Clothes

I usually hold on to my clothes as long as I can. I wear them till they are torn, lose irreplaceable bits, get stains or don’t fit me anymore.

If they are still wearable, I donate them. I know that the likelihood of them being worn by somebody else is extremely low but it is better than simply throwing them away in the trash.

Over the last few years, I have put on several extra pounds. So now I have a bunch of clothes that don’t fit me well but are otherwise in good shape. What do I do with them?

I feel that I should hold on to them because I plan to lose a good amount of my weight and then I could wear them again. But the general advice I have heard is that I should get rid of those clothes, focus on losing the weight and then get new clothes as a reward.

I have been thinking of reducing and revamping my wardrobe anyway. So this might just be the time to get started on that process.
