Clothes purge!

[DaisyAmy 561]

So I just went through my closet and purged EVERYTHING pre-sleeve. (Except one reminder outfit and a couple sentimental things)

I literally have nothing from my past that I can wear. I am about a size 14 right now, down about 100 pounds and still in process. I haven't been a size 14 since school - and that was more than 25 years ago!

I have donated about 20 bags of clothes!

But I did keep my old HS jacket!!

It feels so freeing to be rid of all that old baggage!!

About once a week or every other week, I just try on everything...make a pile to donate and then pull out my bin of "not there yet" clothes and see what new things I can move in to my closet. Then I go shopping on thredup and get some new "not there yet" clothes.

Congratulations DaisyAmy! Great Job on your weight loss and your purging of old clothes that are now too big to wear. So many benefits and so many fun experiences as a result of your commitment and hard work! You go girl!

I am a big believer in dumping everything ASAP. It puts you in a mental place where you can't go back. I dumped all my heavy clothes gave the good stuff away, trashed the rest.

I go through and purge my clothes every 5-10 pounds.

I feel like the best way to move forward is to never look back.

That sounds like a fantastic feeling! I love the image of shedding all those layers of old clothes along with the excess weight. You're kicking butt and it's an inspiration.

Good for you. My closet is basically empty right now. I just got rid of another bag of clothes the other day. There was a pair of jeans I bought and never even wore...which kinda ticked me off that I wasted the money.

So now I'm in clothes limbo...I can finally shop in whatever clothes store I want, but because I'm still losing weight, I don't want to bother spending money on clothes.

The funny thing is, I would've killed for this problem 7 months ago, now I'm kinda annoyed by it!!

I know!! I literally have zero long pairs of pants. I'll have to get something to wear to work when the weather changes!!

I wonder how I will part with some of my favourite things. Has anyone made new clothes out of old? I wish I could sew.

Feels good to get rid of all those big clothes and actually buy clothes that fit not just what ever you can fit. Im in the process of buying new clothes I just have a couple of shirts and three jeans that fits!!

Well done all. Must feel great. I'm due for my op 9/13 Clothes down sizing is one part I am looking forward to! I have a wardrobe of clothes that don't fit many new designer pieces. My first goal is to use them. Then bin them and buy some more. I like wearing suits and can't wait to wear a special one I bought but have never been able to wear. Big motivator!

Congratulations to you all. I am still pre-op but losing enough to start purging out clothes that do not fit. It is an amazing feeling to know I won't be going back this time.
