cleaning out the closet

Its official! I went through my closet this weekend and anything in a size 3x was pulled out!
 
I filled two garbage bags of clothes. These will be saved for a clothing exchange and then off to garage sale or donation.

I got rid of my fat jeans- the stretchy kind that accommodated my big ol' stomach, and my regular size 26 jeans.

Any of my shirts that read 26- 28 from Lane Bryant are into the bag. As i said if it was a 3x its gone, and that is including my men's shirts that were a 2x.

I've got a ways to go but its a unique feeling that i can fit into a regular XL shirt.

So this has me thinking what has made others happy to be able to toss out of the closet?

I still love finding that regular mediums fit . . . I still tend towards large and x-large though.  We'll see what happens after plastic surgery next month.

That is a great victory. Celebrate! For me, getting rid of any pair of pants with an adjustable waist was huge. Plus being able to replace the clothes from almost any store. I brought 6 bags to the thrift store that supports the local AIDS clinic and non-profit health center which was great too.

The need for new clothes is one of the most expensive and funnest side effects of the surgery.  I went through four wardrobes before I stopped losing.  Lucky for me, the year that I was losing (2007) Goody's and Steve & Barry's were still around.  The ironic thing is that I sent all of my fat clothes to my poor relatives in the Philippines, never to see them again.  Now that I live here, I get to see my relatives in ridiculously oversized clothes and have a little chuckle.

Cheers,

Chris
