Who has that "skinny" box of clothes...

I'm finally starting to be able to dig into that box of "skinny" clothes that I put away so many years ago! It's a great feeling! I started out in a size 18 pants and yesterday morning I didn't have a clean pair of pants (because I'm down to only two that kinda fit but are getting too big). So I opened the box, took out a pair of 14's and voila, they fit perfect and after wearing them for a little while they were actually slightly big!!! I remember trying them on a couple months back and thinking...oh, it's gonna be awhile! Yay!!!

    I ran out of my skinny box and had to dip into my sisters. I was super excited...even though she has different taste than I do.

    Awesome! It's a great feeling to go "shopping" in your own closet for smaller sizes!

    Yes! I had one.... or three. And just this past week I was able to clean out my box of skinny clothes and move them into my closet. It was so freaking awesome!

    No box, they are hanging in my closet.
    Even when I buy slacks, they are the next size smaller.
    No weight loss, bare @$$ I think.

    I have one pair of pants that I loved when I was skinny and I have kept them all these years only because I wanted to fit in them again ONE DAY.... Well I am working on that one day it will take a while but when I fit in them again I will post a picture for all to see...I cannot wait for that day.

    I had that box of skinny clothes. I looked through it and realized that even once I would be able to "fit" into those articles of clothing I would not want to wear them because my style has changed so much in the last 5 years! haha I guess it gives me a reason to buy new stuff once I meet my goal!

    I have a wardrobe full of them and wear them everyday! :bigsmile:

    I actually can fit into every single pair of jeans in my closet now (even the "skinny" pair I've been holding on to for years). This morning, I put on my favorite pair of jeans, and realized that I had pulled them on without unzipping or unbuttoning them first. Woo-hoo!

    It's so nice to discover a whole new wardrobe that you don't even have to pay for. Congrats!:smile:

    Sadly no.... I donated my box. I figured "why get back into old jeans?" when I could just buy new ones and start fresh with my new body..

    For many months, I did have a pair of jeans in the drawer that I wanted to fit into. I'm wearing them today. :)

    Box? I have a skinny closet! Seriously I have two small closets in my room and I have filled the other one with the clothes that I can't part with. I refuse to go shopping and tell myself that I have a whole new wardrobe in 1-2 sizes down just waiting for me.

    I did and then they fit! A couple of years ago I had another box of super skinny clothes... I got rid of them thinking that there would never be a day and if there was then I deserved a whole new wardrobe. Well, I am almost there!
