NSV - hand me down clothes from my old self

Pulled down a box of clothes from my brother's attic. I'd stashed them there 3 1/2 year ago when I'd moved to his city. The clothes were too small for me but I hoped to lose weight and fit into them. I never did. Since then I moved back to my previous residence and kind of forgot about them. This past weekend, while visiting him I pulled down the box and was astonished (and delighted) to discover that 80% of them now fit, with a few still too small and a number of them already too large. This is outstanding! I'd forgotten these clothes, and some of them are really nice. And they are arriving just in time - I was on the verge of buying some clothes as I am finally shrinking through the ones in my closet and in the storage in my own home for "almost" fitting clothes. NSV, right? Oh - and as a bonus - the economy seat on the flight back last night felt comfortable! MFP has been a huge huge help.

    Hooray! What a great feeling. :-)
  • It's funny, I had a similar thing happen yesterday. I pulled down some old pants that haven't fit in at least three or four years, and tried them on--eight pairs fit! One pair was a little snug, but the rest fit nicely, and one or two were even a little loose. It is a great feeling.

    That is awesome! I cannot wait until I can hand me down some clothes from my old self. I have a rather large stash of too small clothes in the attic & in a drawer or 2 in my room.

    Thanks to all of you who commented on my entry this morning. It's certainly kept the happy feeling fresh all day!
  • That's awesome! Great NSV! :)
  • I have clothes that haven't fit in so long they went out of style and are now back in. Some even still had the tags on them! They fit now. Great feeling.
