Default To Keep or not to Keep, that is the question

After 4 and half months my clothes are begining to fall or look ridiculous, do any of you keep any pants or shirts or whatever as a reminder or did you tossed everything out or gave it to charity.

I think that I was not the heaviest person in the world but when I look at some of my pants or shirts I feel good that I dont have to use them any more. can't use them to work anymore, but what do you guys have to say about it.

suggestions, comments are welcome.

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.

I say Bye, Bye, Bye. Who needs a reminder of the past. Look to the thinner future. Get rid of them...

Keep one for comparison and as a reminder, and give away the rest.

I agree with Doc. Keep one pair just to have as a reminder. But I finally got rid of all mine. Hard a hard time realizing that they didnt fit anymore and that they were too big. Mentally I thought I still fit in them. but I finally tried them all on and got rid of them. But I did what Doc suggested and kept one pair to always remember where I use to be.

I sold nearly everything in EBAY...I had a lot of nice stuff and the money helped me buy smaller sizes! I did find that one pair of pants the other day....and I'm really glad they were still around...I can put both legs inside one leg of these jeans!!!

why keep clothes from the past???

your goal is probably NEVER go back to the place you started at, right??

well, i've not had the surgery yet (next week) & i've already had to ditch some of my clothes!!!!!

i would save 1 pair of pants & get rid of the rest...

i donate to shelters, etc that don't resell their clothes so people in need don't have to pay anything for them...

that's just me....

hope i was of some help to ya!!

great job so far with the weight loss!!

LOL,

I have kept one pair of blue jeans just to be able to look back and see the difference. Hey, be good to yourself. Go buy yourself some new clothes. You are looking great and deserve an award for your weight loss. When will you be back in the U.S.?
