That you want to fit back into and save?

I have this one dress with a zipper in the front that zips up that I fit into at one point that I absolutely refuse to get into. It's been worn a few times and it's not in the best shape anymore but I'm dreaming of getting into it again.

I'm wondering if I'm the only one that's saving clothes to fit into again.

Oh, you're certainly not the only one I've got boxes of old clothes (some of them were last worn like 15 years ago...) that are really really nice and I would very much like to fit into them. I refuse to throw them away. I've got about 20 pounds to lose and then I could wear them again. I'm starting a new weight loss project in January...

i have as chinese style black dress i wore when i was 14 that i want to fit back into. i was 119lbs then so only another 40 to go and i can turn back the clock 16 years

Yep, I have some of those. And I'm glad I kept them - there is a shirt that someone got me that I wanted to wear but was too big for, but I tried it this weekend and it fit great! There are some others I have my eye on as I shrink.

I haven't thrown out any clothes even though I have gained 50 lbs over the last 5 years.

Lucky for me as I lose weight I will be able to shop my closet and won't have to spend a lot of money on new clothes.

I kind of wish I'd kept some old clothes, but my style has changed a lot since then (early 20s tomboy to a mid-30s momma) so it probably wouldn't have been worth the hassle anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm very particular about certain pieces of clothing that I love. Especially dresses. I'm not a girly girl but I do love my dresses. And my bras.

I have a gorgeous purple dress that I wore on a cruise about 3 years ago for one of the elegant/dress-up nights. I actually didn't weigh much less than I do now, maybe 5-10 lbs less, however, at the time I wore it, it didn't fit right. I had to wear a button down sweater over the top to hide the fact that my boobs were popping out and there was horrible back fat oozing out the other side (sorry for the disturbing image). My stomach looked awful in the dress as well. I felt fine wearing it but, looking at the pictures, I could tell that it was way too small and I'm a little embarrassed that I wore it out in public. I ended up putting the dress in the back of my closet and haven't touched it since. I love the dress and I hope that I will be able to fit into it someday (and actually look good in it). I have another cruise coming up in 3 months and I would love to wear it then but I'm not sure I can lose enough weight by that time. I would need to lose at least 20 lbs and even then I'm not sure if the dress will fit right. If it doesn't fit by the cruise, I have other options but, out of all of my dresses, I like the purple dress the best. It's definitely motivation for me. Every time I want to eat something that I didn't plan for, I think about that dress and I go workout instead.

I have a plethora of jeans that I hung onto. If I get back into 16/18, I will be good until that weight leaves. I also have some pretty pieces that I hung onto from when I was newly married, all fairly classic in styling. Does that qualify as vintage wear? I was even excited to put on a pair of shoes the other day that had been snug were actually loose and felt good on my feet. It gives you hope to keep up the work!

Sigh. I have so many of those clothes. For a couple of years it was practically everything in my wardrobe that wasn't yoga pants. Now, all my size 12's fit me. That's the last size that I really bought clothes. I'd love to be able to get into some of my size 10's and size 8's because I have some fabulous ones! I'm hoping by Easter I'll be able to get into some really great clothes.

I bought myself a gorgeous evening dress that I one day hope to fit into. Thin straps with a back zip and a thin line of sequins across the top.

I have been this weight for so long that I don't have anything in smaller sizes. Looking forward to doing some shopping, then.

Actually looking forward to seeing some of my existing clothes fit better. I am most frustrated with the size of my midsection and how it looks to bulge. :/ Many of my clothes will still be wearable for my frame--they will just look better than they do now once I reach the weight I'm heading for.

Treasa, I see myself in your description. Several years ago, through a clean diet and exercise (including running), I got down to 143 pounds and a size 8/10. Oh, how I long to fit into those clothes again! Some are so cute and stylish. There are days when I wonder if I'll ever have that kind of motivation again. And then I think, "of course I will"! It's all up to me.

I have plenty of "those clothes". And as I am slowly losing weight and fitting back into more of them it feels great.
Here's my question for you guys: Do any of you keep your "fat clothes"? I always find myself yo-yoing up and down. When I get rid of the clothes that have become too big then I end up spending way more than I'd like to in order to replace them. This time around when clothes get too big on me I am putting them in a box in the attic. I never know when I might need them again.
Any thoughts?

Oh man, I have tons haha because I gained quite a lot quite recently.
I have the cutest skirts that now take quite a few minutes and a lot of breath holding to get into. I also have jeans that just do NOT fit my thighs anymore. Really looking forward to fitting them again, though!
