When did you get rid of clothes?



Recommended Posts

It is a big cleaning day at my house today. I am considering getting rid of some of my summer clothes that should not fit next year.

So those of you have been doing this longer than I have, is this premature?

Right now things are loose but serviceable.

I am planning on keeping enough to make it through, what I hope will be, a long warmish fall.

Every single time i dropped a size. So I was donating clothes weekly or every 2 weeks for months.

I do not keep clothes that are too large. It is just subconsciously giving yourself permission to regain.

I am constantly cleaning out my closet. I have a bag always in the closet to put stuff in for goodwill. In the past 4 months I bet I’ve given away 10-12 bags of clothes!

I just cleaned out my closet again. I have 6 storage boxes of clothes ready to be gotten rid of, but unlike those of you in the US and other western countries, my options for getting rid of the clothes here are pretty limited. When I have some time, I'll photograph most of them and put them up online to see if there are any larger women living in this area will want them.

I am 2 months out and have already bagged 3 bags of clothes and taken to Goodwill. It is fun to see how many clothes don't fit. I've lost 53 lbs so far and 25 inches overall. I'm in xl now and have some larges waiting in the wings.

I get rid of clothing as soon as I can't wear it anymore. I have no plans to go back up in sizes so I can't waste space in my closet saving clothing I will never wear again.

As soon as I went down in size I gave my friends and family my bigger sized clothing.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
