What do you do with your old clothes??



Recommended Posts

I have 5 huge yard trash bags full of clothes that are too big for me. Sadly, some still have the tags on them.

What do you all do with your old clothes???

you might check if they are any women's shelters in your area , like for abused women , it might help someone get a job to get back on their feet.

Hi Tulip:

We have a clothing exchange through our support group. I also have donated my clothes in the past. (I haven't lost enough weight yet to give any of my current clothes away!)

You could also do the garage sale thing. (Not for me, but if you have new stuff, it might be worth it)

We talked about doing a clothes swap on here - but it never got off the ground. You could post the sizes they are and the area you are in - then if someone wants them they could pay for shipping and a small fee for your trouble. I plan to do that when I get to that point. :-)

Over the past years I have donated a bunch of clothes to a local women's transition house - perhaps they have something like that in your area.

My surgeon has a local support group that meets monthly. I take my clothes with me to group and offer them up to people who are in different stages.

you could take them to a womens consignment store and either use the credit to get clothes from there in your NEW :eek: size, or you can take the cash from them. I plan to do that while I'm losing, just keep swaping out the clothes that become too big for me for smaller ones with my credit, and then when I'm at goal, I'll go shopping at my fav stores! :thumbup:

With me I donate most of the clothes that don't fit anymore. Although I still keep a few things just in case I gain/lose weight again.

We have a monthly support group meeting at a local mall and I take mine to give away there. I just packed up my box for tomorrow tonight... it's kind of freaking me out to have all of my "old faithfuls" going away. There are still some in my closet I can't bear to part with... but I'm working on it :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
