Fat Pants
I've been cleaning out my closets and don't know what to do with my fat
pants. They're a pair of size 18-20 drawstring in black cotton. Even when they fit they looked like crap on me. If I keep them, I know I'll never wear them again. Here's the thing - do I want to keep them so I can see how far I've come or do I want a reminder of how bad I looked and then become depressed and possibly want to binge eat.

I volunteer at a battered women's shelter and gave them everything except
that one pair of pants. I'm having trouble parting with them. On a side note - shelters will take almost anything you have - housewares, old cell phones, craft projects and even your time.

I was surprised to read that looking at your old pants can make you so depressed about how you *used* to look that you would go off on a binge. It sounds like you need to figure out why you can't just be proud of your accomplishments without trying to undermine them. When you see the pants, and the thought "sheesh, I sure was disgusting" crosses your mind, try to figure out how to make the next thought, "but I'm not any longer. Yay me!" -- carla http://geekofalltrades.typepad.com/geek |

i think you answered your own question... why not take your fat clothes to womens shelters or places where others can benifit from them. I agree with this, but keep one pair of pants to remind yourself how far you have come (or incentive to never_go_there_again). That is what I did. Peggy Atkins Since 08-02-02 |

I got rid of all the fat clothes. Except one outfit to put on every once in a while and see how far I've come. As a matter of fact, it's the outfit in my 'before' pic. I can put those capris on over my pants now, and stick both arms in the waistband. And they still fall down, LOL! Gotta love it!

The fun part comes when you can fit yourself and another person (if possible, naked and of the opposite sex) together in the old pants... That's where it starts getting *really* impressive. |
