Hey MFP Friends!
Today I took all the clothes that don't fit me to a consignment shop (and she took all pieces except one pair of jeans - yay!!!). It felt so good to pack up 14's, 12's, and 10's!!! I even sent one pair of 8's that are a touch loose in the waist - they technically fit, but I need to get in the mindset that they won't fit for long! It was less about the money (and I hope to make some cash!) but more about mentally (and physically) cleaning out the closet...
It felt so freeing, and so cathartic - I highly recommend it!
Get rid of your "big" clothes, and never look back!

I did that last month but kept one pair of my old jeans, so when I finally hit my goal, I can get one of those pics taken showing me in my "old me" jeans!0

I packed up about 12 pairs of pants a month ago and sent them to Kareninnevada......
So not only did I clean out the closet...I gave her a ton of jeans to wear as she is on the downward move! Then, when she hits her goal, we can both get together and BURN EM! :laugh: :laugh:
If you want to see a pair of my jeans, check out her new display picture....my jeans, her new butt.

who knew it was possible?!!0 -
Great post! :bigsmile:
The feeling of ridding yourself of the "old you" is quite rewarding, on many different levels.
Keep on keeping on people! :drinker:0 -
Hi
Good for you!
I posted on this site about my hesitation to get rid of my bigger clothes, but I did it (GULP)
I think it's a great step in the right direction!
Hope all is well on your end

I know the feeling!! YAY!!
I have a pile in my closet that keeps growing.
I am blessed with the Disabled American Vets who call my house once a month to see if I have a bag of castoffs ready for them to pick up at my house for their thrift store.:bigsmile:
Then, when I need to replace what I've outgrown, I go to them to RESHOP!!0 -
I took all my clothes and put them in the garage. I'm hoping they stay their. I was a size 11 one or two pairs of 13. I'm so happy I don't have to look at them everyday.0

HOW great is that?!?!?!? I love it Ali, and Karen you look TERRIFIC!!!!
Are you guys geographically close to be able to send things? I looked into sending some clothes to a MFP in PA and it was soooooo expensive!
Great idea ladies!

YAY! Good for you. I got rid of all my "fat" clothes a few weeks ago except for one pair of jeans and one shirt. I only kept them so I can see how far I've come when I get to my final goal. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0

Yeah, I should have kept one pair for this reason! I never thought of it! Even just to try them on when I feel I need a little kick in the pants!

Actually we are not close in location....I am in South Dakota and she is in Nevada. I sent about 12 items via UPS...slowest delivery I could get....and it was about $28. I figured that was a heck of a lot cheaper then her going out and buying a bunch of new stuff she would shrink out of anyway!0 -
It is wonderful. I am down 8 pant sizes and 4 shirt sizes. I even have several pairs of shoes that are too big now. I never thought my feet were fat too.
I now have a stack of receipts for the donations to charity. I kept one pair of the size 68 extra fat pants just to remind myself of how far I have come. They aren't really a 68 but they are 60s.
I can buy clothes at regular stores now.
I love it!0 -

THAT IS FAB!!!!! YOU GO BOY:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I had piles upon piles of clothes building up on my bedroom floor, that I had to get rid of. There must have been 4 LARGE garbage bags of sweaters, pants, shirts, etc. I brought them to Goodwill except for 4 pairs of pants that I try on every now and then just to remember. And I will be taking one of those pictures of me in them with the waist waaaaaaaaay out in front.
I am loving all the new cute clothes that I am able to buy now! And I'm having soooo much more fun wearing them!0 -
