Redmaxx 740 Posted February 1, 2017 Will whomever keeps putting the size 36 waist pants back in my closet stop it! It seems like I go through my work pants every week and remove at least one pair of 36" waist pants (I wear a size 32). Who keeps putting them back in there????????? 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armygalbonnie 643 Posted February 1, 2017 Doesn't it feel amazing to get rid of the "fat" clothes? I've been giving Goodwill bags full. The other day I found more size 16s and I'm a 12/10 now. I don't want that negative talk in my closet. Congratulations on your success!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BayougirlMrsS 3,934 Posted February 1, 2017 @@Redmaxx Good for you .... Every time i went down in size, i cleaned out my closet and brought it all to a local second hand store (not goodwill) Now my closet only had 4 & 6's in it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summerset 5,265 Posted February 5, 2017 I packed a whole bag a few weeks ago. I started a new bag recently. However, I not only put clothes in there that are too big. I also put clothes and shoes in it I haven't worn in ages, e. g. I put some gloves and hats in there I no longer wear as well. 1 Redmaxx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agirlhasnofluff 57 Posted February 5, 2017 I just moved from TX to LA, and we're still in temporary housing. When I packed, I threw all my dress clothes in Rubbermaids and brought them with me to temporary housing. Some mornings, I grab 3 pairs of pants before I find ones that will stay up. Yesterday, I finally started going through the Rubbermaids and tossing out anything over a size 14 or an xl shirt. This means I'm now down to what clothing I've purchased since moving to Louisiana! All that space those Rubbermaids took up in the car was wasted! Doh. Ah well. Live and learn. Now to find the local salvation army to donate all those clothes to!

Or, donate to a shelter. I stopped giving to salvation and goodwill after i found out how they handle things.... I rather give to places in my community.

Salvation Army is actually a very good, reputable charity. They give back to the community and invest in actually helping people. Goodwill, however, does not! Salvation army is the only one I donate to, but I'll look into St. Vincent. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julie norton 2,850 Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Although we all choose who our donations go to , it is worth considering it they help your community. I happen to donate to a give back thrift store( $250k back to community organizations thus far) and animal help resale. But I do not choose to donate to some religious charities that are anti GLBT.
