I didn't know what forum to post this in, so I decided to post it here. As a pre-bandster, I am anxiously looking forward to starting my new life! I can NOT wait!! For years I've been up and down in weight, bought "skinny" clothes that some years I fit in to and others I did. I always kept them so when I did fit into them. Well, after years of hoarding these "skinny" wordrobes, today I decided to take the bull by horn. I decided that it was time to throw out the OLD "skinny" wordrobe- not because I am not going to fit into them, because I know I will, but because I don't want the go back to that kind of skinny... the skinny that stayed off only for a few weeks and then I went back up. I want to buy a brand new "skinny" wordrobe after I am banded... the lasting "skinny" wordrobe that will last me forever! I don't want to fit into my old "skinny" jeans.. I want my new skinny jeans... ya know the ones that I will always fit into! It felt so liberating to say "good bye" to my old wordrobe... 6 large garbage bags of clothes are now out of my closet. I have hangers galore that are anxiously waiting for my new wordrobe to arrive!!

I had to share what a magical moment this was for me today!

My closet was holding sizes 24 to 14. I have been getting rid of them so fast it's unbelievable. Getting ready to get rid of 18's. It's happening faster than I thought it would.

I kept one pair of 24 jeans just for comparison when I hit goal. Notice I said "when" not if.lol

This surgery is the best gift I have ever given myself and I' m excited for you to start this journey too.

Right now, I'm wearing my happy pants.

Best Wishes on your new life of health & wellbeing!

I admire your way of thinking! Job well done! You guys inspire me!

thank you all very much! I am in my biggest sizes right now, so I will keep those for sure when I start losing the weight. I can't wait to keep transforming my closet!!

I am not a saver of most things which I consider disposable so I love that you did this.. As I was losing I too had a few days of weeding out until finally one day there was nothing left.... It was the best feeling. And my skinny jeans I had from that minute in the 90s when I was thinner.... We're a size 14 so they are gone too.....

I did keep on pair of black shorts which I wore the heck out of rolled up in a bag in the back of my closet. They are sized 4x...and as I move thru this journey I will stumble upon them every so often and never forget where I have been.

Great way to make your own NSVs! Happy New Year!
