Hand me ups! (blest)

Okay… so here’s what I’m thinking. We’ve been at this weight loss project for almost a month now. If we keep working hard, it won’t be long until we start shrinking out of our clothes. (yippee!) One tried and true rule of weight loss is: DON’T KEEP YOUR BIG CLOTHES!! You see, if you know you have bigger jeans waiting for you, it makes it a little easier to misbehave. But when you know that you’ll have to go shopping if you outgrow what you have… And yet, who wants to run out and buy new clothes when there’s still a long weigh to go?

And what to do with all those cast-off clothes? Obviously, there’s always Goodwill. But I had an idea I wanted to run by you lovely ladies and see if you liked it. What if we pass our clothes around amongst the group? We have a pretty good range of sizes, I think. The way I imagine this working is something like this… I have a pretty skirt and top with lots of wear left in them. They’re too baggy. So I post the picture with the sizes and see if anyone wants it. If so, I mail it to that person. That’s it. No charge. If we’re all participating, it should even out over time anyway. And shipping shouldn’t be that bad. So what do you think? Interested?

Please tell me yay or nay in the comments so I can properly gauge the group enthusiasm!

2. I would be happy to give my size 16s to a good home. It might be a while, like months, before they are too big, though.

10. Now what does that mean? It does sound half bad? You have mixed feelings? I’m confoozed.

11. I think this is a super great idea. Snicker - although I doubt y’all will be shrinking into my duds
