Gave away clothes today!

[kparadisek 115]

I'm actually looking forward to having to donate my clothes so that I can clean out my closets. Granted I've got a few pieces that I will not want to get rid of but I know when the time comes I will have to because I won't be able to fit them anymore. I think that will help me tremendously when it comes to time to make the final cut. Good Luck!

I bought a few new pieces....not many. I am still losing....I want to lose 125 more pounds. I am only a little over 5 months out. I want to be at my goal by Oct 6th this year (my birthday). I am at a stupid stall right now....little mad cause I wanna move on down!

Am about five and a half months post op. Lost 95 but still need 100 more. I buy at Goodwill or clearance stuff. The new coats I bought at the beginning of winter are loose now & look stupid on me but I won't give them away now.

So I have had a bag of clothes that were too big for me....but I held on to them about 3 weeks after I bagged them up. I kept thinking "I paid a lot of money for those clothes' date=' I dont want to just dump them off at Goodwill". So I found a lady that needed them....and today she came and picked them up. It was with mixed emotions that I handed her that bag! It wasnt just that i was giving away clothes that I paid a lot for, but clothes that I wore because nothing else fit me! I was attached to them, felt like I needed them! So handing her that bag meant no going back! Now I have some smaller size clothes that actually fit me (for now) and I love the compliments! But letting go of those "big" clothes closed that chapter for me.... a little scary for me! But I feel so much better now that they are gone![/quote']

That's so awesome! Congratulations. I too went through clothes today. A little too early but noticed some just don't fit. I'm almost three weeks post-op and down to 268. Goal is 225 so I'm super excited for the loss so far. About 35 lbs since pre-op liquid Jan 7.

Wow you sound like me a few months ago. My surgery was 7 Nov and my weight was 291. Now 224. Just did a second purge last weekend of clothes. I laugh at some stuff I used to wear. HUGE.

That's so awesome!!!!!! I'm in a bit of a plateau for whatever reason. 265 right now. I had a blood clot post-op that has me out of work and a bit more sedentary than I prefer. It's in the abdomen area so they can't operate and it's quite painful when I eat/drink certain things. On soft foods now maybe that's why I'm plateauing. Will just need to keep an eye on it. Goal is 2-3 lb loss per week, but that's assuming I workout. Not doing that now as I said, which is a bummer. Hope to slowly start next week per the doc. Anywho... I'm rambling (probably the pain meds - haha). Dude, you are an inspiration :)

Went through my closet again....this time it was MUCH easier to let go of those clothes lurking around that I wanted to keep "just in case"...... There will be NO just in case this time!! I am doing this weight loss and kickin butt!! No more fall back fat clothes!!

I tossed that bag of clothes right in the Goodwill bin and kept going! Feels so wonderful to be losing this weight for good!!

Good to hear others stories about letting go too!!
