highfunctioningfatman 2,675 Posted January 2, 2017 I wanted to do this New Years Eve but I was unable to, I did this New Years Day instead. I've been donating all of the clothes that I no longer fit except for the ones that had my company logo on them. I decided to wrap up our Christmas tree in the old clothes and torch it in the front yard. There is no way that I'm going to be wearing those sizes again! As it burned I danced around it screaming "my clothes, my clothes, my clothes are on fire. I don't need no Water let those M...........s burn! Burn M..............s burn!". If you are close to my age you may recognize the slightly different lyrics to a song from The Bloodhound Gang. Not the genre that I prefer but the song was appropriate for the situation.

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted January 2, 2017 Whew! What a relief to click in here and see that you're talking about clothes. The topic title had me worried that we were breaking up. Big clothes, big fire. Hot times. In your yard, I mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be disappointed when you go to the dressmaker. Most things can be taken in up to two sizes if that much. After that, all detail is lost or completely misplaced. .

melunruh 91 Posted January 3, 2017 I LOVE this! We remodeled our master closet this weekend where my poor hubby had to make me see that over half of my clothes are hilariously big on me. Poor guy didn't realize that would mean he'd have to sit through a fashion show of everything in the closet! Lol Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App And the desire for a shopping trip.

Aggiemae 739 Posted January 3, 2017 I am saving stuff made of high quality fabric and things that I can cut down myself. I have a beautiful size 24 black velvet opera jacket that I plan on turning into a knee length coat if I can find matching black velvet. My old adjustable dress dummy only goes up to size 16 I'm in a 20 now but look forward to sewing some altered formal wear. I think the kids do call this "up cycling" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
