Summer is over - packing away clothes!



Recommended Posts

I am putting away my summer clothes and bathing suits hoping I will never wear them again! I can't bring myself to get rid of them yet - I guess I still have my doubts about surgery happening (still waiting for a date) and my success. :-( What are others doing with summer clothes you hope will be way too big by next year?

I became addicted to Goodwill this summer and bought a bunch of "goal summer clothes" that are adorable. I can't fit in them yet (size 12/14 pants L/M tee shirts), but they are waiting for me for next summer! As for my clothes from this summer, my family says to burn them. They are so old and worn that no second hand store will want them!

I have some nice things - some never worn. I'll probably wait until next Spring and donate them. I bought a great pair of Seven jeans at salvation army that I look forward to fitting into them!

Living in Texas, I don't put summer clothes away as we never know if we will have an ice storm or a warm sunny day, and sometimes one right after the other. :-)

Don't give them away until you are ready. Maybe you will end up on a trip you don't know about yet and will need something!

I live in Florida, so summer isn't over yet for a few more weeks, lol, but I saved all my fat clothes. They are currently all in storage. I am 90% sure I will never wear them again even if I do gain weight because they are mostly old and worn out, but I felt like I was jinxing myself by getting rid of them. They are also probably a bit too worn to give to Goodwill and I felt wasteful throwing them out, so now they are cluttering up my storage unit.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
