A couple of years ago, after Xmas, I took some of my Christmas cash and went to Target to cash in on the after Christmas sales. I bought some Christmas jammies that were on clearance like 75 percent off. I was dismayed when I got home and tried them on they were way too tight to wear. I don't think I could have returned them..and I wasn't going to wait in that line anyway. I resolved that I would be able to wear them at some point in the future..I am not sure if I tried them on last year..but I did put them on last night..I have dropped like 10-15 pounds since Xmas two years ago just by paying more attention to what I put in my mouth at any point in time, being mindful so to speak. Anyway, jammies fit fine on the bottom..but I probably need another inch gone on the torso for them to be comfortable. I wore them..but had a garment under the top so I didn't have to button them all the way..Do you try on clothes again if they don't fit at first..especially if you know you have lost some weight?

I have rarely taken clothes back. I keep them..I have like 5 pairs of black jeans..I really need to figure out which ones fit, and which don't/

Yes, somethings I have grown out of or have never worn I now can wear. It is a good feeling. I would rather wear clothes I have already purchased then buy new,,,that is for sure!

A year ago, I got myself a second hand pair of jeans. I'd been extremely sick and had lost about 15 pounds. I usually don't wear jeans, but these fit me like a glove:) Now, I'm back on track with my health, feeling about 10 times better. Also, I've gained back about five pounds, which means those jeans will no longer fit! Do I care? Heck no, my health is a lot more important, than a silly pair of pants!

Yes, I do, to verify if indeed I've lost some weight based on my weighing scale.

Often I do not like to throw clothes that I used years ago. My weight only goes up and down from 2 to 4 pounds, it's not a big deal, usually what used to fit, still fits.

@snowy22315 When I see that I am gaining 1 or 2 pounds, I stop eating some things for a couple of weeks and I go back to my normal weight.

Congratulations on the weight loss. I never buy clothes unless I try them on and my weight stays the same, give or take five pounds or so.

I used to have some pink Guess jeans. I loved them. Every year I would try them on, but never could fit in them again. A couple of years ago I gave them away. I had two pairs of jeans that I loved too. A few weeks ago, I was going to wear one pair and found out I can't wear them anymore. I'm giving those away. But I do have clothes that I have had since the 1990's that I can still wear.

I sometimes do but often I've moved them on before I manage to lose enough weight to fit in them.

Some of the clothes here are from my sister. She made me promise her NOT to chuck them out. Funny thing, since some didn't fit at the time she gave me, but now, I could wear them fine. Quite a few pretty tunics and dresses.

@snowy22315 I am surprised really. But that sister of mine does have some psychic power (she would say something weird, and it would happen. A bit scary at times!).

I keep some clothes in case I lose weight, but no luck so far.
