Yesterday I just went to my closet and cleared out my in between clothes. 9 years ago I weighed about 240 wearing about a size 22 or what ever would fit. I cleaned those clothes out about 6 months ago. So yesterday I cruised by a second hand store and bought a few more new things. [I hate paying full price for brand new things when I can get so much more that are good quality for a lot cheaper..LOL] I wont be throwing out the clothes Ive just removed but have them in a bag in my basement. Is it a security thing? I dunno. I have been maintaining now for 5 months and I feel well and satisfied however just a little part of me wonders if something wont go wrong and I may put some weight on. I sure hope not!
