Did you keep or get rid of your fat clothes?

I donated them to charity. PLus it was taking up closet space for my new clothes that fit!

I kept my biggest trousers to remind me to the past. And it's good to have a spare tent lol

I also have a pair of my largest jeans. Size 24. They sit on top of my dresser to remind me where I dont wanna return to. Also, I need them so I can take one of those photos where you put on your biggest pants hold the waist out to show how much smaller you are.

I havent gotten too small for any of my shirts yet but I plan to get rid of things as soon as I can.

I keep all of my clothes that I can... I figure if I can't use them again then maybe someone else will be able to or I can just cut them up for rags if they go out of style.

I've kept one pair of my largest pair of pants to remind myself how far I've come.

Get rid of them!! Holding on to them as a "just in case" is not a good idea. It just gives you an excuse to backslide. Yes buying all new clothes can be expensive, but it's worth it and hey! you deserve it! let that be your reward

I have all of them!!!!! Lol!!! I went from a 24 to a 16! Whoo hoo! I am a performer, so I am keeping them as costumes. But I love looking at them and saying "Who's the fat b**** now?" I have 4-6 inches left and I am going to be ready for the summer!

40's and 38's are gone. Relaxed fit 36's are gone. Tight 36 (Wrangler and another brand) and 34's. I need to find a pair of denium 10's in ladies shorts that isn't up to my ***! I want something suitable for someone over 50 and that's NOT short shorts. I've still got the 2XL shirts in the closet but I'm wearing mediums most of the time. I haven't lost much in the super structure though. I'm still in a 40D.

Hell no! Those *****es are gone. I have no choice but to stick to my new lifestyle. No fat, no more!

Sell them! You will need room in your closet for your new stuff! It's a great reminder when your current clothes get a bit snug to pay attention again! Good Luck!

I lost 40lbs from diet and the gym and got rid of my fat clothes and bought a new wardrobe - (thanks to deals on line) big mistake. Unfortunately I stopped going to the gym due to work schedule and the weight crept back on - so now I have the most beautiful clothes that can't fit - I never thought I would regain the weight. I refuse to buy fat clothes so am trying very hard to get into my new wardrobe. Here's hoping MFP works for me.

I get rid of them as soon as they don't fit and have been replaced. I do have a couple things from my heaviest to remind myself of my progress and as a deterrent to slipping and gaining it back. While I know it may be practical to keep fat clothes it just feels like admitting eventual defeat.

Gone; slowly & steadily. Not going back there; no I am not!

I've gone from a 6 to a 16, and I have sizes all along the way! I really really want to shrink back down again, but I only have so much closet space, and cruel reality made me recently get rid of my 6-8's. Yes, I cried a bit. But if I can get back to a 10, it wont hurt so bad.

I got RID of mine because I refuse to ever wear mine again! Every year we have a "Family Reunion" yardsale and that's where they ALL went. I went from a size 22 (or bigger) to 8-10 depending on the brand. I still want to lose 10 more but it's becoming difficult - patience. My biggest problem is I have a lot of lose skin AND again it's PATIENCE. So to answer your question - GET RID OF THEM - say BYE BYE

I started at 3x tops and 18+ pants. I kept the one pair of pants and the shirt that are in my before picture so I can put them on for an after one. Other than that they go. I feel like if I keep them I am giving myself tacit permission to grow back into them. I have recently gone down to large shirts, but I have kept the extra large- sometimes I feel puffy and they make me feel more secure as I am just on the line between large and extra large. But once I am full on large, the extra larges will go too.

I actually kept the purple shirt in my profile and my drivers license. I dont know why I just wanna hang on to them. The rest of them I kinda wanted to burn but I decided to give them to charity instead ^_^

Honestly, I got rid of all mine and really regretted it. You just don't know what will happen - I fell down the stairs and had a head injury and regained nearly 30 lbs in total being immobilised on my back. I will get rid of the majority once I've finished losing it (again) but I will def keep just a couple of pairs ofjeans in case. I keep them separately anyway, so once my size 8s don't fit I know there is a problem!

I am now a size 6 to 8, and I have all these size 12 to 14 size jeans taking up space in my closet. I am donating to goodwill tomorrow!!! To make room for new clothes!!

I keep "one" size larger - in the case of surgery, bloating, or double dressing for warmth. Anything larger is gone. I did keep the huge sweatshirts (love snuggling in them whilst watching television on those real cold nights). I'm not giving myself any allowance to go back to those larger sizes. I used to and now, it just isn't happening. I donate them.

I keep one size larger, but only a few pieces in that size. I hate having unused items in my home so anything I don't use goes out.

GONE!!! I did have the last set of my "temporary" clothes folded on a shelf in my closet, but I just packed them up to go to Goodwill yesterday. I still need to go through my jeans and shorts, and then they'll be all gone. I'm only keeping pencil skirts that are one size too big (but I still wear them all of the time...they just fall a little lower) and some pants/skirts that are bottoms to some suit jackets that fit, so I need to have them altered. After one full year of maintenance and currently slightly below final "ideal" weight, there is no need to keep them.
