Has anyone else had this issue with getting rid of clothing?
I have been so excited every time I have gone down a size and I have steadily given away and taken my clothes to consignment as they become to large. However, now I am in sizes on bottom and on top that I have not been in my entire adult life. It is time to get rid of the size 14 pants and x-large shirts and I am struggling for some reason. I keep thinking, I should hang onto them in case I regain some and need to go back into this size. The only thing I can think of is that I have never been in a 12 or size large top (since high school) so I can't comprehend that it will last. Any advice? Should I hang onto the clothes or keep getting rid of them with the hope that I won't regain and need them. I keep thinking this weight loss has to stop at some time.

Zig Ziegler would call your desire to hang onto your clothes "Stinkin' Thinkin'"
YOU are going to stay on plan.
YOU are going to get smaller.
What do you need these bigger clothes cluttering up your closet, mind, and motivation for?

I would get rid of them. I've never been smaller than a size 11 (juniors) and that was when I was in 9th grade. I am now a size 2. I would consider keeping a few pairs of pants that are one size up, but get rid of all of your clothes that are several sizes up. You don't want to "plan" to be bigger again!!! I think it makes it easier for you to get off track if you "plan" to have a buffer and "plan" to have bigger clothes. I am 27 months out and a huge part of my motivation is that I LOVE my clothes. I would be SO SAD if I couldn't fit into them anymore. I really enjoy shopping and clothes and wearing trendy things, and it's been so freeing being able to shop wherever I want and buy anything I want.....freeing....and expensive!!!
