I keep stuff. You never know when you may need it. But I try to follow the rule "if you haven't used it in 5 years throw it out." So 3 months ago I decided my walk in closet was to crowded. I figured I would never be skinny again & threw out all my clothes under size XXL. You know the "one day clothes". One day I will wear it again.

Then I saw the "sleeve" on Dr OZ & now on July 26th I have my surgery.

Should of kept the clothes....

But just think how hot you will look in the current styles of your NEW SMALLER SIZES!

Be glad you tossed them because shopping is so much fun now even when it is just at Goodwill! . I am buying t-shirts and jeans there since I am just passing through these sizes and it still gives me a thrill to try on something and find it is too big! Good luck with your surgery.

Might end up buying my old clothes by mistake. Better take the wife with me.

LOL that is too funny. But just think, what if you had not thrown those clothes out....you might not have seen the surgery.......or had it. It was meant to be. :wink_smile:

I did the exact same thing, and my surgery is scheduled for July 26th. I don't have any clothes that are even tight now,because I had given in to the fact that I wasn't going back down and most likely was going up. Gonna have fun shopping! I am ready to walk in the closet and not have anything to wear but feel good about it instead of the discouraged feeling I know so well.

Might end up buying my old clothes by mistake. Better take the wife with me.

lol Yes! You probably should if you are anything like my man! First step to recovery is recognizing you have a problem....hahahahaha

Good luck with your sleeve Papa Jack!

I went through my closet about a year ago and did the same, gave it to my friends and even a family member starting a thrift store. Here I am scheduled for 8/8! But guess what? My daughter is my goal size, so I took some of her clothes she wanted to get rid of and hung them in my closet for when i get there!!

Papa Jack,

I think we have all done it one time or another. Maybe several times. Usually it was me losing down and saying I'd never go back up...OOPS. Think of it this way....maybe it WAS meant to be (like someone else said) ....purging your closet opened up a new mindset and avenue for you to think about the sleeve. Kinda like when people are trying to conceive....a lot of superstition about not having anything for the baby while trying. Good luck! I go 3 days after you. Make a path for me so my way is easy going would ya!

You will go through sizes so fast it wont bug ya that you threw them out. I can't stand clutter and am the anti hoarder lol. If all else fails....TOSS IT OUT!
