    I gave away jeans that were two or three sizes too big for me (several years ago) and now I'm in one size larger than those that I gave away!!
    I am in the opposite position. I have lots of jeans and nice pants that are too small for me and I'm not giving them up. I just wish I could get motivated enough to get back in them.

    Good for you for shedding the weight you gained over the holidays.

    ETA: (after reading your post before mine) The jeans I gave away were to a co-worker. LOL I didn't have to ask her if she wanted them. We somehow got into a conversation about weight and size. I told her I had lots of pants in this size and she said that's her size! So it worked out perfectly.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    By all means, get rid of them!!! It just gives you an excuse to gain weight. You can free up alot of space for the new clothes.

    Thanks Barry!

    Yes, get rid of them. If you do happen to gain some weight again, (you won't), then you'll be forced to buy new clothes and that'll tick you off and you'll get right back on your diet. Besides, after you lose weight and get back into old clothes, it's depressing and the clothes won't look right anyhow. I kept the weight off that I had lost for over 10 years, until menopause hit, and the old clothes were out of fashion anyhow, so I had to buy new. Don't sabotage your hard work by having the old clothes as a standby. You're setting yourself up for failure. Get rid of them. And congrats for being so disciplined to catch yourself before you gained all the weight back.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I say get rid of most of them and keep a couple in the closet just in-case.
    I wear jeans most of the time and when I got down two sizes smaller
    I gave most of my fat jeans to one of my sisters. I kept a couple of jeans
    just in-case one size up.
    Unfortunately I am a comfort food eater and I gained some of the weight
    back. (thus I was glad I had a couple of larger size jeans still in my closet.)
