So I kind of stretched out my swim suit, and now it is too loose. It suppose to be tight and hold all that flab in place, but since allowed it to grow with me it isn't tight enough so even though I know it isn't coming down, it feels like it.
But trying to put the same size on new it is a bit a hop and a jump. The suit is holding up and hopefully it will hold up until I can fit into a new suit without the help of a crowbar.
But buying clothes isn't really high on my to do list. I have a few sizes to lose before I am at "goal" weight and to buy clothes in-between doesn't seem logical.
My baby sister posted about throwing or keeping clothes that she has out grown and so that ever present debate of keep or throw continues. If you throw then you are saying I am going to stay this way and I am not going to gain it back, but as statistics show most people gain it back.
If the question is at the back of you mind, I think that you are unsure whether or not you will keep it off, and if you are unsure, then you won't keep it off. Even if you do get rid of the clothes, and you are unsure you are more likely then not to need those clothes in the future. BUT, I say toss the clothes. Be brave, if you need to buy bigger clothes in the future, buy them, but don't keep a crutch around. Don't keep cigarettes in the freezer once you have quit. What is the point? How does that help that you have it in the house? Bah get rid of it.
And maybe by getting rid of it you will become less unsure. Success comes with surety.

We certainly could reduce clutter by gifting lots of clothes to Goodwill (both yours & mine). I have way too many clothes that I haven't worn in years (as do you), so let's expand the "give away" to make all the clothing fair game. Hopefully some of my suits will fit within the next few months.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post! I struggled with the keep/toss dilemma, but I think psychologically, it is essential to toss (or rather give to Goodwill)!
