I have been tempted to keep my "fat" clothes even now I have lost the weight "just in case". I hate to even think I might ever regain my weight, but if I did, and I had thrown away my clothes I'd have nothing to wear! There's a fair amount of money represented in my fat clothes pile - to go buy it all again would be SO expensive!! However, then I realised I would rather go naked in public than ever buy clothes in my fat size again. And since I am not inclined to walk around the streets naked - It has to stay off!! (Or else the people in Melbourne are going to get an eyeful!!) So, the clothes throwing has begun.
I pretty much opened my wardrobe and gutted the whole thing!! I now own about 3 pairs of pants which fit, perhaps a half a dozen jumpers, a few shirts, and gym pants and tops!! My wardrobe is EMPTY!!
My husband is ecstatic - over the moon - dancing around the room kind of happy!! (He LOVES chucking things out!! When we went to buy our first house together the bank asked for the last 5 years tax papers only to find that he had chucked his out!!) Although, I must admit - when I mentioned the fact I would need to fill the wardrobe again - he was not so excited!! Hahaha!!
Me? I am a little freaked. I say the clothes throwing has begun because I just can't do everything right now!! So have put the size 16's in a suitcase to be thrown out soon. I don't actually own any 14's so this is the next size up I own... I will do it - just not now!! I am still having problems believing I am in size 12 jeans - perhaps when I get my head around that the 16's can go!! :-)
The clothes throwing is going to be a good motivation to keep the weight off - (well, I hope it will anyway!!) nakedness will not be attractive.

ReplyDeleteWonderful!
Amazing!
You must be so proud of yourself and what you're achieving
That is so cool. And scary. And liberating. I can't wait to do what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteHave fun refilling the wardrobe :)
Just fabulous! Well done - this is so motivational to see right now. You deserve a whole new wardrobe of clothes - for sure!
ReplyDeleteI did indeed have fun re-filling the wardrobe.. Although - it's going to take some time (and money) to replace the gigantic pile I threw out!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHope you are all that bit closer to being to where you want to be! Keep going and you will get there.
