I purchased a couple new pairs of jeans yesterday- they are a size I haven’t worn since my early 20’s. I’m hesitant to purge and get rid of my clothes that are too big for me. I think my history of the yo-yo weight issue has me scared. What to do? I’m not ready for a whole new wardrobe until I get to my goal weight.

I took a few of my nice button up shirts in to have some alterations done. I’m unsure as to how they will turn out? Crossing fingers hoping I can salvage a few things. I’m not sure I’m interested in investing in a whole new wardrobe until I hit my goal.

@Jess9395 I'll eyeroll with you. One day I caught one of my favorite outfits going out the door on my daughter.
"Woah Missy", I said " If I have such horrid taste in clothing, why are you wearing that?
Her Answer "Because I can rock it, in a way you can't! Grrr!

I have gone from a size 28/30 to a size 22 in the pre op phase and have been purging as I went. I am certain I will not be back there ever again! I also live in an apartment and don’t have space to keep things that aren’t useful.

Surgery date is 8-22. Will start pre op diet 8-6. Have been cutting down and find I have lost a few pounds already which brings me to talk about clothes. I’ve done the Yo Yo thing all my life too, have a collection of different sizes.

I REFUSE to keep such a collection any more. I am and will continue to dispose of clothes I can’t wear anymore. I will borrow clothes, buy at Goodwill and discount stores just what I need and just a few things at that to get by. When I’m at my goal I have permission to SHOP SHOP SHOP LOLOL!!

Best wishes to all and keep sharing ?
