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.0

Awesome! It's a great feeling to go "shopping" in your own closet for smaller sizes!0
-
Way to go! Yes I have a skinny box, I'm happy to report there isn't much left in there.0
-
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!0
-
yup ... gonna give it till may June time see if the fit0
-
good for you! that's a great feeling. I have a whole chest full of jeans!! gosh I can't wait to get back into them!0

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.0

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!0
-
No.
I have a wardrobe full of them and wear them everyday! :bigsmile:0 -
That is so awesome! I have quite a few tubs of skinny clothes that refused to get rid of. I can't wait to share in your enthusiasm.0
-
I have a "skinny end of the closet"! Can not WAIT to be back in them again! I have a pair of jeans inthere that are almost brand new since I bought them a WEEK before I found out I was preggers LMAO0
-
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!0 -
I did have a box of skinny pants but now i am wearing them! I was dipping into a friends stash for a while but that has dried up too so i guess i now have an excuse to go shopping!0

Went shopping today, was in changing room and saw self in mirror. For the 1st time in months I started to like what I saw!0
-
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..0
-
I just opened mine on Tuesday! It was sitting in my closet for ten years, and now they all fit. Such a great feeling!0
-
Way to go! I do have a skinny box of clothes, I have a few boxes of skinny clothes I cann't wait for the day for me to be able to wear them all again!.0

THIS! I have rediscovered stuff I forgot I had... it's like running into a long lost friend and reconnecting!0 -
For many months, I did have a pair of jeans in the drawer that I wanted to fit into. I'm wearing them today.0
-
That's fantastic. Well done you!0
-
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.0
-
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!0
-
I do! Or did... I shrank out of my skinny box altogether.0

I gave away all my skinny clothes to Goodwill but that's ok, I will buy a new wardrobe when I'm done!0

Oh I do! I'm getting into those clothes these days and it's made me so happy! Can't wait to shrink out of them as well!0
