Too big clothes...what do you do?

What I would do is get rid of them as they are a part of you that doesn't matter anymore, go out and get yourself something new that you could fit it at your goal weight and keep working till it fits

Donate them to goodwill.

Yup get rid. I've done that wore bigger clothes n instead of goin dwn in size went up cs they were loose n didn't realise I was slowly piling it bk on. N yh defo get a smaller top or jeans as ur one day they'll fit clothes. I hve but not fitting into them yet but one day hey

I donated everything to Goodwill. It was almost cleansing. I'm never going back to those sizes so I got rid of them.

I got rid of things as soon as they stopped looking good on me. Sometimes that meant a pair of jeans in 14 were (sadly?) only worn 3 times before they sagged in the bum and I started wearing the same brand/cut in a 12. Other times it meant I wore a XXL tank when it was tight as a base layer, same tank when it was getting loose with a cardigan over it, and finally that tank had its last hurrah as a baggy swimsuit cover-up before getting donated. Nicer items I've sold (mostly via craigslist or depop).

But yeah, I didn't keep things.

If money for a whole new wardrobe is an issue (which I think it is for most folks who are losing drastic amounts and changing sizes regularly)...try to focus more on having a 'capsule wardrobe' where you mix and match everything you own. Also, while you might frown on discount store clothing or fast fashion, this is one of the times that it can be useful.

For me it was really hard getting rid of clothing sometimes. I was used to being in the same size range for over a decade and collecting unique pieces. But I definitely got over it. haha ~ I wouldn't go back for anything.

I sold some of my nicer stuff that was silk, cashmere, leather, sequined, beaded. I got a good deal on store credit at a higher end second hand store and bought things that fit.

Good job Gina! I went through my closet and got rid of everything that didn't fit, I didn't love or didn't look great on me. Now getting dressed is so much easier becuase I know no matter what I pull out of the closet it will fit and I will look/feel good in it.

This - a definite feel good move.

Keep it all

I've lost and regained so many times I have clothes ranging from size 8-24. I'm currently in the 24's. This is the LAST time I'm doing this. I'm older, smarter, and much more determined now.

As I leave a size this time I'm donating them to a local battered women's shelter. Some of these women leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs and I'll never need them again.

Donate them reward yourself with some new clothes that fit

Start thrift shopping; pants with spandex, and tops with similar stretchy materials, often shrink a little in the wash (I avoided saying dresses because when they shrink it's less "fitted" as a result and more likely to be a poorer fit). I suggest added these to your wardrobes; leggings if you're a lady, if you're a guy washing your jeans more often in warmer water to tighten them up.

Thrift shopping is super key if you're staying motivated; if you can afford regular new clothes, that's ok too, but in my opinion thrifting (Goodwill, Stuff, even TJ maxx) gives you the extra advantage of trying other styles and colors and fits than you may have had when you had more weight on your frame.

I think improving your body goes hand-in-hand with improved self-perception and image; this often means you're gonna be trying new things, figuring out who you are (in a sense) or trying to "be your best self", which can lead to style changes
