    Trust me...get them OUT of there. No room to go back. Period. I've gotten rid of EVERYTHING that is too big. I keep a few things that are ONE size up and that's IT. :)

    I get rid of everything the second it's too big on me. Wearing clothes that don't fit makes me look bigger than I am, and they're uncomfortable. Besides, I figure there are women who don't have a lot of money for clothes who would be happy to find nice, gently-used clothes at Goodwill, especially since it's so hard to find nice things in plus sizes.

    Getting rid of my fat clothes also means I don't have a pair of jeans to put on if the current jeans are getting too tight. It forces me to get more disciplined and get control before I end up gaining again. In the past, I wore a lot of pajama pants and yoga pants since I worked from home, so I didn't notice I was gaining weight.

    I do have one pair of jeans and one top I'm keeping for my goal weight pictures, but they're so big now I couldn't even be tempted by them. There's no way I could wear them.

    This time I have gotten rid of stuff. I don't want to give myself the out of having those things around for "when" I regain...I refuse to be so fatalistic about it...I WILL NOT DO THAT! Most of my clothing is pretty simple stuff...lots of tshirts....but all the old 2X ones are GONE. I admit though...it is not easy to just get rid of perfectly good clothing.

    The logic of punishing myself for regaining weight has never appealed to me. Keep logging what you eat. Keep exercising. It doesn't matter if you throw away your old clothes now, or wait until later. Focus on the things that you need to do to maintain your healthy weight.

    If you're handy with a sewing machine, you can take them in instead of throwing them out. I had that problem, there were too many pieces I was emotionally attached to, so I resized them.

    Even if you don't sew, taking them to a tailor to take them in will still probably be cheaper than buying all new clothes, depending on how much weight you've lost/ still plan on losing.

    I did this with a few of my dresses; I had them tailored to fit me. I donated all of the others except one pair of pants. I keep a size 14 in my closet as a reminder of my journey. If I can fit into those pants I know I need to get back at it.

    Right and GOOD RIDDANCE!
    Get rid of it - it is not your identity and getting rid of it will help you move on and keep it off!

    I donated my "fat" clothes to Goodwill, and while I was losing, I often bought clothes there. Once I got to where I wanted to be, I went and gradually bought new ones. I couldn't afford a whole new wardrobe at once, and now I am at the point that I need to replace those because, after five years, they are wearing out. What an "awful" problem to have!!!! :wink:

    RIght!!!! I got rid of my bigger clothes last summer when I lost 36 lbs. I regained a lot of the weight but guess what? It's motivating me to get back on track because I DO NOT want to spend money on bigger clothes again!!!!!!!

    I only just got rid of my bigger clothes this last weekend. I think there was a part of me that was afraid of committing like that, saying that I'm never going to need them again. But now that they're gone I feel great!

    I don't think I'll toss them (except that 10yo pair of jeans that's starting to be really worn out anyway). Probably put them in a closet somewhere, well, at least some of them, and keep the shirts for PJs or something.
