I am curious. What is everyone doing with their fat clothes? In the past I always saved them figuring I "might" need them again someday. Now, I am giving them away. I don't them in the house at all. I saved one pair of pants & a shirt for reference but that's all.:thumbup:

Every time I move down a size I send the past to Good Will. I am sorry I didn't keep my biggest size but at the time it was a great feeling to let them go. Some of my clothes leave here barely worn, but I don't want to keep any "Just in case" clothes around!!! Good luck and I know you are fighting the good fight.

Our support group does a few clothing exchanges. While the RNY folks go through clothes a lot faster than me/us, I volunteered to be the collector, and whatever's left after each group exchange, we split the clothes between the Salvation Army and our local Women's Opportunity Center (that helps women who are going through divorces, fires, entering the workplace for the first time, etc).

It's like Christmas every time we do an exchange.

My support group as well, has a clothing exchange. I will be dropping some stuff off on Monday.

My friends all get together and do a clothes swop as we are all diffi.rent sizes. its great you get a good night out plus a new closet whats left goes to charty.

We have local charities here in the UK that post plastic bags through your front door letter box requesting old clothing. So mine all goes to a good cause

Some have gone to friends, some to goodwill......down 2 sizes.................feels good huh!

I have been fitting into clothes I have had in my closet from sizes 6 to 18 now in 14 or 12.

I get rid of everything, do not want to see those big things in my closet ever again!!!

When my kids told me I looked frumpy, I decided I had to give away the baggy clothes and get some new ones. My husband has a coworker whose wife is not working right now. She cried when I gave her BAGS of clothes, many of which were barely worn. She wanted to pay me something, but I told her to pay it forward some day when she has something that someone else will need.

I love the idea of a clothing exchange at your support group. Sadly, I can never make it to my support group as it's always on a night when I teach!
