Threw away the fat clothes today...lol... - Phentermine.com

CatLady · February 25th, 2006, 05:22 PM

Well, I've plateaued this week at -31 pounds (since late November last year) but I decided to do some early spring cleaning and pitched/donated half of my closet today! I used to always keep some fat clothes "just in case" but today I pitched THEM ALL!! (Well, except 1 shirt that I used in my before shot...lol..just for comparison...) Since finding the perfect doctor and using Phen and getting my insulin resistance under control, my life has gotten SO MUCH BETTER!! So, I guess I have more room to go shopping again in the next few weeks.

Meow!

Yay, way to go. I am happy to hear that you are doing so well. Keep it up, and get over that plateau!

Hey catlady.. I wanna see stats and updated pics!

YAH! on geting rid of tthe fat clothes!

CatLady · February 25th, 2006, 08:06 PM

LOL, I'm not too good with the whole signature line thing. My before shot is SO BAD that no one but me & DH have seen it. I put that shirt back on today though when I ran across it in my closet and OMG!

I pulled back the extra fabric and can you believe it? There was a waistline there! LOL...haven't seen one of those in a few years. I'm now the same weight I was when my DH proposed 4 years ago so I'm a happy girl.

Now if I can just lose another 10, I'll be where I was at the wedding (185) ...still long ways to go but better than 226, that's for sure!!

That's great!

Congrats... great job!

Jessica6602 · February 26th, 2006, 06:00 AM

Congrats...You did the right thing by getting rid of the fat clothes!

Dont buy too many more or you will be throwing them out too...lol!

CatLady · February 26th, 2006, 07:19 AM

Thanks! Yeah, my dr said to only buy consignment during this time on Phen and I told her that if I was starting to look good, I'd buy new clothes to feel better...lol...on sale, but still....

So, I broke the plateau this AM too...194.5, woo hoo!! I went to put on this pink shirt that used to be my fave (thought I looked hot in it...) um, yeah - that was a 3x!!

So needless to say, that was added to the Goodwill pile...lol....

I'm not a fan of taking a lot of "before/after" shots only because I'm afraid I won't see a huge difference in pics but I've decided that when I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal & 2/3 of the way, I'll go get professional pics done to see the progress.

Maybe I'll post those??? I'm only 1/2 lb away from my 1/3 mark.

THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!

Good move!

I posted on here a long time ago about a rummage sale we had where I tried to sell my fat clothes. Those that didn't sell I donated to Goodwill.

At the time, my mother-in-law told me to keep them for "when", not if, I gained my weight back. I donated them anyway and that day has remained one of my prime motivators.

There is also the story of the explorer Cortez who after coming to Mexico, had his soldiers burn the ships on which they sailed from Spain. It illustrated there was no turning back.
