About 9 months ago we had our house extension started. This meant everything had to be cleared out of our bed room - all our clothes etc. So when the extension was completed i had a new walk in wardrobe to fill up with clothes. I decided that i would not put anything in the new wardrobe that didnt fit or i would never wear.

I had a pile of things to throw away and a pile of things that were way too small but i didnt want to get rid of.

In my job i have to wear smart clothes to work. I usually wear black / grey smart trousers. They are very unforgiving and tend to have no streach; in my too small bag were a selection of work trousers.

I realised at the begining of this week that all the trousers i currently wear are getting too big (this became evident when i needed a belt to hold my trousers of choice up) i dont own a belt and had to borrow one of my husband and then wear a long top!

I thought i would have a little look in the too small bag (in a quiet moment - when no one was around) as i was sure they wouldnt fit yet but thought it may give me an incentive.

I pulled the first (biggest of my small selection) pair out and tried them on - not only did they fit easily - they were a bit big.

So all on my own, in only a pair of grey slacks i did a little victory dance!

Today, at work, i have a pair of Next size 18 (UK) trousers on (i used to wear 22 - 24) and i feel good :smile:

I have a new pile on my bedroom floor of trousers to get put away that are too big - it feels good

    Great job & Sue is right ~ however, if you're not quite ready - ask yourself why? This is the time to decide - are you making a lifetime commitment to yourself this time or is this just another ride on the weight loss roller coaster? I have been in your shoes regarding letting go - but if we keep those things we are leaving that door open to go back to that size. I don't ever want that for myself ...

    Anyway, best wishes to you for continued success! :flowerforyou:

    Like said above Hon! Thats great! And my question for you, why aren't you tossing those too-big pants?! Do you plan on using them again? Toss them out like you've tossed that weight Sweetie! Thats a huge step and it symbolizes you making this huge step in your life and health! Congrats
