I Gave Away My Clothes

[RUDisney]

What a rush! I gave away all of my too big clothes to one of my old employees yesterday. Many of my sweaters were from Benetton and I had alot of dresses and pants that she took. Between she and her mother, they will be dressed up like me. Well, the OLD me...

She still has a little way to go to fit into some of the things I gave her, but I am so glad that she could use them and I can't wait to give her the size I'm wearing now as I start to really fit into the next size down. I can zip the pants now... they just don't look flattering yet.

My parents were my cheerleaders when I told them what I did. As my Dad said... "never to be needed again..."

Good for you!! Out with old and in with the new!

I'm jealous. I have wanting to do that. I have been hanging on to 3 pairs of jeans that are way too big for me. I just am having a hard time to let go and say I will Never be that size again.

Congratulations on getting rid of those too-big clothes! It feels so good to really see how your body's changing, doesn't it?! Way to go on all your hard work!!!

I think it is liberating giving away. It is also a little stressful at least it was for me I had lost around 50lbs before I was able to give away my clothes that were too big for me. I had just had enough of them hanging in my closet. So one day I just went in and bagged them up and took them all to the Salvation Army. Now once something gets a little big on me, it is gone!!

Congratulations!!!!! Isn't that a great feeling?

I still have one button down denim shirt from when I was my heaviest, I sometimes wear it to sleep in now.

Jasmine, you just made me realize something. Everyone asks if I have a number in mind as a goal for losing weight. I really don't. I'll just know when I get there. But, now that you've brought up sleeping attire, I've always kept the scrubs that I used to sleep in when I was in college (almost 20 years ago.) That's my new goal... to fit in them. Gosh, they were comfortable! Only about 3 more sizes to go to achieve that goal. Oh, and YES, I know where they are so I can try them on.

My original goal was to fit well into a dress I bought last summer for my DH's class reunion in November. Well, before the reunion, I tried it on and I had to have it taken in. When I picked it up, it fit. Two weeks later, I went to wear it to my office Christmas party and it was big again.

I'm glad I could help you figure out your goal.
