I have a whole new wardrobe. Well, sort of. I have hung on to lots of my "thin clothes" from over the years and yesterday I starting digging through the buckets of clothes to see if anything fit.
So far, I've gone through one bucket (those big buckets you get at Target for storage, so much easier to deal with than boxes). It was great, most of the clothes in there fit me. These are shirts and pants from around eight years ago, when I was living in Seattle. At that time my lowest weight was in around 210 pounds. Still overweight, but significantly less than my highest weight here in the City by the Bay!
It's fun going through clothes I haven't seen in years. It is like having a whole new wardrobe! The only problem is, some of the clothes are a bit dated. Not too bad, since I'm not too trendy. I'm more of a jeans and sweater kinda gal.
Next challenge is going to be figuring out what clothes to get rid of. I like my clothes and am having a hard time letting go. I think part of it is that I'm worried I will regain the weight. I don't want to have to buy a new thin wardrobe, then go buy a new fat wardrobe in a year. I realize that's fatalistic thinking ... but I can't help but think it's also realistic.
The plan is to give most of the clothes away, but I am keeping a box (bucket!) of some jeans and sweaters ... just in case.
