When do you get rid of clothes?

When did you all get rid of your old clothes? I feel like I'm a bit of a hoarder who needs mental help to get rid of my men's size3xl clothes when I now wear a men's size medium or a woman's size large. Any of you all have that experience as well?

I've been getting rid of mine as I go along - taking them to charity shops or keeping them aside to sell on ebay. I kept a couple of pieces of my largest size, just to remind me.

As I "under" grow my cloths I hang them in a closet for a garage sale this spring ?

Ha! This is a great thread. As I have waxed and waned through the years I never got rid of clothes because I knew my loss was temporary and I eventually would be back in the big ones. Then I got a lap band 10 years ago and thought it would be permanent so I got rid of all my big clothes. After 8 years the weight crept back on and I had to buy new big clothes. Now I've had a bypass and am starting to wear the smaller ones again I saved. This time I'm gonna trust the process and as I outgrow them I'll donate them to Goodwill. My uniform scrubs I will alter because I am NOT buying new ones--I'm technically retired, so I'm too cheap to spend the money on them!

I got rid of all my old clothes. I do not plan on going back. I can wear a size 4 now. However, I will not expect to stay that size. So I will keep the siz 8 to 10. I lost enough in case I gain the 20 pound average at year three. I am 26 months out.

I got rid of mine as soon as I started shrinking out of them myself. In the interim, I bought comfy workout clothes until I returned to work. Then I bought 4 pairs of stretchy pants a little small with tunic tops to wear over them so nobody could see they were a little too tight. But now I dont fit in those either lol. I just bought a new wardrobe of medium shirts dresses, and a couple size 8 Jean's. I figure I will stay in the medium shirts for a while, but I think I will need new pants soon

I donated all of my large clothes to charity. I am on my second round now and instead of donating, I've taken a few things I just bought to the tailors to be taken in. Cheaper then buying new. As I am still of a certain large size, goodwill and used clothes shops don't have my size still. I look forward to being able to shop their someday soon.
