Does anyone know how we can pass on our bigger clothes to others who are going through the transition and don't want to buy those sizes? Problem is, I live in Hawaii.....so to ship them to someone would be expensive. But I just went through a ton of stuff to day and there's some nice stuff in there.....

Thoughts?

Did you have your surgery in HI? Maybe your surgeons office can recommend something?

I am sure there are other bariatric patients in Hawaii....? Maybe a local post of craigslist if you have it?

you can look for a plus size cosignment store...I know there are a couple here in Houston...

If not check with the hospital or local bariatric surgeons - maybe you could offer it through a support group.

With the prices of clothes in Hawaii maybe you could get some of it tailored down a little so you could use it longer?

Try donating them to your local Goodwill. There are simply not enough plus size clothing at those type of stores. It would really benefit no/low income buyers.

All great ideas!!!! Simple stuff....I should have just figured it out.....weird, it's hard to part with some of my things.....even though they're huge; I loved them.....just part of the process I guess. The odd part is that after 60 lbs many of my tops fit great now (?) but my bottoms just fall off.....makes me wonder how tight the tops must have been before......

LOL!!

I for one have a great emotional attachment to my clothes!!! I shop a lot and I have tons of very nice things... I know where I purchased each piece and what I was feeling when I got it... It has been difficult for me to part w/ my things.... le sigh.... but, I can't now and never will again be able to fit them.... it's bittersweet for me... Does that sound crazy???

I know how you feel! But we both have to realize this does not make sense.....it's time to move on and I hope someone else will enjoy them......but I am hanging on to more than I should.....

Haha Queen of Crop, I know what you mean about hanging on. I just let go of my pink Nasa sweatshirt, my beautiful black leather jacket, and my pink UFO museum raincoat. I loved them so much, but looked like Edith Ann wearing her mother's clothes so they had to go.

I offer my too big clothes at my support group and then take what whats left to the Salvation Army.
