I did this over the weekend. I put aside one pair of size 26 jeans, one pair of 3x (26-28) shorts, a 4x (26-28) blouse, and a size 26 long sleeved tee shirt as a reminder of where I had been. These were put in a small rubbermaid tote and up they went on a shelf in the closet. I filled 5 trash bags full of clothes and off they went to charity. My bureaus are "mostly" empty too. It felt pretty darned good. Many of the items were hardly worn. I hope someone who needs them gets them.

I do have enough stuff in my current size, but I have *nothing* in a size smaller than I am wearing now. Nothing to wear if I go down a size. Could get scarey...hide the kids! ;) :D :eek:

:congrat: That is a great! I think I will do the same actually. The more I see those clothes, the more I think, well what if...but not anymore. I think I'll take them out of the house and take them to goodwill, because I will never allow myself to get this big again. Thanks!

How cool! I haven't done this myself. I was able to get some shirts and pants out that were too small last summer, but I can wear them this summer.

It's a good feeling.

Congratulations on this big step and enjoy all the pretty new clothes that are to come!

Oooh, you're not kidding!! God knows *I* have been enjoying this aspect of the journey to the FULLEST possible extent! I don't think I have ever been quite so obsessed with clothing in my whole entire life! :o My favorite way of putting it is that I've become like my own life-size Barbie doll, and I can't get enough of putting together outfits and dressing her up in the prettiest clothing I can find! :lol: But seriously, lately it seems like nothing gives me quite as big of a boost as wearing something that makes me feel good--it's an instant shot of confidence! Yep, all these new clothes are gonna be the end of me... :dizzy:
