STAYCATION

Starting this past Friday I started vacation. Not going anywhere, but have some projects around the house to get done. Today I organized and cleaned out the closet. I got rid of some ripped, stained and out of date clothes. I also bagged up my clothes this past winter when I was at my heaviest. I put away 3x shirts and 46 waist pants. Now what do I do with them? They say you should get rid of your big clothes as you lose weight so as to give you an incentive to not grow back into them. I have yoyo'd for many years and have XL shirts and 38 waist pants that I get slim down to before I have to start buying new clothes. My cheap practical side says to keep them. My partner says keep them a year and then get rid of them.

 

Also this week I have my pre-op testing and my psyche evaluation. They are going to introduce me to my pre-op medifast plan this week and let me know how often I have to go in for weigh ins. I hope to get a few bike rides in as the weather permits.

Just yesterday I cleaned out my closet too. I bought some storage bins and filled them up pretty quickly with my bigger clothes. I'm not getting rid of anything just yet, they're already stacked in my garage. When I lose more weight, possibly pass the 100lb milestone, that's when I'll get rid of them. But for some reason, can't right now.

Uhm you can always buy new clothes. You bought the ones you have now right? I say toss them.

Ok I made a decision. I used the vacuum storage bags and put them away. My partner's family is coming to visit from Colombia for Thanksgiving. His step uncle is a large man and we will send the clothes to Colombia for him.
