Closet.............went there today...........whew!

Okay, this is a success to me as I have been avoiding my closet for probably coming upon a year or two now. I have clothes in there from when I was wayyyyy skinny on up until not so skinny but not like now as I refused to buy more clothes, only what I needed to survive. Today I braved it and found clothes from size 6 up to one piece of my highest 17/18. I was wise enough to know there are some clothes I "may" eventually fit in BUT if it's a size 6, am I saving it to set myself up for failure as I was in those clothes as a result of takiing prescription diet pills and living quite haphazardly............so I kept some 8's, 10's and up............a milestone for me as most of the clothes I was hanging onto are not even in style anymore and/or not really appropriate age wise :laugh: . I showed my bf one pair of shorts and asked him if a child had left some clothes at our house :laugh: :laugh: they were mine at my extreme lowest and very unhealthy so they're gone!

That's my song and dance so I got three huge bags for the Vetrans to pick up. I figure if I do get lower (and will but maybe not to unhealthy numbers as I did in the past), I may want to buy some new stuff just for fun! I did not however get rid of the suits I have not fit into for some years, I'm hoping to work my way back into a few of them..............thanks for listening!:bigsmile:

you know I still have a huge bag of size 14 and 12s to give away, and I just cant do it! I went to a 10 and am rounding the 8s and still............I hold onto the past.

I actually thought about sending you a PM from another post you'd put up that was very inspiring. While did give some of those little ones out (you know the ones that were REALLY small even for that size....?) I had no problem getting rid of that one 17/18! :bigsmile: I actually am not sure why I kept them at all above hoarding because I haven't used them since I did Nutrisystem in 06 and haven't went back up that high again. I guess I kept some of them the bigger ones even when I was small cause of fear I'd go up, which I did but I surpassed them.. I guess baby steps.............

You know I cleaned out the closet a few years back and I threw out all of my smaller clothes that I couldin't wear anymore, so I am going to have to buy all new ones when I get to my goal size, if I had been smart like you I would have kept some of them.

Nothin wrong with buying new ones either!:laugh: Plus in my case it's doubtful I'd be wearing the spandex dresses anywhere:laugh: :bigsmile:
