    I used to keep my fat pants, but since then have ditched them. I now only keep one size up. I know if those are fitting too tight I need to start working my way back down. I don't ever want to be a size 24/26 again....currently a 14/16.

    Sold most of my clothes in garage sales .... well my mom did for me :) she's awesome!

    I kept one. I like to get them out every once in a while to keep me motivated. Every other piece of clothing that was too big I have given away. I do not want any "just in case" clothes. I'm NOT going back!!

    Someone posted on here a year or two ago that they did a ceremonial burning of their fat pants when they got to goal. I think that's an awesome idea and plan to do the same! I'll take that cliche pic then invite some friends over for drinks around the firepit and burn those babies!

    OOOH i like that!! thanks for the idea!

    Depending on how fat the pants are... If they're much larger than you, toss them away! If it's just a size or two bigger I'd keep them. I had only lost one pants size, and I am still young and still haven't been pregnant. I know it's very reasonable I would wear them again. But if I had been bigger and lost a great amount, I'd throw them away and never look back!

    I have kept my biggest pair of jeans, top and workout bottoms and have given away the rest to local charities. I actually love putting on my old pair of jeans from time to time to remind me how far I've come, definitely a good pick me up if you're not having a great day!

    You should burn one pair just to celebrate your success !

    Keep one pair as a reminder of how far you have come - but make sure they are no longer "wearable" so that you are not even tempted to go back to that size ever again! (Like, make a hole in them somewhere!) Great job!

    The original post was prompted by a "fashion parade" on Sunday. My other half insisted on me trying on the entire wardrobe. Very critically we decided on
    Keep to wear now
    Far too big - get rid
    Keep for a few more weeks - slightly tight.

    We then, for fun started me in his clothes, and I inherited a load of casual stuff that he has slimmed out of.

    Ok i get a new (to me) wardrobe, he gets to purchase new stuff .....Bit I have a say in the choice cos one day soon they will become
    All big stuff now with hospice shop, except one fat jeans (42) ad one fat tea shirt (3xl UK fit)

    Bonfire planned when I hit the 80 lb loss - the point when BMI reaches "normsl"
