I used to keep all of my old, wearable clothing, regardless of size, ranging all the way up to size 16. However, when I had maintained one size for a couple years I got rid of the old stuff. Needless to say I then put on weight, but nowhere near what would require the double digit sizes again, and had to buy clothes to fit. Now I have a six size range, but try not to go to the lowest or beyond the highest. If I hit either end I take a look at what food choices I've been making and adjust them to keep me at a healthy weight.
However, my butt and thighs are more muscular than ever and very few of my pants hang nicely anymore. Cycling and work make it unlikely this will change, so I may have to reconsider buying something bigger and getting the waist and length altered. Boo.
right now i have tons of clothes that don't fit. I've been too lazy to get rid of them. I have pants that are 18-20 and I'm wearing 12-14s now. Shirts, I have shirts that are so big on me I can't wear them cause I look like a kid in dad's clothes. I really need to clean up the closet..
Thanks Jean! I've been lurking around for awhile and thought I should join in! My trainer keeps asking me to show up to the gym with a pair of my too big pants for a before and after! haha I keep telling him I have a ways to go still!
I am a work-in-progress which, translated, means that I am changing my packrat ways.
