Spring (closet) cleaning... Is it a bit premature?

[illion 0]

As the warmer weather arrives, and after losing 20 lbs, my clothes are getting baggy! Is it a bit too soon to start tossing the "fat" clothes? I hope I'll *NEVER* need those again!!

Heck no! Ditch those babies. I'm having a yard sale in a couple of weeks to ditch mine!

Congrats on the weight loss!

heck no! Chuck them out - but don't forget to keep one as a "reminder" of your journey. My fattest "fat" pants I have kept and I wrote across the ass in a big sharpie FAT PANTS

I couldn't drop mine off fast enough at Salvation Army

Mine are going to St. Vinnies. Every couple of weeks, I drop a bag off there. I'm replenishing their Plus section:)

I have a kinda different situationf or the same question. I am not yet banded, but will be over the summer. Is it too soon for me to get rid of my super-sized winter clothes?

I spent ton of money going from size 24 to size 16. You need to clean out your closet and get rid of the fat clothes. Even if you are only down 1 size. Good job!

Lol. this past week I made nearly $120 off of 28 shirts that I'll NEVER need to wear again. Sell those FAT clothes and make room for the new SKINNY wardrobe you'll be needing soon!

Bag 'em and get rid of 'em!! I always second guess myself and leave something in my closet then the next time I try it on...it's wayyy too big!

Wow... we should start local "swap shops" with other bandsters for clothes! As we go down a size we could pass them along to the others a size above where we are. Just think about how much money we'd save until we got down to our goal weight!! Anyone need some 18's?? *lol*

Of course, part of the fun of losing weight is going *SHOPPING* for new clothes.. I can't wait!!!!

Thanks to all who've responded. I spent 2 hours tonight closet-cleaning. "Helping Hands" will benefit from that. :tongue_smilie:

Just think how much more room we'll have for our skinny clothes! Woohoooo! You can get twice as many in the same space!:biggrin2: I'm going to finish cleaning out my closet this weekend!

I am getting banded April 30th and everytime I get dressed I think, I won't be wearing this next season! I CAN'T WAIT!!! am I getting excited way to early? It makes me feel like a kid waiting for her birthday! I have 4 different sizes of jeans and jean shorts under my bed waiting to be worn again! (bathing suits too)!

I have heard of a charity that helps women find jobs and dress for the interview - anyone know what the name of it is? I have a whole closet of work clothes that will need to go (I'm a SAHM and want to pass them on b-4 they go out of style)! When I do go back to work, they won't fit! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats to all of you who are currently doing your spring cleaning!

I just put boxes in my car and I'm going home to box my clothes, mail them to a friend (she wants them) that is (was) my size. I have some that my sister gave me, but I have to have her permission to give them away. Now, the best part is that I have a friend that got a lapband before me and she's giving me her clothes as she gets smaller. Yeah for me.:smile:

I wish I had a LB Buddy who had surgery a month or two before I did! :smile:

Trust me, it has very good perks. She has been sooo generous. That's why I decided to give mine away instead of selling them. I am buying real cheap until I lose most all my weight. Glad that summer is coming and school will soon be out.
