I didn't have the heart to get rid of some shirts



Recommended Posts

I was going through my clothes, I used to be a 24W, 3X and I was putting them aside cleaning out my closet, etc. I'm a L and 12/14 now. I bought a bunch of shirts less than a week ago, so I set aside the ones I really loved and didn't want to get rid of. Now I'm on a sewing project, bought a sewing machine and resizing the ones I love. It'll take awhile but well worth it to me!

How rewarding! I love to sew, but I don't care so much for alterations. However, I have been able to put off buying a ton of stuff in the middle sizes by doing some alterations to my clothes.

I posted last year about how much fun it was to take some of my old shirts and letting the girl freind know, it was OK to just rip this off me if she wanted to. It turns out, that is something she has always wanted to do. ;-) So let the buttons fly on those you don't want to alter ;-)

There are shops on etsy that will turn your old t shirts into a quilt. I am doing this with my 40+ t shirts when they are too large.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
