So with losing weight I now have clothes that are too big. Being that I have not felt comfortable going for the 44 waist pants and I don't have a lot of 46 waist pants, I continue to sometimes wear my 48 waist pants. And when wearing pants that are that much bigger than I need, I have a lot of material bunching up. A good problem to have.
While I am committed to this program and being thinner and healthier, I'm not ready to throw the old clothes away. Is this because of the fear of gaining weight back? Or could it be something else?
Eitherway...I'm looking forward to reaching goal and buying new clothes. It may not be for several months or a year from now when I reach goal, but the day is closer now than ever before.

Good for you! My hubby just reached his goal weight and he really needs to buy all new clothes. He got a few on the way down, but seriously, the man needs clothes. He hasn't given away his old ones yet, but I think that's on the horizon. I'd like to get rid of my bigger clothes too, but I'm not quite ready yet, either. Someday, someday...
I know for myself, and I'm sure you remember, at the end of the 80's I had to make a decision and turn my life over to a new direction.
(Boy, does that give it away or what?! - so much for anonymity!)
The changes I made were drastic at first - don't drink. Go to meetings. The other changes ; social, emotional, physical activities, etc., were much slower to realize. It took time. (Some would argue a long, long time). But the changes did come, and most importantly, they seem to have stuck. (I should add, "one day at a time" to maintain my card carrying member status).
You are making some really great changes in your life. Important changes. The actions you are taking today, diet and exercise, are far more important than the clothes or the importance or reasoning behind saving them.
And I know that you know all this.
(I should sign this anonymous. hee hee).
When I think back...it amazes me how much you can let things go. I never should have let myself go that far.
On the other hand...even when I was much lighter than I am now and when I was walking and playing DG all the time people would sometimes make comments about my weight. I have a picture somewhere where I believe I was the skinnest I had even been. I remember that time and hearing comments about my weight.
So I can sometimes understand how things got that way...I have always heard I was fat, overweight and other things. So things coming from the outside...other people...never have changed.
Thanks for your words and encouragement.
