All my clothes over size 20 (up to 24) that is ;-)

6 weeks out, down to size 18 - thankfully can shop in my closet! Got rid of the clothes like I did the weight. Made me feel like I lost 10 more pounds, lol. Will NOT go back!

Keep one pair of your heaviest pants...someday it will make you feel really good when you need an emotional lift! I took a picture the day before my surgery and kept the pants that I was wearing. I can now pull them on over another pair of pants without unzipping them or anything.

I have donated everything else though. Like you, I have no plan to return to my original size.

BRAVO! I know how good you feel!!

About 3 years ago I bought a couple pairs of jeans that were on sale. They were really tight, but I figured that I'd drop a few pounds and they'd be fine. Well, THAT never happened & I forgot that I even had them; gained more weight blah blah. Tomorrow will be 7 weeks out for me, and last week I saw those jeans hanging in the closet & decided to try them on. They fit perfectly, and they are ALSO as size 18 - yeah! Like you, I will continue to shop in my own closet, as I have everything from a size 22 down to a size 6. Although, it is not my goal to get back into a 6 anymore. I'll be perfectly happy at an 8-10.

Good for you.... I LOVE reading these stories!

Isn't that the most awesome feeling!!??

As others have said, keep one pair of your largest pants so you can try it on throughout and see how far you've come!

Got weighed this morning and went clothes shopping in the closet. Tossed out any shirt that was over a size 17 and a few pants that were over 40. Hope to clear the next load in about 30 days.

I must be insane, I still have an emotional attachment to all my clothes. Not having a lot of money I hang onto something until I literally can't wear it anymore. The one exception were the beautiful clothes I wore as mother of the bride and mother of the groom. I donated those to charity because I would never wear them again and I knew some plus size lady would appreciate them. I spent a lot of money on them and why have these gorgeous outfits just sit in the closet?

Anyway, getting back to my emotional attachment, I will eventually get rid of them.most of my clothes are classic not fad styles and a lot of my clothes go back as far as 25 years old. It's time to move on, I know.

Donated a lot of my clothes to a local church tonight - feeling good but I still clung to some of those pieces that have seen me through thick and thin :)

I am trying to purge the closet by only buying when I give something away but it is so hard!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
