I know I have one or two items in the closet that the fit was just never "right" for me. Time to let them go. I'm going to put them in the donate bag when I get home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755425 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:07:35 +0000 rae 755425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to come back in after reading Alicat's post and your last one, Una. I was also my thinnest at a very depressed time of life... no tragedies, thankfully, but I was not eating that much and exercising all. the. time. A period of hideous self-loathing, which ironically prevented me from even enjoying how small I was at the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755403 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:43:58 +0000 catgirl 755403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies. Believe me, the flab is there - obviously I'm a master of disguise if none of you can see it! More importantly, clothes that pinch, roll, gather, bunch or cling just don't need to be in my life no matter what weight I'm at. </p> <p>Alicat, I'm sorry about your mom. I too was at my skinniest at the worst point in my life, in a severe depression many years ago. I just stopped eating which I tend to do when stressed. The side effects were awful - I got an infection in my ankle, I was tired and crabby and my skin looked ashy. Yes, I could stand to shape up a bit today, but I'd never go back to that state of being - nothing is worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755184 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:34:43 +0000 celia 755184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not even going to get into discussions about the so called flab you supposedly have...</p> <p>There are clothes that makes us feel fat and sometimes they makes us look fat because they are ill-fitting , so they should go.

If they don't make you feel as awesome as you actually are, I say, 'good riddance'.<br /> Alicat, I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad that you are moving forward in such a positive way. Wishing you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755166 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:24:24 +0000 Sara L. 755166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I've been slowly doing the same thing. I'm a packrat though and it takes me awhile to get rid of stuff. I usually have to move it from the closet to a drawer before finally admitting that I don't need/want the item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755161 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:22:09 +0000 MNsara 755161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! Your closet is probably extensive enough that there's no need to hang onto anything that doesn't make you actually feel good in it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755158 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:20:26 +0000 Mo 755158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome to read! I love the idea of getting rid of clothes that don't serve to make you feel great. Baggage - it's just baggage. Out with it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755151 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:16:48 +0000 Anonymous 755151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Timely post for me. Last week I took a bag of jeans and denim shorts to Buffalo Exchange and sold them. They were all items that I'd bought after my mom's death in April 2011, when I was skinny, skinny, skinny. I'd kept them because I felt like someday I should be able to fit into them again.</p> <p>Hello? This is reality calling. I got that skinny because my mom was in hospice and I wasn't eating. That is not an ideal! I'm almost 5'8", muscular, and curvy. Goodbye, size 27 jeans and shorts, you just make me feel bad and remind me of a sad time in my life. Go make someone else happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755127 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:43:52 +0000 Janet 755127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm going to be doing another mini-purge in the upcoming weeks for the same reason. I have too many things I feel great in to wear something that brings out such insecurities. </p> <p>You look amazing -- if they make you feel bad, the offending clothes shall go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755124 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:41:13 +0000 Preppy Pear 755124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flab? What flab? But even if others don't see it (I certainly don't), I think it's still great to get rid of things that create mental flab. I have often bought or kept things that made me feel chunky because men or girlfriends insisted I looked great in them, and I ignored my own feelings. Bah to that, I say! (Even though I'm pretty sure I'd insist that you look fab if I saw you in the purged clothes.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-755096 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 10:26:33 +0000 Deborah 755096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good on you! I don't see any flab on you at all, but you know no matter what our size or shape the wrong things can certainly make us feel flabby, bulky and unfab. I say you go girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754908 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 02:09:20 +0000 rae 754908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here here! I've been majorly purging, too. Way faster than I can Ebay it all - oy! Wish I could consign, but I don't think my purged stuff is anywhere near high end enough to be allowed in the consignment stores here. Not just stuff that incites the F-word, but anything that in general feels pretty blah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754904 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 02:06:08 +0000 Jaime 754904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I too want the secret of invisible flab, but your purging and, even more amazing, not spending your consignment credit is excellent. Consignment credit spending is my weakness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754896 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:56:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 754896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go Una! I started doing that quite a while ago and continue to purge clothes that make me feel bad about myself. Life is too short and our closet space too precious.</p> <p>However, where are you hiding this flab you speak of? In your armpit? behind your left knee? 'cause I don't see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754893 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:55:00 +0000 Thistle 754893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voted out of the closet!</p> <p>Good for you. Only clothes that make you feel fab deserve a spot in your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754810 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:02:57 +0000 Aziraphale 754810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh...what flab? I don't see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754808 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:59:43 +0000 cinnamon fern 754808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is good! I admit I may be an over-purger - BUT - getting rid of things that make you feel yucky in some way is the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-evicting-clothes-that-make-me-feellook-fat#post-754781 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:32:41 +0000 Anonymous 754781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You go girl!
