Daily Post--Fri 5/2/08
Yes I did...it was take one year pictures in them on my anniversary which was 1/31/08 and I still have not taken pics in them yet....but I am getting closer to get those pictures taken and then I will give them away. It was a only a few outfits that I had pictures in pre op and wanted to have the comparison shots. Other than that..I gave all my fat clothes away and boy did it feel good.
I kept the outfit I wore to the hospital on surgery day - it was always one of my favorite! Months later, my daughter found them in her room (don't ask - her room looks like a cyclone hit it!) and wrote a note that says "Soooo proud of you!" and put them in my room... that felt good.
I also saved a shirt that has embroidered butterflies on it - my nephew (who's now 6) used to love that shirt when he was a baby - he'd touch it and say "BFLY" whenever I wore it - and I cried when I tried to throw it away. I kept the shirt that I wore to my daughter's graduation - another old favorite of mine.
I thought about cutting them all up and making a quilt, but honestly - I don't want a quilt made up of bad memories. So they're hanging in my closet (it's a huge walk-in, so there's plenty of room!), and they'll probably always be there.
Everything else I have given away through the years and aside from these few mementos, all I have in my closet is a size 8 or smaller.
