For years, I have "collected" various size clothes as my weight has yo yo'd over the years. And, as someone who hates shopping, this was just the way I chose to deal with having to wear different size clothes all these years. I literally had about 25' of clothes on hangers down in the basement ranging from sizes 8 to 26. I've had to go through my closet over the past year several times as my weight has gone down, but for some reason it has taken me until now to get the guts to really shed these clothes ONCE and FOREVER! Part of me is a little nervous to let them go for that fear of "what if".... but many of these clothes now are not in style, so its not all bad.

Anyhow, I got 8 boxes of clothes, work, casual, etc... shoes and such.... and they are now loaded in the car and I'm off to the Goodwill store shortly.

The ironic thing is I'm now wearing smaller clothes than anything I had down in my "basement store". I just can't believe I can wear size 4's!!!

That's an amazing NSV!! I hope you're keeping track so you can do the tax write-off!

Wow...that makes me wish I had calculated how much I would have had if they were all hung up!

I think I have gave away just about all hubby will let me give away, boxes and boxes and friends literally dropping buy and building outfits, lol...there is alot that had tags still on it, or just cost too much to give away. I now have to ebay them, lol.

Way to go!

Whoo hoo!!!!

Thanks guys, yeah, my car held all it could- so needless to say it was my 1st stop as i went about my errands. It was actually a freeing experience to get rid of those clothes now.

And, I sure did get a receipt for my taxes. Wonder what the limit will be on what I can claim- guess i will find out next Spring. LOL

What an inspiration!! I hope that I can do the same thing in a year (I also have quite the collection of clothing). Plus the fact that you are wearing a smaller size now than any of your old clothes!

Thanks for sharing.
