That is the question. It is Spring cleaning time and I am going through my closet, struggling with the decision of whether to get rid of the size 16s that are starting to bag. A couple years ago I lost about 25 pounds (unfortunately they found me, along with some friends) and donated all my 14s, only to find myself wishing I had them now.

    Lose them, they'll go out of fashion anyway, so someone might get the benefit from them now while they are still not too dated.

    Charity shop, swishing/ swapping event, or a woman's shelter.

    I know you probably posted this topic with this title to get people to look at it.. and while I am not one, it could be triggering for those struggling with bulimia

    If they are classic styles that don't go out of style keep. If not donate.

    purge them! 1) you don't want to be that size again correct? so it doesn't make sense to keep clothing that you hope to never fit into again, by keeping them you are in a way telling yourself that you will need them some day.

    but you won't... you lost the weight and this time you won't need those 16 agains! great work and have fun shopping for some new stuff :)
