NSV - shopping in my closet!
on 1/6/16 3:30 pm
Just before Christmas, I remembered a beautiful wool sweater my son and DIL bought me years ago. It fit at that time but was snug. I soon outgrew it and had to put it in storage.
This year I got it out and though it was just a bit too big, I wore it proudly during our Christmas visit with the kiddies. There are a few more even smaller-sized clothes waiting for me, too. I plan to fit into them by summer.
Good for you, yesican.

Hi Becky,
That is so awesome!
I had my surgery on 12/3/15 and I am where you are at now. I never threw anything out since size 16. I just put them in boxes on the attic, hoping one day I'd be strong enough to lose weight and wear them again. I am now doing a lot of "reversed shopping" in my closet as well!
I was a size 22-24 but now I am close to an 18. I lost 30 lbs in the first month and all of a sudden old pants fit, shoes that were too tight fit again and it's like I have an entire new wardrobe without leaving my house.
In a few weeks we're going shopping again in our closets, seeing if we can find more "new" old clothes!
