I'm letting go too....

[PartyofSix]

I have been on my new lifestyle change since Jan 29th, 2003 and here we are April 24,th and I'm heading into a size 14's. Well i made a BIG decision last night. I had cleaned all my 20's and 18 jeans out of my closet about 2 weeks ago. They have been sitting all nicely stacked in front of my dresser. Well last night my husband was working late and i made a desicion to SELL them. I am not longer going to hang onto my bad habits or my clothes that remind me of them. So I took pic's of all my jeans filed them and went straight to EBAY! I am gonna use the money i get to buy myself some smaller sizes! It's like a washing my hands of old habits. So wish me luck. I'M ON MY WAY TO BETTER HEALTH and hopefully new jeans. I was able to wear my 14's for the first time monday without popping the buttons so I'll add my 16's to EBAY next! I feel so in control of myself for taking this step and letting go.

I am just so proud of you. Are you aware of how much stronger you are since taking the WISH challenge? You are metamorphosing into a strong, determined and successful woman and you make me smile.

I hope you sell those old fat clothes and make lots and lots of money.

Good for you. You are such a <b>success</b>!

JohnfromIllinois just got rid of his big clothes too! It's going around! I think it's a fab idea to sell them and use the money to buy smaller sizes. Congratulations on what you have accomplished in just a few, short months!

Don't remind me! I started my original diet 2 weeks after I had just bought a 400 dollar suit!!!
I hope someone at goodwill appreciated it

Thanks for the cheers guys! I needed a push and I was running low on shopping money.LOL I'm not getting a lot for my stuff cause I really want to sell it. Last year i had a garage sale and my small jeans 12-14-16 i had given up hope of ever wearing them again went for 3-5 bucks max so i figured if i could get 8-10 bucks a pair on ebay I could recoup some of the money for new jeans. I have a tons of clothes all are ralph lauren, tommy, levi ect so I hope this helps my husbands feeling when i mention the "s" word in the future. Most of the jeans i have are brand new. I moved through 18's so fast and i had just gotten new 20's and 2x sweaters for christmas so I have my fingers crossed. I've never sold anything online before and i'm excited about it. I see two pair are gonna see already! That's almost 1 new pair for me! Thanks for all the well wishes i have been on the scale on monday and if it holds i sure hope you'll see a new clippee for me on sunday! I only needed one more lb to change clippee's but i feel cheating if i get it BEFORE my legal weight day.LOL What can i say my guilt would eat me up if i got it and then sunday i was'nt there yet. So I'll hold off on fatting up my clippe while i'm slimming down. Thanks so much everybody for all your support! I'm so excited about finding me again is'nt this great. My husband has been such and inpiration to me. We started together and he hit 50lbs last sunday while i was at 39 we have lost our 10 yodd in weight! Now we have the triplets weight to loose.LOL They are 35, 33, 25 lbs. My husband wants to loose another 100lbs! I know we are gonna make it this time it's been a total lifesytle change. He's in there right now doing a WATP 2 mile walk with 5lb hand weights.LOL We NEVER exercised before WISH. For the record i did mine while he was gone to the tanning bed.LOL I'm unfortunely burnt to a crisp from tanning for my trip so i'm taking some days off.LOL I don't want to be untouchable on my anniversary trip now do i? I can't wait we leave Tuesday and i'm ready.

Good luck on EBAY! Keep us posted, I would love to sell some of my stuff, but I haven't taken the plunge yet!

Congrats on making the decision to let go! I am very proud of you.

Oh, Tammy! I am so proud of you and happy for you. How liberating to shed those clothes. Let us know how you do on Ebay

Tammy you are such an inspiration! I remember you started a clothing exchange thread to which I added "soon I hope to have some 12s available" and you replied that you wanted to be there! Well, look at you go girl, you'll be there this summer I"m sure of it!

too bad I'm so short

I'm just planning a garage sale hopefully in the next couple weeks. I haven't been able to take the EBay plunge either, but i've thought about it. Not brave enough to mention this plot to DH I think! I don't have a digital camera either! Though now that I'm thinking he could probably bring one home from work! Is it alot of work - eBay?? I know my adult clothes will not sell well at a garage sale! I have some really cute little girls dresses too. Keep me posted on the whole eBay thing pls??!!

OhMOM I just went to ebay and read all the rules and seller tips then I upgraded (for free) to a business account on paypal. I owned a reg account so upgrading to business was very easy. This way i can take cc's from ebay buyers. Also I am verified on ebay and on my paypal to make buyers feel more confident buying from me. I posted 12 items in total 1 was a new palm pilot my husband hated for a gift. The rest are all jeans. Last evening two had been bidded on that will sell I have'nt checked this morning. I did my sales for 5 days because i'm leaving on a trip tuesday and wanted to get any sold items gone before i left. I reached other items similar to mine and most were starting at 9,95, 12,95 and so on. So i decided to stick out of the crowd i'd do my tommy shorts at 7.00 even and my newer jeans for 10.00 and my older jeans for 8.00 the shorts are at 12.00 last night and one pair of jeans are at 10.00. Most people were asking 7.95 and up on shipping I'm only 3 miles from my post office and my dh goes everymorning to get our business mail so i offered shipping and handling for 5.95. So just look at every aspect the shipping, getting paid, and how to sell and then jump on in. The first pic is free so that's all i put. Also make sure the clothes are folded nicely and laid out pretty. If you want to see what i did you can go and look me up on ebay it's partyofsix00. I guess you can find my listings that way. And i wish i was short so i could buy your 12's! I will be in 12's by july or august i just know it.!

Wow Tammy you have come so far. I am so proud of you.

Good idea to sell those clothes and get them out of the house so they aren't a reminder.

Wishing you good luck on Ebay.
