Yes, it's fun to be able to raid your own closet and wear those clothes that used to be too tight that now fit. I gradually made a pile in my closet of clothes that just got way too big and sloppy on me. I fretted about giving them away too. It's like what JustJo said, was I giving myself permission to regain all the weight? NO! Finally donated the bag the other day so now I can start the pile again. It had gotten so big it was in danger of toppling over. I've been buying new pieces here and there, including a favorite jacket I love two sizes smaller!
