kyeta96 50 Posted February 23, 2013 Have any of you made plans on how to.handle the clothing as we shrink? I have to say, that's a concern for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parker 11 Posted February 23, 2013 Have any of you made plans on how to.handle the clothing as we shrink? I have to say' date=' that's a concern for me.[/quote'] I've found a tailor near me for my better clothing. Beyond that I plan to limit myself to wearing my tent size clothes and possibly hitting up the clearance racks at Walmart occasionally. I've heard of others going to goodwill for the in between clothes, but I'm not sure i can handle other people's clothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like your tailor idea specially for jeans. Target if you have one around put good clearance racks, some even for like a dollar something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

busybeingme 112 Posted February 23, 2013 Have any of you made plans on how to.handle the clothing as we shrink?I have to say' date=' that's a concern for me.[/quote'] I have sizes from my last failed diet... Currently in size 24 3x-- have clothes to fit me down to size 16 1x... This last regain of my weight I told my husband I'm not giving one thing away! Now I'm going to pack up all my big clothes as they become too big and donate them to charity. I know how it feels to be big and not be able to afford clothes... I'm gonna pay it forward. also I'm gonna fill in the gaps in my wardrobe with goodwill and thrift shop clothes until I get to goal. Not buying new clothes I'm only gonna wear for a short time.... The only thing I'm gonna have to buy is new bra's!! That is exciting because I have been buying the "box bras" as I call them for some time because my bra size is 48 or 50 C cup. Not a typo... C -cup. I have one B and one C.. So yea picture that.... Sorry.. Tmi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
