Imlosing big 112 Posted July 12, 2011 My weight has fluctuated over the past six years I've gone from a size 9 in juniors to a size 18 in women's. So needless to say I refused to give or throw away any of those old clothes. With the sleeve that choice was the best one I have made. I have so many old clothes that are still in style I have not had to go and shop for any new ones. I am now down to a size 11/12 and I can fit some of those old 9's I have in my closet. I am so happy I always try to keep a goal pair of jeans that are one or two sizes below where I currently am. To have a constant visual of the effects of the sleeve.

GreenEyedMamma 5 Posted July 12, 2011 I fluctuated too so I have a bunch of clothes from like five/six years ago that I always said "one day I'll get back into these". Well, that "one day" is now. I am to the point now where I have to take my clothes in with my sewing machine. I refuse to buy a bunch of new things when I know they aren't going to fit me in a few months anyway. I did purchase a few pairs of jean capris to get me through summer. I bought them a little too snug so I can wear them until September. Good job on your progress. Keep it up!!!

Candace2314 117 Posted July 12, 2011 That's awesome! I wish I had kept some of my clothes from when I could wear juniors. I didn't so I know I'm already gonna have to shop for more clothes. My closet is almost empty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mommyto2 1 Posted July 13, 2011 I am regretting that I got rid of everything. About 4 months ago I got so frustrated with weight loss that I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to be able to lose it and keep it off. I was tired of having a closet full of clothes I couldn't wear and nothing I could wear. I cleaned it all out and gave it away! Now, I am anxiously awaiting my sleeve on July 26! I cannot wait to have a tool to help me lose this weight and keep it off. I wish I had seriously considered WLS prior to cleaning the closet out, but guess I am gonna get to do some shopping....

sasicas 194 Posted July 13, 2011 It does feel great to finally fit back into those old clothes, doesn't it? I have been wearing stuff that I haven't been able to squeeze into in 10+ years lol. Where I messed up was not realizing that I was smaller than I saw myself and blew right past a whole bunch of clothes that had been sitting in a box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
