- - Saving smaller clothes... (https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/20-somethings/283822-saving-smaller-clothes.html)

About 3/4 of my closet is various levels of too small for me. I have sizes 14-22... I currently wear a solid 22. So I shouldn't need to buy new clothes for quite some time (but I'll buy some, just for funzies).

ETA- Oh, and there's an item or two that I bought too small as motivation

I feel this way as well. But I can say that last time I lost weight and got into all my old clothes, my first thought was "Yay! they fit!" My second thought was "Gosh, these are ugly!" Between style changes (even in what I thought were simple classic items) and my body just being a different shape than the last time I wore that size, I actually kept and wore very little of it. It was still fun to do my old clothes fashion show though!

I have a pair of pants that the last time I wore them I was like 12..lol
High school was when I started thinking about my weight, and back then I decided to keep those pants to one day fit in them again.

I still don't fit in them yet, but I'm still a lot closer to fitting in them again, than I was in high school!
