SAY GOODBYE NOW!

People told me to shop second hand stores till I stabilized but I tend to learn better through experience. I lost inches at a different rate than weight this time and I breezed from 42's to 36's in around a month. Therefore, I purchased a pair of 40x30 jeans that haven't even been worn yet as well as a pair of 38's.. Hmm....I'm thinking "I WILL NEVER LOSE PAST 36's", but I've been proven wrong before.

Be careful! That's what I thought about size 8's. Now I'm in 4's.

Jean, thanks for the article! It is hard to throw clothes away, but it can be a very good symbol of your confidence that you’re NOT ever going to fit in those huge sizes again! Hanging onto the old, too-big clothes can be a sign that you’re worried that you’ll be back up there again. Many of us who have yo-yo dieted in the past can really be afraid of doing it again now.

Thanks also for those four questions. They help make the issue more objective so there’s less debating about whether to throw something away.
