I have the "skinny" jeans, I have this awesome halter top I wore before the turn of the century and a bunch of suits that look brand new, you know why...I haven't worn then in over 5 years! My reward is a "old" new waredrobe when I get to my first goal..and then a "New" new waredrobe when I reach my second goal.

I have bags of pre-pregnancy clothes that I've been holding on to for months now. I feel like I will get back in them one day. . .it just seems so far off.

I have a couple pairs of skinny jeans that I hang onto waiting for the day that they will fit again. Sometimes they inspire me to work harder and sometimes they discourage me because I am still a long way off.

| I still have my jeans from before my son was born..they are only two sizes too small, but in my head they still fit..thats part of the problem.....I don't see myself the same as the mirror does...in my head, i AM a size 9! I know thats why I have trouble losing, because in my head I still see the old me!! how sad is that!
|
|
|
|
| very much so. I hold out the hope that I will fit into them before labor day weekend. Actually I have a skinny "drawer" - clothes that I absolutely love but haven't been able to get into. As I lose weight, I am moving pieces from that skinny drawer into my regular wardrobe. That makes me feel good.

Bought a new pair of skinny jeans, as I threw my old ones out thinking I wouldn't be able to get into them ever again! Feels good!
|
|
|
|
| Yes I still have a few pairs that I can't wait to get into. I got rid of most of them because they were a 0 or 3.. Yah that will never happen again..lol
|
|
|
|
| I think every woman has their "skinny" jeans!!! I just want to go back to when that meant those jeans were for regular days and my "fat" jeans were for girl problem days!!!!
|
|
|
|
| i'm at my thinnest ever LOL so i need to buy clothes every month so each new pair is the new skinny jeans :)

Oh yes!
I have two storage containers full of them. I've been on the diet rollercoaster many times.
I always give away my big clothes or eBay them.

i am a 13-16 size now and b4 my baby i was a 3-5 i have a cupboard filled with them....i wnat to wear them again
|
|
|
|
| I still held on to a couple pairs of my skinny jeans. Hubby tried to get me to give them away, but I'm glad I kept them. It's a motivator to look at them - they're proof that I CAN be thin if I want it badly enough.
|
|
|
|
| Yes! I have a hard time parting with jeans.
|
|
|
|
| I saved one pair of size 8 jeans from about four years ago. They are hanging next to my treadmill. I remember how excited I was when I first got to buy them and hope to recreate the memory one day soon
|
|
|
|
Oh! Crumbs yeah! I put on some, well what I thought were my "skinny" jeans and well they just did not fit. A distressing call to my husband and finding this site will hopefully fix everything!!
|
|
|
|
| Well, mine are skinny shorts from when I was a teenager. Maybe one day again. . . .
|
|
|

I got rid of all my skinny clothes except for a couple of sexy low rise boot cut size 4 jeans. :-) Yesterday I put them on *and* buttoned them. Woohoo! Still to tight to wear -- or breathe! But hey they are fastened. I never thought I'd get back to that pre-baby, pre-heart problem size. ;-)
I figure that after all my hard work, I deserve a new much more modern and stylish wardrobe. LOL! As long as I hit Victoria's Secret my dh is all for it. ;-)

I still have and will wear all of my skinny clothes someday soon. But I'm going go out and have fun all kinds of new stuff when I get there just to add to the excitement.

| I have all my old "Skinny jeans" :) I bought a whole new woredrobe when I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago, but still kept my "not skinny jeans" at the same time. Now my "skinny jeans" stay in the closet and my "not skinny jeans" are in the washing machine. I am too stubborn to buy more clothes so I am determined to lose the weight and wear the clothes I have :)
|
|
|
|
| I wish I would have kept a pair from college so I could compare my size now. I swear sizes have changed in the clothing industry.

| I agree with Mama I know you shouldn't keep them around because it's like an excuse to gain the weight back but from my poit of view if I get rid of them and gain some weight back I don't have the money to be out there buying new clothes again just because I let my self get fat.
|
|
|

Yes, I still have everything from when I was a size 16 (my smallest adult size) all the way up to where I am now. My family has been nagging me for years to get rid of that stuff. I've given away a few items to friends and family that could wear them, but still have most of them.
I do plan on getting rid of the bigger stuff as I go down, but 2 sizes back. That is, when I'm a 28, I'll get rid of the 32s, when I'm a 26, I'll get rid of the 30s and so on.
I was hoping the smaller sizes would be a motivation, but obviously they haven't. DH has had only 2 sizes since we married 15 yrs. ago. When he goes into the larger, he ups the exercise and cuts back on eating until he drops back to the smaller one. I hope to get to that point with a closet full of size 12s and 14s. Then I will be the size I was in Jr. High.

| I still have my skinny clothes, because it is hard to get rid of my favorites, especially my jeans. But I have a loooong way to go!LOL

|
| that's true, if they're out of style, why would you want to hold on to them. I once heard on oprah, that it's bad to hold onto them, just toss them out! That way when you lose, you can reward yourself with NEW stuff.

I have 2 pairs for 'skinny pants' that I'd LOVE to wear comfortable!

Hopefully they will still be 'cool' when I can wear them in public!

| I try to get rid of my fat and skinny clothes as often as possible. Over the years I have learned that it does no good to hang on to them.
|
|
|
|
| Yes - I have some of my skinny cloths. I'm pretty good at giving away things that are too big. I did keep one pair of jeans from when I was my heaviest as a visual of how I don't want to go back.

| I agree with pinkpixie on that one. Everytime I keep something that is bigger then me I gain the weight back quicker. I guess not having bigger clothes and no wanting to spend money to larger clothes just because I gained weight back is a great motivator not to start gaining weight again.

| Also, for some people, it helps to get rid of their "fat" clothes or atleast put them away because keeping them is kind of like giving yourself permission to get that fat again.

| I recently fit into some jeans I had been saving that were 6 sizes smaller than my "fattest" ones. It is a really good feeling to finally be able to fit in them. Also, I don't see why it would be a bad thing because Sp is always saying not to rely on the scale and use other measures.
|
|
|
|
| I"m with linda, i wanna put them on and then have them fall off....lol, I have also packed away all my clothes only to say " someday " over and over, well the ones that werent falling apart atleast :) I think its ok to have them and look forward to them, when we get there we will have a new lifesyle and new eating habbits and we will never have to say "someday" anymore. right?
|
|
|
|
| I'm hanging on and will NEVER let go. There will be a day that they'll fit BETTER than before.

It can be bad all it wants but I'm still not giving them up for anything in the world. To be completly honest I have ALL of my clothes from before I got fat every time I went up in weight I just packed up the old clothes and said some day I will fit into these well now I have a whole attic full.

| Once my sister gave me a huge bag of clothes that her neighbor was getting rid of. The niehgbors daughter always had to coolest pants and stuff, and I found a pair in there that I didn't even really hope to get into. But they were awesome so I kept them, just in case. Now they are my goal and I put them on every so often to see how close I am getting. I am not even close, but there is another pair I have that I can pull up, though I can't fasten them. When I can wear them, I will be back to my pre-daughter size, regardless of weight.
