Clearing Out The Closet

When did you start getting rid of your clothes? Sleeved 9/5 down 2 sizes but still afraid of letting go. Thinking about all the times I failed and want to hold on just in case.

  • Immediately. If it was too big it went straight to the Goodwill pile. I did not find any 16s pants in my closet. I must have gotten rid of them in a mad fit some time back. Have a dozen size 14 pa

  • Actually, you may want to keep one set for the before and after picture once you succeed in hitting your goal. And you will succeed. Burn the rest of them.

I have so been there and done that.....

It took me a long time to get rid of my clothes and one day, I just decided to do it.

I love how spacey my closet is now.....

I actually have a lot of room....

Also only buy clothes that I really love....... :)

I know, right?

How many times have I successfully lost the weight and put it right back on and then some? But then...all those fat clothes bore me!

Get rid of them! Donate them, sell them, whatever you choose. Use it as even more determination to not gain any weight so you don't have to buy more clothes. Being overweight gets expensive. :)

You got this!

Immediately. If it was too big it went straight to the Goodwill pile. I did not find any 16s pants in my closet. I must have gotten rid of them in a mad fit some time back. Have a dozen size 14 pants but they are still a little tight. Hope I pass through the 16s fast!

I too am down 2 sizes and have taken my clothes to a consignment shop. You are never going to be that size again so why keep those clothes!! Don't keep the clothes, they will only clutter up your life.

When I noticed clothes got to big, I moved them to a bag. When I got a bag or so, I took them to a charity. I took a lot to my face-to-face support group.
