Default Am I crazy or what?!?

Now that I am losing weight and my clothes are getting bigger I can't get up the courage to give away the big clothes. In the back of my mind I keep thinking that this will fail some day and I will end up back at my larger size and will need these clothes again. Getting new wardrobes is very expensive so I want to box up the big stuff and save it in the basement. I know you are supposed to get rid of the big things and believe that you will never be that size again but I just can't seem to get there. Any of you share this feeling with me?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Bag them up and BOOT THEM OUT!!! I personally sold nearly all of mine on ebay.....I kept ONE pair of jeans to take pictures with!

I think it's important to let it go....you had surgery, which means you are COMMITTED TO THIS....get rid of the clothes!

Your Attachment To Your Past Clothes Probably Are From Memories....
Keep Only A Coulpe Outfit....

Only Positive Thoughts As Far As This Surgery.....
Never Look At The Possibility Of Gaining The Weight Back.,.\

I, On The Other Hand Can't Wait To Get Rid Of Those Damn Clothes..
They Look Like Tents To Me.....

Bit Crazy I Think Not....

Lol,

I agree with everyone else on here, GET RID OF THEM. I have all my cloths in a big box ready for the rummage sale we are going to have at my daughters place in June. I only kept one pair of pants and a top for a reminder of how heavy I was. As far as getting rid of the cloths I have no problem with that but now on the other hand my husband wants me to keep the big red winter coat that is way to big for me. I told him what do I want to keep that coat for he said that I might fit back into it one day. I told him there is no way in HELL that I am ever going to FIT into that COAT again, that there is no way that I am going to GAIN that weight BACK again. It is going to the rummage sale no matter what I do not want to see that coat again, it is a beautiful coat but why save it. I am determined to keep off that weight, I was just so tired of being so heavy and I am not going back there again. I know what it is like to be on the other side of the coin.
I am going to be here for a long time to come becasue I need everyone on here to keep me in line with everything. Hope nobody gets tired of me on here.

One of the other girls on here, thankfully, is giving me her clothes as she shrinks and I am passing mine along to another member of the group too! I struggle to get rid of things for the same reasons you stated, but for some reason this time I can't wait until they're GONE!!!

Now I had the opposite problem. Clothes I bought years ago I wouldnt give or throw out because.....I KNEW I WOULD WEAR THEM ONE DAY! Sure to goodness that day happened.

As for the ones you have grown out of......Honey there are so many people out there that need them. I take mine to the Goodwill. Coats and shoes go to a mental hosptial nearby. If you find the need to keep a couple do so..... but let the rest go just like you let the weight go.
