Wink Testing the rule...

Who else has experienced this phenomenon? You put off buying clothes in a bigger size, because it's so painful, you wear clothes that are too tight, and the ones that fit you wear toooo often. Then you bite the bullet, buy some bigger stuff, and then you start losing! That ALWAYS happens to me. So today, I went shopping. Bought some new PJ's, a new pair of overalls, and a turtleneck. Saw some other stuff, including a killer red "pleather" jacket, but it was too small. I'll let you know if this works!

Totally! Bought brand new summer clothes last spring (end of May) and then started lo-carbing at the beginning of June. Great clothes that no longer fit 'cause they're a size 18 and I'm a size 10 now.

Somehow, I don't feel bad about this at all!

I hope your weight loss Murphy's Law comes true for you!

Default Sell The Old Clothes

Sell them on eBay. Gently used clothes (especially larger sizes 14 and up), sell like hotcakes. You can even snatch up something for yourself in your new smaller size and for half (or sometimes a lot more) the price then the stores.

I have had great success selling and buying clothes.

I could start a used clothing store with all the stuff I have that I can't fit into. I try to buy clothes that I can wear if I gain or whatever. Everytime I give away my really big clothes than I gain my weight back. But this time I am sticking to it and never want to see that stuff again.!!!
