How Much Do You Believe?

Got rid of them as I was transitioning seasons - as I go through my clothes I have a goodwill bag close at hand. No turning back!!

I've been getting rid of mine as I went along. Like some commenters, I didn't love the clothes I had when I was bigger, they were what was available, rather than what I would have liked. I tend to keep one size bigger, just in case, but if I wear them, I just get annoyed that they fall down or that they don't show off my new shape! It's expensive to replace as you go though- I've been selling my nicer stuff on eBay. I'm looking forward to finding out my final size, working out what suits me at that size and being able to invest properly in my wardrobe over the next few years.

I don't even like the kind of clothes I use to wear so it is easy to give them up. I use to never wear anything fitted and I don't think I have had a tshirt on since I lost the weight. I never wear stretch pants now, I wear jeans around the house so didn't mind giving them up. My shirts are more fitted, heck even my sweat shirts are fitted compared to big sloppy ones.

Gone, donated, sold, consigned, given to friends - OUT OF MY CLOSET FOREVER!

The moment they were something I would not consider wearing they were goners. It was my statement to myself of never going back. No "fat pants", no "slouch clothes" - even my gardening clothes went in the trash and I went to Goodwill and splurged a whole $5 on replacements - IF I couldn't find suitable replacements by raiding my two son's closets from the clothes they wore in middle school or high school and left behind when they headed off to college.

I wear plenty of my 2 sons hand-me-up t-shirts and I have stolen the younger sons hand-me-up Levis for gardening and even capris and shorts (he prefers the 514 cut).

I always bag up my old clothes and put them in a clothing bank which then goes to charity. I can understand why people hold on to their bigger clothes, but I'm just like "heck, I want my wardrobe full of nice clothes I can actually wear."

For me, I just look at old photos to see how far I've come.

I have always kept some larger pants as I go but that is because I am not done having babies yet. I wear the bigger stuff until I am truly ready for maternity and I also turn some of them into maternity clothes. Ya know that in between it's just bloat and uncomfortable and you actually have a belly stage? I keep a few bigger sizes for that

I got rid of them as I lost, but I kept one pair of my size 12 jeans (which is what size I was when I started). I'm now a 2 and like to put my 12's on once in a while just to remind myself where I was.

That is a very interesting question. One because I believe if you have clothes that are too big even a little bit in your clothing rotation how can you truly gauge your weight loss. Meaning if one day you put on a pair of pants that are a little snug would you the just change into a pair that you knew were a little bigger? Or would you suck it up in those that are a little snug and get back on the ball to get your weight back down? I got rid of my clothes as soon as they were replaced by other items. As I went down more and more sizes I did deceid to keep things from a point but that plan didn't last long. I will admit I have some jeans that I paid way too much for still in my closet but I figure if you get down to a size you are comfortable at, hopefully you have learned how to maintain it.

I'm 8lbs to goal and have replaced clothes as I've dropped sizes (from 14/16 US to 6/8 Petites. I have done this before and swore I'd never do it again but fell back into old habits. MFP has been an inspiration and an education; this time I'm determined not to slip back. No old sizes left so I've also crossed the Rubicon as another poster said. Never again.

I donated everything 2 months ago. To be fair though, there were clothes of all sizes, and even kids clothes, that had been piling up for years... Seriously I had 25 big trash bags full of them...

My hubby, who had seen me lose and regain many times, told me to keep my fat clothes. His words became a strong inspiration for me. Best day ever was when he said, "You've got to get rid of all these clothes that you'll never wear again. "

I have not gotten rid of the oversize pants as yet, but I have a pack rat mentality in general. Will probably ditch it all 3 years from now when I realize i haven't looked at them for that long, need the drawer space & realize that new pants will cost less than taking the stuff in. They are, however, out of the closet to make room for the nice new stuff.
