Getting Rid of Clothes

Did you get rid of/donate clothes that will be too big next summer? I'm having surgery in December, so my 6X summer clothes will be too big next summer (I hope). I'm gathering all my winter/spring clothes that I have in all my fat sizes, but would prefer not to store next summer's. Am I putting the cart before the horse and being too optimistic what I will weigh next summer? Thanks!

I would go ahead and get rid of them! Make room for smaller clothes!

As you loose weight, you should regularly try on your clothes and bag up everything that is too big for donation. I do this monthly. It is liberating and validates the decision you made to become healthier - a step at a time. If you try on one thing, or 20, or more...donate what no longer fits.

Ok. I have to confess that I have been storing my away. Just in case. I'm not sure why. Just can't get rid of them....

I can't wait to be post surgery, dropping weight, and getting rid of my fat clothes. 10 years ago I lost lots if weight and got down to size 6. As I've gained weight I've kept my smaller sizes. This week I've been sorting through and organizing everything. I have tons of size 6-8, a lot of size 10-12, some size 14-16, and a just a little size 18 which is what I'm wearing now. It's been fun going through clothes that I had forgotten about. It's hard to believe I once wore such a small size. I won't be keeping my large sizes. Can't wait to get rid of them!
