I am currently a 12-14. I still have my size 16 jeans, size 18 wool pants from Eddie Bauer, and several XXL tee-shirts that I sleep in. I have slim pickin's in the closet, but almost everything there fits.

I finally got rid of all my size 2x and 3x clothes this past weekend. We had a huge neighborhood garage sale and I made almost $400!!
I would size people up as they walked up the driveway and I would say that 50% of the folks could wear those clothes!
My closet looks so clean. I hadn't seen the walls and most of the floor for 8 years!
It feels very liberating to be free of that part of my past. Quite emotional really.
I had been the same weight for at least 10 years so I didn't have any smaller clothes waiting for me, so it has been expensive. I look for sales and coupons and I'd hoped to be a size 14 by now so I bought a lot of stuff at the end of last summer when they were practically giving it away. Luckily I've managed to squeeze into most of it!
There's no going back now!!
