Not Forgetting.

I got my closets organized this weekend and unpacked more boxes.

Oh. What an exciting life that I do lead.

But seriously, I'm slightly concerned that I've become a big-time clothes shopper since I can now fit into smaller sizes! My closets are getting full.

Anywhoozle, along with all my size small tops and workout gear, I unpacked the three items of clothing that I hope that I will never get rid of: my old fat jean shorts (Size 24W), my old fat green shirt (Size 22/24), and one pair of my fat black pants (Size 22).

I've put them up on the shelf where I can see them often and never forget where I've been with my body size and appearance:

Here I am wearing those same black pants back in June 2009:

And here are those exact same jean shorts with a current pair of my shorts. Wow! What a difference.

    So much better to spend money on clothes than food!

    I have a feeling your self confidence today is quite different than what it was.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I love looking at old clothes. I have a pair of size 26 (uk) trousers. One day I hope to be able to stand in one leg. xx

    Wow what a difference in shorts!
    I have read all your old posts (stalker alert!)
    And it really is hard to think of you as anything other than a person that has always been fit and healthy.
    You are everything I inspire to be!

    I didn't save ANY old clothes, and I totally regret that. It would be nice to see the difference like you did with the shorts photo.

    Amazing to see the differences!

    I packed up my size 22s and sent them off with a friend for a clothing drive her church was doing. I called her the next day in a panic telling her not to get rid of them because I needed at least 1 pair of fat jeans back! I hope to have some amazing then and now pictures to show off in a year or so.
