so far but cant wait till i loss more

give it time u will i cant stress enough the importance of measuring urself..  because as we start to lose weight an gain more mobility an do more we gain muscle an the scale doesnt always move in the right direction.. but clothes will begin to get loose.. and ur right it does feel amazing to be able to wear clothes from a normal store like walmart instead of having to buy out of catalogs or online or even having problems finding anything that would fit at a point.. keep up the good work.. an remember nothing will ever taste as good as feeling healthier feels..

I enjoyed "shopping" in my own closet as I first started losing weight.  Now I am wearing a 16 and have to buy all new clothes.  Oh poor me!!   Now I go to stores and hit the clearance racks and refuse to spend more than $5 or $8 for anything.   I have gotten good at it.  Cato's is a favorite, as are Ross and Marshall's.  Clearance, clearance, clearance.  
We also have a clothes closet through our batriatric center where we can drop off clothes and get new ones.  Consider that if your area has one.
