    Hahaha, I've just been talking about this. I alter what I can, but some things will look weird no matter how skilled or extensive the alterations, because they're tailored to a completely different shape than what I have now. So those that are still good but won't take alterations well get donated to the one local charity shop we have (that's actually for charity, not just secondhand). Some are saved for scrap fabric, or reconstructed if that's an option.
    I feel weird doing it, though, because it feels so wasteful to just get rid of things, especially those nice pieces that were expensive. I just hope the hospice people can maybe either make use of them or sell them in their shop.

    I gave my old scrubs to a coworker. I donated some outfits, but I also threw a bunch away.

    I did keep one pair of my "fat" jeans though...not really sure why, but I guess I use them as a reminder of what I don't want to be ever again.

    I donated most of them to an organization that sells used/donated stuff and provides help and jobs for mentally and physical handicapped children and young adults.


    I did have some pants altered to fit me but somethings don't turn nice after alterations and they end up costing more than buying something new on sale.

    I was thinking that I need to clean up my closet again because they are things that I don't wear anymore. I am retired so my life is simple and more sporty, no need to hold on to clothing that I will never wear again.

    So far donated about 8 bags to Big Bros/Big Sisters here in Tucson....they had sent out "I'll be in the area postcards" so I just figured it was easier that way. I kept a pair of (now) big jeans and have most of my tee shirts as they can be worn to sleep etc. I've got more clothing that I bought since losing the weight and they are barely worn so looking for a buy back type place for these items.
