Do you keep clothes that don't fit anymore, thinking they'll fit again.....

JH

Yesterday I bought a pair of jeans, and I don't take the same size as years ago. From 31 inch waist 10 years ago, I buy 33 inch waist jeans now.

A few years ago, I bought many pairs of jeans, and didn't wear them much, thinking I'd be the same weight all my life....lol

It doesnt take much extra weight so that a pair of jeans won't fit anymore and the button won't tie.

First reaction is to say, I'll lose 5 lbs and I'll fit in them, but then you realize you weighed 10 lbs less when you bought those jeans, so probably 5 lbs won't be good enough.

Then I realize that I was very slim back then, so why try to be very slim again in order to fit back into them.

But at 70 bucks a pair of jeans, and I have about 6 of them that are too tight now to wear.........

Maybe there will be a famine, like the bible predicts, and I'll fit into them again.....

So,this is my question to you guys, " Do you keep clothes that don't fit you anymore, thinking one day you'll fit into them again" ?

I've kept old comfy jeans for years as I've gained weight-hoping I'd fit into them again one day. Well....over the past year I've lost a bunch of weight(that came from having 3 wonderful kids)...and now the old jeans all fit me(some are even too big now). The problem is, they're all out of style and look ridiculous-my kids make fun of me whenever I wear them. So I had to go out and buy new smaller jeans that are COOL! You just can't win...

Yeah ... I throw out the ones that get too big when I loose weight so then when I put on a few, I have to go buy bigger ones ... and then I loose and throw the big ones out (see a pattern here? Its like WT reasoning)

I have clothes in all sizes my weight has varied so much. I seldom pay that much for jeans b/c i do tend to vary in size.

Seinfeld had an episode on this he too was once a 31 but had gained a tad and was now a 32. he just scratched the 32 off and put a one in . got a lot of laughs.

Can you sell these? must be fairly decent jeans if you paid $70 for them as I seldom give more than 15-25 for knock about jeans.(Lees go for about 25-30 at target)

Down worry about, didn't you hear "The end is not years, not months away but mere days, weeks.

When you are birdfood, maybe some good little JDUB will take them and give them a home! OOPS! I forgot only dresses with panty hose for the sisters.

Sorry, feeling a bit sarcastic today.

icecream exercise This looks more like my response, then hang the jeans in the back of the closet like I do!

Sell them on Ebay and buy new jeans with the money.

Maybe you should start buying bigger clothes to begin with. Grow into them instead of out of them like you have been.

I have a rule, I keep them until they go out of style, then off to Goodwill or Saint Vinnie's. My weight has fluctuated over the years. I am currently cleaning closets and have separated out a pile of out of date clothes. Perfect for any convention/jw meeting though.
