Having to ditch the bigger sized clothes!

BeyondApril

I started on MFP about 2months ago I think. I only wanted to lose 10 pounds, in preparation for upcoming foot surgery. This last 10 pounds really love me, since they find me over and over again, like a boomerang!

Well, when I pulled out my summer clothes, I just threw them into the bureau drawers because I was in a rush. Then the next warm day I grabbed a pair of capris that were my faves in 2006 when I went to Hawaii with my husband.

And they were so big in the waist! I even tried them with a belt, but they got all bunchy in the waistband and felt weird!

So that night, I tried a bunch of stuff on and.... they all left the house in the charity bags!!!

I didn't think I was that much bigger when I went to Hawaii, so I went into my pictures and started looking - and even my face looked bigger! I think I was around 140 at that time, but also was not as diligent with my ab work. Makes a big difference, obviously!

So, to sing the same old song, MFP works!!!

Sounds great!

It's so liberating to have the big clothes leave the house. I've decided to leave the empty space in my closet, rather than go out and buy new clothes. It's an effective reminder about how far I've come. Good for you in ditching the bigger clothes!
