New pants!

T0RIEELIZABETH

So, since the first of december, I've officially lost 14 pounds, and 2 pant sizes (which puts me from a 16-18 to a 12-- which are a little snug depending on the brand). I was going to wait until 20 pounds to go jean shopping, but according to my mother, I need to go now, lol. So platos closet, here I come.
Anyways, so here's the big question.

do I sell back ALL my big jeans and put the past behind me? Or do I keep a pair to remind myself of how I was and never want to be again? What did you guys do?

Keep a pair, and every now and then put them on. It's a great ongoing motivator.

I got rid of my big clothes. Keep an old picture of yourself to motivate you. Getting rid of my old clothes keeps me from letting myself gain. If the new pants get tight, I have to work harder.

Congrats!!!!!!!!! I've also gone from a 16 to a 12 again. I got rid of the 16's, but kept my 14's just in case. I may at one point get rid of all but one pair of my 14's, but I haven't decided.

Not trying to be pessimistic here, but my sister-in-law joined weight watchers and lost a bunch of weight, gave all her clothes away to goodwill, and then slowly put the weight back on. She eventually had to buy a whole new wardrobe for her skinny self, and then her larger self, again. It cost her quite a bit of money, but... it's got to be whatever helps you to be motivated.

And great job, by the way

This post reminded me to try on my old jeans that used to be super tight. I left the zipper zipped up and the button fastened, and just slid them on no problem like they were baggy sweat pants This is what I mean by motivating you.
