I'm getting ready to move at the end of the month. Was going to wait another 10 lbs to purchase new clothes but have found that 85% of my clothes are not only too big, they are WAY too big, especially the tops. I have gone from a 2x to a medium in 2 months! Crazy bc I was thinking the weight was coming off slowly, but I am shrinking somewhere I guess. Like most, I had closets and trunks full of clothing of all sizes. I have had to git rid of almost all of it. I broke down and went shopping bc I had to get some clothes to wear to work without looking like a hobo! It's nice to be able to buy clothes without great worry that "what if gain it all back". I feel much more confident that I won't need my plus sizes or "fat clothes" any more. They are gone!!

My first closet gutting was a strange and very emotional experience for me (and I don't do emotional lol!). I have ALWAYS kept my 'fat clothes' when I lost weight in the past. Almost like a safety blanket I guess, I always knew I could fit back into something if I gained some back. But the 1st time gutting my closet after surgery I caught myself boxing things up to keep (per the norm) and realized.....what the hell am I doing?! I will NEVER fit these clothes again....never. That was a real eye opener and it was very unsettling to let go of my safety blankets and take all of the oversized clothes to donation.

Now I just keep an ongoing box of clothing and add to it as things get too big and I do a happy dance. Not quite so devastating anymore :)

I have a laundry basket in my closet for items as I shrink out of them. I really want to fill it up! I'm slowly starting to add to it now- 1 month out today!

I have a friend coming over to "go shopping" in my closet before I donate to goodwill. I have 5 boxes of clothes to donate!! I had to buy jeans (all were too big) and a few pairs of black slacks for work cuz nothing fits. What a great problem to have but so much money down the drain!!

This afternoon I went shopping to my mothers closet she has always been smaller than me but I can wear some of her larger clothes now. so wonderful. it's great to have a mom is the same height as I am,but I've always been three or four sizes bigger than her and now I'm wearing her baggies I love it pretty soon I'll be wearing her regular clothes it's so nice to have gone down from an 18/20 to a 12/14. I can't wait until I'm smaller than her. :)
