My wife made me go through my clothes to get rid of my oversized clothes this weekend. I was more than happy to donate but had a problem getting rid of my new and almost new ( some still had the tags on them) expensive suits, slacks, and shirts. I had a wave of what if I regain the weight I lost- what would I have to wear? My wife kindly said, you have not cheated, drink only Water, and exercise like a maniac. So how is that going to happen? I then got into it and donated the clothes to the Veterans Administration, The Red Cross, and to a local Dress for Success chapter for lower income men looking to enter the workforce.

All are great causes, but it was still hard getting rid of items I never or barely wore 2-3 times. Has anyone experienced this or am I being crazy?

Well.. I tore my favorite shirt yesterday. I had to laugh because I didn't know how I could part with shirt after losing weight. The shirt can't be repair.. And I put in the trash. Funny how things work..

Mother bought me an Italian wool suit for my birthday last year, I only wore it four times. She was ok with me donating everything but the suit she bought me. I had to put it on to show her how big it is on me. She said maybe a tailor can alter it for me. I told I could buy a new one for a little more but will take it for a quote. She is having a harder time than I am getting rid of it. I told her someone less fortunate will benefit from the gift.
