snowMan Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 For those in the U.S., you may be familiar with the "tax free" weekend we just had. Since tax-free meant slightly cheaper and considering I had lost slightly over 100lbs. since I last bought clothes, I decided it was high time to refresh my wardrobe. My w00t moment was when I was trying on clothes and went from a 3X -> Large (almost medium, but still a little snug) in shirt size and a 46 -> 34 in pant size. This is the first time in my life that I went in to a store and bought clothes smaller than what I was wearing. *w00t* Link to comment

Larc Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Being able to fit into smaller clothing has been awesome for sure. Realizing that I am going to have to pretty much throw away everything I had is kind of a bummer, but good job! Too bad we can't earn money for completing goals like in games. That'd take care of our clothing problem hahaha. Lv. 1 Canine Warrior STR: 3 - DEX:2 - STA: 2 - CON: 2 - WIS: 3 - CHA: 3 "Every dog has his day. Guess I better make every day that day!"

That'd take care of our clothing problem hahaha.I know exactly what you mean. I actually "refreshed" my wardrobe around mid-summer of last year so most of my big clothes are still in excellent condition. Having to get rid of clothes that still looked new was saddening, but I donated them to a good cause so at least they went to good use. Before I donated them, though, I did get a picture of how both me and my girlfriend were able to fit, together, in an old pair of dress pants and button them. Should make for a pretty awesome "after" picture. Link to comment
