What are you doing with your "FAT" clothes?

I work in a little convenience store so all my customers have noticed that I'm losing weight.. I have several tops already spoken for by a few different customers! They check my progress by how loose "their" top is on me and let me know when it's time for them to take it off my hands!!! Most of these ladies have been all up and down the scale and have some stuff from their smaller days and are happy to share what they have too so everybody wins!

I have a sister who would fit many of the clothes I'm getting rid of now. She's much younger than me and she's always been smaller than me and I don't want to draw any attention to the fact that I might be smaller than she is. It just seems so unnecessary.... If I have an especially nice article of clothing that she hasn't seen me in (we live in different states) Then I'll give it to her next time I see her and tell her that I picked it up at a thrift shop for next to nothing and it was screaming her name. I already did this with an expensive coat and she's none the wiser and she loves the coat!

Anything that doesn't get snatched up by my customers or that isn't appropriate to give to my sister, goes to the local thrift shop.

I donated most of mine. Kept my fattest fat jeans. Was going to make a quilt out of them though. Turning the clothes I wore because of the comfort food I ate into another kind of comfort. But I can't sew. lol

Most of mine are super worn and have holes in, or stains from colour or bleach from when I was doing hair. I have one pair of size 18 jeans I hold on to to hold up to my current ones to remind myself of just how far I've come. other than that, when they get too big and worn out, I tend to bin them. Even if I were to donate them, they're not in any condition where GW or anything could sell them.

Speaking of... I've a closet to go through... I just remembered most of my shirts are officially too big. I am keeping a couple of shirts for when I get to my goal that I'm going to tailor down (like the one I have with a picture of a bunch of vampires stealing from a bloodbank that I find entirely too amusing to ever get rid of). Everything else MUST go. I refuse to get back into them.

I used mine when I was pregnant I just had my baby yesterday and am back in my less-fat clothes but still 7lb away from my pre-baby weight. I'll slowly loose the rest and probably will donate those clothes soon. It really felt great to wear my fat clothes at 39 weeks pregnant and they fit

That's what I plan on doing as well. They will probably be comfy postpartum as well.

I've gotten rid of most of them. I held onto some "in case" we decided to have another kid and I might need transitional clothing, but since then I've decided I am going to give what's left to my friend who is super broke and losing weight and in my old size now!

Just wondering what you are doing with all your "fat" clothes? One of the best part of a healthier lifestyle is getting to buy newer smaller clothes, fitting into things that we wouldn't have thought about twice of buying X numbers of lbs ago.

Me personally once Ive completely out shrunk a piece of clothing I either give it away to charity or bin if not suitable to give away. I don't want to keep any of it apart from 1 item to remind me that this is how you use to be dont come back here.

So what are you thoughts?

:flowerforyou:

I started taking it to Goodwill in the beginning, but then my gym would host a clothing swap every few months so I've started to do that. It's brought us together as a community. I swear, my friend Angela owns half of my old wardrobe now. Hoping next time I have even more to offer her as we both keep shrinking!

i fashioned a large sail, and am actually in the middle of the pacific on my journey around the world!

the wifis out here are PHENOMENAL!

That's because you're piggy-backing the signals from all of the broke down Carnival Cruise ships stranded and adrift.

you hush.

now get back below deck or i'm gonna make you swab my mast again.

I give mine to a friend who is also losing weight.

I got rid of mine. Even though there were a few things, such as tops, that probably still fit, when I wore them, I still felt fat, like I was seeing the old me! YUCK! So, everything new, and a couple of purses and earrings and bracelets, etc.
