Clothes
When did everyone get rid of their big clothes?
Before surgery I went through my closet and tried to get rid of all the clothes that I didn't wear. I took out a couple of large garbage bags full. It was great and I felt like I was shedding starting on the process of shedding the obese me.
But now I have lost 30lbs and my clothes are obviously too big for me. This weekend I went through my drawers and closet again. I like most people have a few different sizes sitting the closet and drawers so it is not that I am short on clothes. But I bagged up another couple of large garbage bags of clothes. It felt horrible. It was so hard to take clothes out of my drawers that were a regular staple in my life before surgery. It felt like getting rid of an old comfortable friend. Part of me is still scared that I wll still need those clothes and i am afraid to throw them out. Part of me is scared that I will wake up in the morning and want to put on a oversized shirt and pants and they just won't be there. My husband asked if I wanted to just put the bags in the basement until I was ready to get rid of them. But I can't seem to move the bags out of my room.
I know it will feel good to get rid of them and I don't need to buy clothes yet but it is still really hard.
How had everyone else dealt with their changing size?
