SO happy that you are happy and healthy again. Do what feels right in your heart with the clothes - get rid of them for sure, but consign or pass on to others as you see fit. (((HUGS))). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157868 Tue, 18 May 2010 00:54:11 +0000 Tanya 157868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your wise and kind words. You are absolutely right, i should get rid of those clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157843 Mon, 17 May 2010 23:07:03 +0000 Anonymous 157843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, I noticed that you looked like your fab self in your outfits thread.<br /> I'd consider selling the clothes on Ebay so you can recap some of the cost and put that era behind you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157837 Mon, 17 May 2010 22:55:45 +0000 Lisa 157837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on doing better. I agree with trying to sell the clothes. You may get more money back then you think. And it's never good to have clothes hanging around that you don't fit into (whether too big or too small) or that are associated with unhappy memories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157828 Mon, 17 May 2010 22:39:48 +0000 Christie 157828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm happy for you. When I was in my early 20s, I went under 100 pounds unintentionally too and found it hard to gain it back. I know how that feels to be underweight. </p> <p>I don't drop weight unintentionally ... now in my mid-30s. :)</p> <p>I'm glad you're doing well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157750 Mon, 17 May 2010 17:45:37 +0000 Rosie 157750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I'm so happy to hear this news. I definitely agree with the others. Although I know it is hard getting rid of clothing that you spent a lot of money on, they serve as constant reminders of harder times. Free yourself from them! I like Tam's idea of getting some sort of positive talisman to remind yourself of the strength you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157741 Mon, 17 May 2010 17:27:11 +0000 yublocka 157741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya I'm so happy to hear that. Yay you for recovering and moving on. I love the idea of consigning and buying yourself something celebratory - some kind of jewellery you can keep as symbolism of what you've survived through and that you did survive, and you've made it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157694 Mon, 17 May 2010 15:52:14 +0000 marianne 157694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's fantastic news, Tanya. I tend to drop weight like that during stressful times and it feels awful. I agree with others, get rid of the clothes and put it behind you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157642 Mon, 17 May 2010 13:07:46 +0000 Itari 157642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Tanya! I'm afraid I can't make a recommendation about clothes, but I'm glad that your weight is normal again. BTW, I don't know why, but I've always thought that you're way taller than me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157631 Mon, 17 May 2010 11:49:25 +0000 Laura 157631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - great news!! I noticed that you were looking fabulous in your recent set of photos but wasn't sure about commenting on it :)</p> <p>Everyone here has great advice. Get rid of the clothes and all of the feelings that go with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157574 Mon, 17 May 2010 03:47:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 157574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya- I am so sorry that you went through that. I agree with the others- consign them. I have to tell you- I never thought you looked unhealthy, but you were so slim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157562 Mon, 17 May 2010 03:32:36 +0000 Debora 157562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought you were looking more like your old self in your last few posts and I'm glad to hear that my eyes weren't deceiving me! I agree with the others, consign the items and start anew. I wish you all the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157553 Mon, 17 May 2010 03:24:19 +0000 taylor 157553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with the others...sell, sell ,sell...then buy something special for moving forward!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157549 Mon, 17 May 2010 03:19:59 +0000 Frances 157549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Tanya, I totally agree with everyone else. I, too, went through something horrible 2 years ago and lost a drastic amount of weight, and so I know what you mean about the relief of getting back to a healthy level. Absolutely, I vote in favor of selling the clothes and reinvesting whatever profit you can make in new clothes that celebrate your healthy weight and recovery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157519 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:28:42 +0000 elpgal 157519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>30s are tricky - metabolism changes, lifestyle changes (sedantary jobs, marriages, pregnany etc). Not to say that every person undergoes any or all of them but I vote in favor of selling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157514 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:25:18 +0000 bella 157514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote for consignment or selling on ebay. Get some of your money back and buy yourself a nice present! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157512 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:24:04 +0000 Maya 157512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Tanya that is fantastic news! 94 pounds at your height is really unhealthy I had no idea you were that underweight. Thank goodness you're back to normal. </p> <p>I think you should consign the clothes. Don't hold onto them. In my opinion getting rid of them will just be another step in getting closure and moving on, and I don't think it's good to assume that you will ever be that skinny again. If you ever have a crisis, I will come and personally spoon feed you cupcakes and make sure you don't get to that point. There are too many negative feelings that accompany those clothes and it's best to just do away with them. I know it's hard since they were expensive, but with the money you make from selling them off you can probably buy some new fabulous pieces. I know you don't get to have as much fun with fashion these days, but I'm sure a new pair of boots from NAS would be acceptable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157510 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:22:34 +0000 marianna 157510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay congrats! How about consignment/selling the clothes? Get some of your money back. I wouldn't hold on to them... get rid of the bad memories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-my-pre-crisis-weight#post-157508 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:18:01 +0000 Tanya 157508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems that I finally back at my normal weight after last years dramatic weight loss due to all the personal crises that have been going on. I am quite happy about it, but it does present me with a dilemma: I had to buy a bunch of super tiny clothes at that point. Most of them still fit, but some, such as pants&amp;jeans don't ( I can zip them, but I feel and look like a stuffed sausage). I am talking about a couple of pairs of premium denim and contemporary dress pants ( Theory and such). What do I do with them? Get rid of them? Or considering that they were quite pricey, keep them folded somewhere away just in case something drastic happens to me again? AT 5'6", I really do not want to weigh 94 lb ever again in my life, but you can not predict the future. Till the crazy events last years, my weight was pretty stable for ~15 years with going up and down of 2 lb the most. But, I am in my early 30s now, so maybe my body is changing. </p>
