OT: Does anyone else have an article of clothing...
...that no matter how much weight you lose, you just don't see yourself giving it or throwing it away?
I was just folding up a load of laundry, and for some reason I was looking at my sleep t-shirts. They are at just the perfect state of comfortableness (is that even a word??) from so many washings that even though they are raggity and will engulf me eventually, I will keep them.
I feel so "ahhhh" when I wear them.
So who here has some comfy item (socks, sleep shirts, sweat shirt or pants...) that you just have to keep?
Just curious...

I have a raggedy T-shirt of my late brothers. HIs death at 44 of obesity related heart disease was a huge trigger for me to have surgery. The shirt is a 2x - when I got it, it was too small, as I was far more obese than him (how scary is that?).
I lost a bit of weight pre-op and wore it for the first time ever the day before surgery even though it was skin tight. Now it's a big baggy thing - I'm a large on the top (huge bottom half). But I cannot imagine the cir****tances under which I'd stop wearing that shirt at times when I wish I could talk to my brother.

Highest weight: 335 lbs, BMI 50.9
Pre-op weight: 319 lbs, BMI 48.5
Current range: 140-144, BMI 21.3 - 22
175+ lbs lost, maintaining since February 2012
I kept one shirt from my pre-op days. I remember the day I bought it I was in tears. I was going to a holiday party and spent hours shopping just to find something to fit. It was from the Avenue and a size 30/32. A year after my surgery (and 175 pounds later) I tried it on a cried again because it came to my knees and looked like a very large dress.

I still wear my 2X Tshirts...I'm wearing one right now. They are for bedtime and lounging though, not public. I really hate feeling constricted so I still like my big tshirts.
I have a pair of my old pants that I've been keeping, mostly cause I thought everyone kept one pair of something, but I don't really have any attachment to them and I'll probably eventually get rid of them when I need the drawer space.
