I haven't changed sizes yet, but I understand. I'm afraid too. I need my backup clothes.

You know, I was the same way about getting rid of high carb food. I've been low-carbing for several weeks, but it was just this morning that I finished getting rid of the high-carb food. I was never tempted to cheat with it, I just needed to have it, and I needed not to waste the money.

i am currently to this day the exact same way you are.
i have clothes in my closet ranging from 0 - 28
me and my sister just did a garage sale together a couple months back
and i tried with all my might to bag up my size 12- 28's and sell them
i proceeded to sit on my closet floor crying,
in the throws of a terrible anxiety attack.

i think part of it is fear.
as much as i would love to think i would NEVER be 285lbs again
part of me fears if i've been there once whos to say it couldnt happen again...and then ill have no clothes
so i made a compromise with myself.
all the stuff that still had tags on them i sold.
i figured if i didnt wear them then i can sell them now.
so i guess its baby steps.
