i guess you guys are right. yes i am moving tomorrow  (shhhhh dont jinx it) and i should just go with ONLY the clothes we (kayla and me) are wearing now. there honestly should be nothing from the past lol! im trying to let it go. and everytime i pack a bag i end up putting something i havent wonr in months. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS?? im generally NOT a pacrat. so i dont get it. traci i TOTALLY relate. i guess we were separated at birth

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.  |

I have my 1 pair of my size 24/26 jeans from when i first started this journey-- just as a reminder of whow far i've come already, and where i'm headed. Then when i'm down, i will put them on and laugh!! (i hope- lol). But other then that, i have already donated all my other clothes. I never want to see them ever again, I will never be that size again, and i know someone else can make good use of them. You will know when to let go... just trust in yourself

You need to do whatever is comfortable to you. When you are ready to let them go it may be nice to give them to someone who really needs them. As a bigger girl my whole life, very rarely did I get hand me downs that actually fit. It is such a gift to recieve a new outfit that is nice. Larger clothes are generally more expensive than regular size clothes and for many large ladies they can not afford new clothes. Remember you can not do an act of kindness to someone else without gaining something for you. I can not wait to give all of my big clothes away......19 more sleeps until surgery.

Kenya Im right there with you. I was doing the same thing. My closets and drawers were stuffed with clothes. I even had piles on the floor stacked up and the other day I was home with a sick kid and I went in there and for 2 hours I tried on clothes. By trying them all on and seeing how big and awful they looked on me allowed me to make a HUGE pile and get rid of them. I have donated some and then I have a sister in law who is getting like 10 huge garbage bags of new clothes from me. But after doing it finally I do feel so much lighter and happier but all this time I had not been able to do it. I kept thinking that they still fit me or something. So I know exactly what your feeling. It only took me 7 1/2 months to do it but I did it.

I think they are a security blanket for us. We have yo-yo dieted so long, subconsciously we are just being prepared for the what if? I know it is hard, but let them go....

Kenya, you are doing great and will NEVER need those clothes again. Give them to someone that can use them and you will be so proud of yourself.

Okay, you've probably already moved by now -- but I think she had a great suggestion -- just leave the old stuff behind with your old apartment and your old life! You do look SO BEAUTIFUL! Remember that to get where you are YOUR OWN BODY had to LET GO of the fat it had held on to for so long -- so if your body can let go and start all over again -- your mind and your emotions just have to catch up! You are BEAUTIFUL inside and outside and you don't need any leftovers of the old you (unless of course you want to keep ONE as a trophy!) Its time to move on -- give them away -- free yourself from that past and move on into a beautiful new future!
