Daily Post--Fri 5/2/08
I have one pair of pants...wish I would have saved the ones that I had on the day my surgeon took my pic. I have given most of them away to goodwill, and received a nice tax write off for my efforts. I will continue to clear out my closets and donate the clothing. I have also given some of the sweaters and coats to student in my school who is very large, and very poor.
I had a closet full of clothes ranging from size 10 all the way up to size 20! Gradually I have been getting rid of these clothes as I get smaller. Now I have shopped when there were fantastic sales going on and added to my closet again so it still remains full. Sometimes I have a hard time getting rid of something.....like special outfits that were so pretty or expensive but the times comes when it just has to go.
I kept one pair of pants for comparison purposes only. I just cleaned out my closet to bring the spring/summer wardrobe in and get the fall/winter out. (My closet is small so I actually have to physically switch the clothes between my bedroom closet and one in a spare room each season.) I only put three items in the spare room closet from fall/winter, two items I recently bought this year and those size 22 pants. Everything else is being given away. I have very little spring/summer clothes either, so I will have to watch for sales and add to what I have.
