Did you keep a "before" outfit?

I cleaned out my closet yesterday. It was a NSV for me, after losing almost 60 pounds I was still wearing my "before" clothes. I was hoping for that moment when you raise your hands and your pants fall down, but I guess because all my clothes were knits with elastic waists, they expanded with me when I gained weight and contracted with me as I have been losing! So back to the closet.... I had saved a bunch of clothes for years hoping to have them fit when I lost weight "some day". I tried a bunch on and expected them to not zip, and boy was I surprised when they fit and some even looked good! I spent the rest of the day doing 6 loads of laundry since the "new clothes" had been in a dusty closet for at least 3 years. My question is to those folks who have lost a significant amount of weight. Did you save a "fat outfit"? Something in your top size to help remind you of where you started? I'm trying to decide if it is worth it, or if I should just ship them all off to the local charity and be done with it. Any insight would be most appreciated!

I just can't seem to get rid of my big clothes.. I have packed them up in a bag and asked my husband to put them up in the loft. Physically dropping them off somewhere.. No I haven't been able to let go yet. Maybe it's partly because the last time I lost weight I got rid of them all, then when I gained the weight back, I had to buy all new big sizes.. Even bigger than before.. Maybe it's in my subconscious. I shall work more on that when I have my hypnotherapy. Letting go...

Yup saved my biggest size made to order cargo pants...the biggest thing i ever owned!!! Just a constant reminder " never again " !!! i had a hard time letting go of my old clothes...but i packed dm all and gave them away!! like i said "never again" shall i need them!!
