Thread: a ? to all that are losing weight

Okay how many of you are afraid to get rid of your big clothes now that you are losing weight? How do you get passed this. I have alot of clothing and I am a bit afriad to get rid of it because I might need it again I know that is horrid but there is that in the back of my mind saying you just might need those again some day. I do not ever want to gain that weight back I want to keep it off so how did you get passed this point?

I wished I had that problem, good job on loosing your weight. I would just pack them up for now and store them, untill you decide you want to get rid of them.

I only am keeping a couple things I really liked and the rest I am getting rid of! I dont ever want to wear them again and having them there makes it too easy.

I've gotten rid of some things, but not 100%. I'm not yet to that point.

A good friend gave me two of her dresses on Friday - I call it Julie's Shop.
It's really great to get nearly-new or just loved clothes.

Congrats on the weight loss!

I would keep one out fit and it will remind you of what it used to be like...and that you dont want to gain it back..at one time I lost 80 lbs and I gained it back once I got sick. but I would look at that outfit and say I never want to get that big again..I have lost 10 lbs just since going to the dr. 3 weeks ago..and so I have lost a grand total of 16 lbs.

I don't have a weight problem but I would get rid of the too big clothes. Way down the road they would be out of style or the wrong color or something so you wouldn't want to wear them anyway. Think positive and towards the future, to a new and improved and healthier you Congrats on the weight that you've already lost and good luck in the future

I went though my clothes the other day and I got the really big one's out of my closet and some of them that are getting that way I have them sitting in a cornor of my room but some of these I just bought and some of them still fit because I had lost a little before and gained it back so I couldn't wear them funny how you wont let go of the one's that are to small because you might get back in them but you have a hard time with the big ones for the same reason I think that I am going to just bit the bullet and get rid of them I can always get more. after all I do work in a used clothing store.

Marcia,
get job I am proud of you!

Get rid of them...you will have more incentive to keep the weight off...

I suggest you get some pants in a size smaller than u wear now. You will feel great when they fit.

Another tip...keep wearing zip up type pants. You will be able to tell if you are gaining if you have trouble with the zippers.

Good luck....I am so glad I can fit in 14/16 now... Shooting for someday size 10-12...but happy...a little loss will make you feel great...just 10% can help your health...

Be happy!

Okay I am going to do it I am getting rid of these clothes so I will posting them soon enough starting with the really big ones that I never want to get into again and then those that are a little to big and then I will be getting into some smaller and I will get rid of the one's that fit now I am going to do it!!!!!!!!
