What do you do with your "fat clothes"

akrzyzewski

Take at least 1 crappy outfit, if u have 1, and burn it. Seriously

Give them to your jealous "fat" friends, who did not support you during this process ))))) I've read that happens a lot, so don't get mad, get even

hehe, I had one person make catty remarks about my weight thru two babies & afterwards. Is currently unaware she has my nine months pregnant hand me downs... (which I think she has outgrown) thats what I call karma!

I gave a lot away & put a few of my nicer work outfits on trademe (like ebay)

I put all of my huge-*kitten* jeans and oversized shirts in a garbage bag, then set the bag aside for later. When I've reached my goal, I plan to take 'after' pictures with them held up to my waist and whatnot. And maybe keep 1 or 2 pairs behind beyond that point to remind myself to NEVER let that happen again...

I cleaned out my cupboards and closet last weekend and donated three garbage bagfuls to the opportunity shop. I held on to a couple of new, almost new items and am now trying to sell them on ebay.

Last time I gave some clothes to a friend she was offended that I thought they would be her size. She thought she was so much smaller than me. I had the last (quiet) laugh when I noticed her wearing them later.

I gave my to the 'donation' box down the street. It felt weird, because I had a LOT of 'fat pants' and a bit scary. But today I tried on the remaining fall-back pair I kept and even they are way too big ... so, they are going to the bin too.

I think not having any fall-back is keeping me on my right trajectory ... but now I do have to go shopping because I don't have but 3 pairs of dress slacks for work. (Good problem to have actually).

Additionally, my suits need to be taken in (scary ... is this real? did I really do this this time?!? ... yes I have).

I am donating them b/c I never want an excuse to go back into those sizes.

To me, though I support the salvation army and the goodwill, and understand they need to sell the clothes to raise money....I would rather give them to people who need it and have no money to buy them. The last few times I have donated clothes I dropped them off at a domestic violence shelter and this local organization/shelter for kids who run away from abusive homes. The way I look at it is that they probably left with little to no clothes and they really need some help.
Just sayin

Casual clothes I sent to a shelter. My business suits and skirts I had tailored down.

It felt good to go shopping again in my own closet. I have also noticed that shirts (XLs) don't fit me either and even underwear (sorry if that is TMI) ... I've actually gone down a size in all garments. I don't want any reminders of my fatness, so even my good stuff is getting the boot.

Many of my clothing aren't really going to be functional for someone else. I've been a tshirt and jeans type girl but right now I'm living out of 2 sweat pants because not much fits. ARGH!


If you have nicer labels sell them to help fund smaller stuff. Give away to charity shops or churches usually can find some good new home for them.

I've also seen people make quilts out of them and more recently I seen a way to weave rugs out of shirts using a hula hoop on pintrest. For those that want a visual remembrance of where they were without the letting themselves go because they have the clothes that will fit.
