donating or tossing the "fat clothes"

Good call. If in good condition, definitely donate.

anyone else done this? gotten rid of the bigger size so that you don't have a choice but to make sure you get into the smaller size, or stay in the same size??

i'm already getting rid of anything sweat pants related!!! i will wear my yoga pants, but i refuse to ever put on another pair of sweat pants ( even if they are size small, LOL!!!)

i'm just wondering if getting rid of what i consider my "fat" pants is a good idea.......

thanks!!!

When they are too big, get rid of them! The satisfaction of doing so, is a real booster. I am fixing to take my sixth tote to Goodwill next week. Of course, now I have to go shopping - again! :happy:

Donate. Possibly someone on here or at gym etc. I see alot of comments about people needing to buy new clothes but can not afford it or are still losing and hate to invest in something they will only wear a short time and then it will be to big. But yes, don't look back.
Oh! And CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

I love putting clothes in the giveaway pile! I wish I'd kept my largest pair of jeans. I kept the next ones down, and the sweater I have a pic of myself in at my highest weight, otherwise, everything goes!

I am getting rid of or altering as I go to reduce the cost of buying new clothes until I have to. Except for one pair of pants. I want the "look at healthy me fitting into one leg of my fat pants" picture! lol

I plan on donating mine as I go. So far I have donated some to a coworker that I know needs them but in the future plan on donating them to a local nursing home or county retirement home where they are needed. I didn't realize how much they are needed until I called them randomly to ask. They said they get a lot of donations for smaller to average people but really need donations of larger clothes. Just something to consider.

I always get rid of my fat clothes once I don't fit into them. I figured that there is no way I will wear those clothes again.. Its motivation to keep going and to get smaller.. and a reason to buy new clothes

Apparently yoga pants should go to.. becus they stretch if we gain weight.. but like u I love my Yoga pants.. its comfort:)

I had 6 huge bags (even huge, I was a clothes horse) of clothes that are too big for me now sitting in the garage. I keep tossing stuff on the pile and wondering ....why am I holding on to this crap? I'm never going back.

I donated them all this week to Savers, which is partnered with boys & girls clubs in my area.

I'm starting a new pile for them now!

Good call. If in good condition, definitely donate.

This.

And congratulations on the loss!

I wished I had kept a pair of my largest pair of jeans and tee-shirt also. I plan to go to the thrift store and buy both in my starting size when I reach my goal weight, just for pictures. I'll probably keep them in my closet, just for motivation when I start maintaining.

Oh I did keep my fattest shirt and my fattest pants (capris actually) so that when I finally do take the "after" pictures, I can wear them and show how much space there is now.

But every other garment, (excluding those few things that I will never wear again but keep for sentimental purposes (like the outfit I married in/graduated college in), has left the building!

This is a fabulous idea! Definitely gets rid of the safety net!

As a person who's always struggled with my weight (though I intend to conquer my weight this time), I've had clothes in about 6 different sizes. Recently, I went through and sorted stuff to donate and some stuff to just flat out toss. The first pile to donate was 34 8 gallon bags which were stuffed full and sent to the MS Association of America (www.msaapickup.org). The second donation was only 4 15 gallon bags of clothing and some shoes...though there was other stuff as well.

I have enough to get me through in my current size. When I've reached my goal weight, the stores and my credit card better be prepared!

Bye bye safety net!!!

i do donate what i can and toss what isnt good. sweat pants are ok. i work out in them during zumba during the winter months. they are small so no biggie. i only have one pair though. it will help somebody else who might be doing the same thing that cant afford newer clothes so they stay where they are since its too expensive.

I plan on keeping my fattest pair of jeans.. as a reminder.

^This! I'm keeping one item of "fat" clothing. The rest I have been donating as I lose weight. Getting ready to go through my closet again this weekend, as a matter of fact.
