What do you do with your old clothes?

Wow, congrats on the progress that's awesome! You should feel super proud.

Personally I would definitely get rid (I struggle with this too though!). Don't have that thought in your mind that you could go back because you become what you perceive yourself to be. Maybe keep one size up for comfy clothes to relax in. If they start becoming your daily wardrobe because the others dont fit then you know to take action.

The sheer cost of having to buy a new wardrobe should be enough to make the right changes! It would for me any way. I have expensive taste for a start haha!

There's always the option of a maintenance dose to keep you on the right tracks too.

And there's lots of places that will accept clothes that have been lived in. Drop them in a donation bin somewhere, or hand them out to the homeless. Maybe there's even somewhere that upcycles old clothes?

Thanks. I'm going to keep one size larger and donate the rest. I have enough for a long maintenance period so I'm just not going to allow myself to get larger than 1 size. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Even with what you have in your freezer? 😮 I'm going to tempt fate and keep a size larger and give the rest away, based on my stockpile. I kept them before and allowed myself to get bigger again.

For a good long while; a couple of years, at least. My worst fear is that I'll get some sort of side-effect that will mean I NEED to go off. In any case, in other situations when I regained, there would have been no threat of incidental punishment that would have prevented me from regaining; I desperately didn't want to get fat again, and I did anyway. Taking away a safety net of basic dignity won't prevent me from regaining if I'm going to regain, and if it happens, then I want to leave myself that dignity and not add the misery of clothes shopping to what will already be a miserable state.

Gotcha. I have that fear in the back of my mind due to the fenphen issue years ago. I just missed going on that crap.

fenphen is the reason I waited and watched for two years while some of my girlfriends were on ozempic, because I remember what happened last time they promised us it would be ok.

My doctor refused to give me a prescription for it for a year. He finally relented and I had it in hand, (back in the paper days) but hadn't filled it yet, when that heart valve report came out.

I spent 2 months reading up on Tirz and then Reta before I jumped in. I think the trials now are much more extensive now than back then because of that, so I'm somewhat reasurred. But it's still in the back of my mind.

yep. It's the reason why I have reta in my freezer, and intend to try exactly one vial for like a month, just to make sure I don't have any kind of immediate bad response that would mean I should stop slowly stockpiling it, then lay off it and go back to tirz. Even if I decide reta IS right for me, tirz is fine for now, and I want time to wait for longer term data.
