Having been yo-yoing in weight most of my adult life - I have collected many different sizes of clothes over the years.  I have kept the clothes in bins and even moved a good deal of them across country with me.   I also recieved clothes from my mother recently as I went up in sizes and she went down (g-b).  
I have already started to get rid of some clothes, and I like the idea of getting rid of clothes for GOOD!  And never seeing them again.
Does anyone else have these bins?  I am looking forward to going through them, but also kind of afraid.  I know some of those clothes have to be from the 90s. lol.  Here's hoping what's old is new again soon.

I sure do! I have my small bins that hold sizes 4 to 6, my medium bins that hold sizes 8 to 10 and my large bins that hold size 12. I can't wait to start digging into them again!

I am also a bin girl.  I am almost too small for all of my bin clothes and I'll need to start shopping soon (scary)  My advice to you is take inventory and try on frequently so you don't blow right past clothes during the quick loss phase.  Keep a few empty trash bags in your closet to throw items into when you notice they are too big.  When a trash bag fills up- sort it into a donate or sell pile and a throw away pile for too worn items.  As I filled each trash bag, I brought it to the garage.  My last count was 20 trash bags to donate.  The rescue mission will be picking them up with some household things in a few weeks.  I think that pile will be a photo-op.  I'm also donating excess hangers.  I think when when I was at my fattest and had an event to go to, nothing fit or looked right so I would go and buy more, or when dieting i would by a top I really liked in a few sizes, really believing I would be wearing them soon.  I've finally worn them and shrunk out of most of them, and you will too. Enjoy the ride!
