I'm still a few weeks out from my banding and, as I was doing laundry today, I started to wonder what I would do with the summer "fat" clothes that I will be putting away for the season. Should I keep them, just in case.....or should I show my commitment and belief that this time I will get the weight off permanantly by getting rid of them.

If you're waiting to be banded, what do you plan to do with the large clothes once they no longer fit.

If you're already banded, what did you do -- keep or toss/donate/sell?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Oh my Firechic-----that is too funny. I agree with you 100% that is definitely something I would enjoy doing as well!!! :blushing::thumbup::smile2::thumbup::wub::thumbup::eek::thumbup::eek::thumbup:

Ticker Test!

Ticker Test #2

I have a coworker who makes jean lap blankets and backpacks for wheelchairs for the VA Hospital. She gets my jeans..now what to do with the others, I haven thought that far. I am down 22lbs and still cant tell any difference. Soon I hope.

I'm keeping 1 pair of jeans from each size I go down. It'll make a great picture - then they're history!!!

I donated all of mine to the Vietnam Vets. You just call to schedule a pick-up and then leave the stuff in bags or boxes down by the curb or on your porch. Easy peasy!

I got donated all of my 22 and 20's, leaving me w/ only 18's in the closet. Now I'm down to size 16 and had to buy two pairs of pants and a new bra. If my weight doesn't shift down soon, I'll need to buy at least one more pair of pants because two just isn't going to cut it!

I donated most of mine to Salvation Army about three times...Hit goal...thought I was done losing...donated...down another size and donated again. Some of my "special" peices I gave to some LBT online friends that were a few months behind me.

Wow... I had another thought for my used clothes I think I will cut them up and use them for car rags, I really can get some coverage doing that.

Im planning on giving mine away to the Salvo's or similar... but I am still imagining being able to do it! I have only ever given away the smaller clothes, felt sad that I didn't get there and decided to stop living in the past and focus on the future - how great it will be to go shopping for new clothes because the old ones are too big!

YOU can do it! Focus on the future, as you said. Yesterday was my 1st bandaversary, and I did it. I am now in maintenance, believe me, loving life, and clothes shopping. Good luck to you, too! Karen(kll724):wink2:

I said 'get rid of them' and I really hope that I will do that. I find though that I continue to wear them now even though I'm swimming in them and my skinny clothes from years ago were never given away. So, who knows really?

I told my husband I was going to take my most faved fat outfit and get it framed like women do with the pretty little baby dresses!

CalicoskiesNC, That's a good ideal to have a beautiful outfit place in

in a shadow box. I may try that my self.
