Clean out forever, or store in basment?

I e-mailed the lady with the offer. I told her I need a couple days to go through things and keep a few key pieces. I have a skirt I bought just as I started to lose weight --- never wore it, but its become the standard by which I qualify my progress. How does the new skirt's waist band mesure up to that one? I laos have a couple favorite tops that alwasy made me feel confident. I'll keep whatever can fit into one Rubbermaid box (its currently in 4 standard storage boxes and overflowing out of a BIG cardboard box)

The good thing is that most of the clothes were very inexpesive -- I get clearance clothes for next to nothing. Just last week I bought 4 pairs of nice wool flannel slacks for $2 each. So what they would make me roast in today's weather, its bound to get cold sometime.

Wow, 70 pounds! Congratulations, catnapper!

Wow, Congratulations! I'd definitely say get rid of 'em, so you accept the "new you" officially!

How is your husband doing?

Congratulations on your progress! I agree with the "keep a few pieces, ditch the rest". That will help burn your "fat" bridges, especially since you're doing the habit-change method of weight loss.

There is no "just in case". Get rid of them. Don't give yourself ANY excuse to re-gain. If you clothes start feeling snug, time to get some excercise! You do NOT want to be fat AND unstylish! Celebrate the new you! Congrats!
