hopeandfaith 6 Posted October 28, 2010 I want to know did anyone save their favorite pair of pants/shorts from before you lost your weight just to put on and SEE THE RESULTS? I maybe crazy but I want to save my favorite pair of capris that I wear all the time. EVERYTHING else will be GONE forever!!! LOL That way IF I have a bad day I can put them on and SEE THE RESULTS. I'm a visual person so I want to SEE RESULTS! I can't wait!! 1 mrspetendanbury reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffykins 673 Posted October 28, 2010 I saved an old pair of my fat slacks because I wanted to have this picture for the sake of being able to say I could this: Yep, that's me standing in one pant leg of my old pants ! ! ! I've since donated all my old clothes to the woman's shelter and Goodwill. 1 mrspetendanbury reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bona Fide Diva 3 Posted October 28, 2010 Now that I'm donating things. I must remember to do it. I just hold them up in disgust and put em in a bag right now. Way to go Tiffy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coops 1,790 Posted October 28, 2010 Hey, Hahahaaa... Tiff, that made me giggle... love it!! I too have saved two pairs of trousers ... one pair of 3/4 jeans that used to be snug and a pair of black linen work trousers... had to save these two items!! I too am a visual person and it does help me get through the harder times! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted October 28, 2010 Oh I wish I had done this! At my largest ever I had a pair of Navy Blue slacks - size 28W. They were even getting a bit tight on me even. It would have been nice to have them around for a little morale boost when the scale isn't cooperating. :-) I sugges this for anyone! Someday though I want to go into a store and bring a size 28W into the fitting room and see how it fits on me now. That would serve the same purpose I guess, since my pants are long gone.

MINI-Me 196 Posted October 28, 2010 I sure did ... What a pick-me-up when I start obsessing about the "non perfect" areas I still have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted October 28, 2010 I am wearing a size 8 now, and I just recently tried on the one pair of size 40x32 pair of jeans that I kept!! They are HUGE, they swallow me!! I am so glad I kept a pair. I also kept a size 18 dress!! It is something to actually see the extreme progress, the extreme change!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackBerryJuice 349 Posted October 28, 2010 No, my mother (who's the same size I was before the surgery) already got dibs on all my fat clothes....lol. Plus all I really wore at my biggest were yoga pants/capris and skirts with stretchy waistbands! I can still wear most of these 40 lbs down, although I think 10 lbs from now, they'll be way too loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted October 29, 2010 I am inspired by Tiffykins, she had her favorite blouse from before turned into an adorable little dress after. I have a gauze cotton tunic from Eddie Bauer in like a 3X that I'm going to have tailored when I hit goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
