my big news...

HEATHERB500 · April 2012

I did the same kind of thing at Lane Bryant the other day. I had sopme really great coupons gave me 50% of my purchase. I really need summer clothes as last year I wore 22 now I', in 14-16. I grabbed some 18 shorts and tried them on ( and I know some of lanes clothes run bigger but I grabbed the thigh and pulled them right off while they were zipped and buttoned. Now I haven't seen size 14 since high school. When I realized I fit comfortably in a pair and they looked good not strangling I had to do a happy dance. Now I just have to pick up some extra work to get some new clothes. So Happy for you! Do your happy dance you earned it.

Congratulation on your big news Dianeellen2. Instead of throwing away your big clothes, if they don't have stains on them or even tears, donate them to the Goodwill, Salvation Army or any other thrift store in your area. Even a woman's shelter. A lot of women that wears a size 20 or up shop at these places and can't find clothes that will fit them, because a lot of people don't donate big clothes.

I like to donate my clothes, because I know that someone can use the clothes that I can no longer wear.

^^Excellent idea! I do this on a regular basis. I can't stand the thought of throwing away clothes. BTW Congrats on your progress! Needing to get rid of over sized clothes is a great problem to have!
