NSV - My closets are almost empty



Recommended Posts

I recently decided if I tried something on and it was too big, I would put it in a bag and not back in the closet. As I was getting ready for work this morning, I realized I had very little to choose from. Guess, I'm going to have to do a little shopping. :smile2:

Seems like I've always been obsessed with that number on the scale (which moves very slowly downward), but now I beginning to see physical changes as well. I love my band!

That is great! I just gave 4 bags of clothes to my sister. We went shopping for some new ones. I was excited to fit into some petite 6's.

i NEVER thought i'd become a shopping addict. i've always worn baggy clothes and clothes that are black or brown. now i'm wearing form fitting outfits that are bright and vibrant... just how i feel!

I need to start cleaning out my closet. Maybe this weekend.

I have been holding off buying new stuff becuase I'm a "consultant" and I currently work from home. If I get an onsite gig I will have to buy stuff that fits.

I've always been a Yo-Yo dieter, so I've always kept my larger sized clothes knowing I would eventually get back into them. But I can tell this time is different, I feel different, my attitude is different, my mindset is different. So those larger sized clothes no longer have a place in my life and I've already thrown some out and given some away. It feels great to not look back anymore.

I was also a yo-yo dieter and had multiple sizes in my closet. It's great to know we will never need those bigger sizes anymore. It also makes it much easier to pull them out of the closet for good!

Last night I came to the realization that I need new clothes. I am still losing - down 40lbs, my clothes are hanging on me. I'm a nurse - so wear scrubs during the day - don't notice the weight loss much, its amazing how the scrubs hide it. I had changed into some shorts and tshirt to attend a meeting for my daughter - saw myself in the mirror and was alittle shocked - my shorts and tshirt were so baggy they looked awful. I'm trying to hold off until the weather changes before buying more clothing - live in North Texas & we are still having 90+ degree days. Even tho my clothes looked awful - I'm loving the weight loss!

Congratulations!!! It's such a great feeling!!! I recently went form being able to wear blue jeans everyday at work to business casual, so I had to buy some new things. I have found a lot of new things at Sears in my area. I bought 3 shirts and a pair of pants for $29 this week. I don't want to spend a ton of money because I am still losing. I have found that tailoring is kind of expensive. Keep the momentum! :0)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
