Clearing Out The Closet



Recommended Posts

When did you start getting rid of your clothes? Sleeved 9/5 down 2 sizes but still afraid of letting go. Thinking about all the times I failed and want to hold on just in case.

I have so been there and done that.....

It took me a long time to get rid of my clothes and one day, I just decided to do it.

I love how spacey my closet is now.....

I actually have a lot of room....

Also only buy clothes that I really love....... :)

I know, right?

How many times have I successfully lost the weight and put it right back on and then some? But then...all those fat clothes bore me!

Get rid of them! Donate them, sell them, whatever you choose. Use it as even more determination to not gain any weight so you don't have to buy more clothes. Being overweight gets expensive. :)

You got this!

Immediately. If it was too big it went straight to the Goodwill pile. I did not find any 16s pants in my closet. I must have gotten rid of them in a mad fit some time back. Have a dozen size 14 pants but they are still a little tight. Hope I pass through the 16s fast!

I too am down 2 sizes and have taken my clothes to a consignment shop. You are never going to be that size again so why keep those clothes!! Don't keep the clothes, they will only clutter up your life.

When I noticed clothes got to big, I moved them to a bag. When I got a bag or so, I took them to a charity. I took a lot to my face-to-face support group.

Actually, you may want to keep one set for the before and after picture once you succeed in hitting your goal. And you will succeed. Burn the rest of them.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
