You've been so restrained, I looked at my 'big' clothes as a really bad time in my life. It was like some sort of therapy getting rid of them! X

I've always been fat, so the fat clothes reflect EVERY period of my life lol!
I think I'm a 24/26, but I'm still wearing some 30s, one or two 32s and one 32/34. I'm gradually trading my 32/34s for 26s and 24s, but it's a long and expensive process...

I'm keeping everything crossed I can fit in primark clothes soon x

 

[chappers]

You'll notice it more come the spring Sarah when you've lost more and will probably be in 20's by then. Lovely summer cloths. Fabulous. X

 

[Banderbird]

I've got a whole range as well, can't wait to start ditching them.

Last time that happened I had to buy all the 16s again when I put the weight back on!

 

[chappers]

It's not a food way to go, definitely just keep the skinny wardrobe.

Yay yay 5st is brilliant Sarah. Wtg!
I so get this. I have never flung/gave away clothes before unless I genuinely do not like or I have worn them done. Anything I grew out of was put away for slimmer days :8855:. I was made to get rid of those a few years ago as they filled our wardrobe . I also agree with dreamer though in that it was like a therapy to finally give em up. So many memories and regrets were wrapped up in them. My favourite outfits (4 of them) where taken in drastically so that I could wear them one more time on the cruise back in October but still felt quite sad to bag them up and give them away last week.

If it's to bug it goes... Yay no need to hold on to clothes thinking "well I beat keep it as the chances r will put the weight back on" oh no not this time... Even my previous skinny clothes r getting to big!

I don't have much of an emotional attachment to clothes, none of it really means anything to me. The things I feel reluctant to let go of tend to be things I don't feel I've got enough wear from. As an example I have a pale blue suede jacket that I've worn once before I outgrew it. It is very fitted, and looks odd now that it's too big, but it cost sooo much money and it's been worn once. I'm embarrassed that I spent money on something so impractical, even more so that I then never used it and wasted the money. It's not about the jacket, it's about the wastefulness, if that makes sense.

Still, come January it will go, because hanging onto it doesn't make it any less wasteful!

When I lost weight last time I had a few jackets altered by different tailors, but when they re-set the sleeves they never quite look right, otherwise I'd take this jacket and my more expensive suits to have them altered.
My only consolation is that at least in the new year I'll be able to buy relatively cheap work suits rather than having to pay hundreds of pounds - it could always be worse!

Maybe we should have a clothes swap on this forum as we seem to have most sizes covered.

 

[sarahrob]

An online swishing party - I like it!
I can't remember who it was, but someone here goes to slimming world and took her clothes in there when they were too big. I remember thinking what a good idea that was.

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Aww it's a shame about the tailoring cold have been something to do with it to make it less wasteful, I totally get what you mean by that too! The new coat I'm getting for Xmas is a size twelve it doesn't zip up yet bug there's no point in me buying one that does because it won't fit soon x x

 

[Val]

I agree Kirstie I had a new coat for winter and didn't know what size to buy & similar to you my zip just manages to go up but another stone and it will be fab!!!

Great ideas to do a clothes shop we should have like an ebay thread

Miserable day today, and I don't have many of those. I've been coughing with my cold, and everything tastes hideous. Oh, and I forgot to take movicol when I had my fill, so I'm extremely constipated and in a lot of pain.
So this morning I decided to take dulcoease, thinking it might work faster than movicol. The capsule got stuck, and between that and my cough I felt pretty bad. My mum felt so sorry for me when she saw me yesterday that today she did me some corned beef hash for my dinner. Thankfully she'd left by the time I attempted to eat it because the first mouthful came straight back up and I couldn't bring myself to try again.
I bagged the remainder and took it out to the bins. Being in a large block of flats the bins are big skips in a gated compound. The gate of the compound closed behind me only for me to realise the lock was broken on the inside and I couldn't get out. After 20 minutes or so someone came into the car park and I managed to attract their attention, otherwise I could have been in there for hours.

So now I'm sore of bum, throat and stomach, instead of going onto solids tomorrow I may end up going back to liquids, I'm still gaining weight despite eating naff-all and I've got a right strop on with everything.
And I got locked in the bin compound.
There are rats in there. I'm hungry enough to eat them if I wasn't so sure they'd stick.

Oh bless you Sarah, you poor. I'm so sorry you've had a rough time of it. That rotten cold is really hanging about. Sending hugs to you. X

 

[sarahrob]

Thankyou hun x
I think the cold and the fact I can't sleep for coughing is the reason I'm in a big mood... Either that or I'm just turning into a mardy cow!

 

[chappers]

Never! You're only human love. We all have our breaking points. X

 

[flutterby1966]
