When i am finished losing i will NEVER wear/buy mens t-shirts (might wear them to bed) but never in public

Hmmm... I'm certainly not in maintenance but it's time to purge my wardrobe.

I'm ditching:
- any T-shirt with a message or silly bunnies
- blouses that would only be worn with a power suit
- my tacky chenille robe
- my Red Hat Society regalia - my group is not fun. If I ever join another group, I'll buy new stuff!
- velour except for my purple robe
- pants that are too big for me and not worth the alteration time

There will be more!

Meg, I think I'm wearing your entire list as I type this!

Anne

You're pregnant, dear Anne! Pregnant ladies get a free pass to wear anything they want to.

Tunic sweaters.

Let's see...

size 12 or 14 anything (I'll keep some 10's around because yesterday's 10 is today's 6 or 8)
non-fitting sweaters or sweater sets (I have too many that are so huge on me they just hang on me)
anything that does not flatter (regardless of whether it fits or not)

I agree with you Meg; the first thing I did when I reached my goal weight was to throw out/ give away any pants with an elasticized waist.
I hate them and I wore them for years!
I will never ever wear pants like that again!!!
It was/is a total thrill to join the land of regular waist band pants and zippers.
And those long ( to the hips) shirts/ sweaters -- out the door!!

Long (past the hips - disguise you know) blouses that button up the front like a jacket with a T-shirt worn underneath.

"Jeans" with elastic in the waist

Boxy jackets that are wider at the shoulders to try to balance the lower part of my body

I am in with giving up my tunic sweaters! I think I used to live in them all winter long. It didn't matter I wore them with work pants, skirts, jeans! Yes, they go with anything but really do not flatter at all.

We just talked about this over the weekend. We were at the mall ( did the 5k ) and I was looking at a few outfits in windows. I was saying that is ok and that is ok. My husband looked at me and said " DEAR, you are not that big now AND YOU ARE NEVER to wear anything that looks like it could come out of the maternity section again." Oh my gosh, he is right. I am never again going to wear anything I could have worn when I was preggie lol. I happen to like old lady panties lol. I do not like how any other kind of panties fit under pants. I want my panties to stay all the way down around my behind not ride up even a little. I think woman look terrible when you can see a panty line half way up their buns lol.

grandma bras with the huge shoulder straps

My DH's jeans

frumpy jumpers (you know how they "hide" your waist???)

Empire-waist blouses, especially the ones that tie in back.

Oh yes, they are somewhat flattering, but the end result is that I also look pregnant.

I hope I never have to wear a size 12 or higher again! If I do, things have gone horribly wrong.

No more giant oversized sweaters! And no more XXL t-shirts and other oversized shirts! I used to wear a lot of really large shirts.

No more men's t-shirts. I still can't wear one in any size--XS small fits through the shoulders but is too tight in the hips. Large fits in the hips but hangs off me in the shoulders. You know what: it's not me--it's the shirts! From now on, I only wear t-shirts designed for women.

No more unflattering clothes. At the size I am now, if it doesn't look good on me, it's not me, it's the clothing. Before I would buy stuff that didn't look good and then try to camouflage it, because, well, nothing really looked good. No more.

As I maintain what I've lost and continue to reduce my size, I know I will never wear size 26/28 or 22/24 AGAIN!!!!
