Currently: cold 
their wardrobes in the spring, when they do their spring cleaning and such. I just purge mine whenever I see something come out of the dryer that I *know* no one will ever wear again. This has cut down tremendously on the same old stuff coming through the laundry but never being worn. And has given us a bit more room in our closets and drawers. But it also means that I have absolutely NO sexy lingerie anymore!
How did that happen? Oh yeah. I remember now. I gained weight. I gradually started throwing stuff out that no longer fit, or looked ridiculous. You know what lingerie items I miss the most? The cute little corsets that I often wore as outerwear to shows and such. My very favorite was a red and black snakeskin-print vinyl one. So hot! Sigh. I really should have kept it, just as motivation. But I got so frustrated when I’d try it on and see bulges where there hadn’t been any before.
I finally threw my hands up in exasperation, said “forget this!” and tossed out, telling myself I’d just buy an all new cute wardrobe (lingerie included) when I reached my goal weight. I’m not even going to say how long ago that was, but it has been long enough.
This coming year has GOT to be the year that I get fit again and somewhat healthy. I don’t know how I will do it, because nothing at all has kept me inspired and motivated enough, but hopefully I will find a way to make it happen somehow. I should have done this years ago.

LOL! That is how I do it too! I have a plastic bag in the laundry area and I just toss them in until they are full. I never buy myself clothes so if my mom doesn’t buy them for me they don’t get replaced.

@Starrlight:
Same here….when I visited my mom recently, she MADE me shop for myself. It was a bit traumatic, but I found a few good pairs of jeans so I guess I am glad. I just really don’t want to spend the time and money on finding clothes that fit my frame at this size, even though not having any clothes hasn’t really motivated me to lose the weight. But I hope that maybe one day it will!

That is a great way to purge! I am so going to add a box to the laundry room!

@chelle:
I’ve found a donation/throw-out box a must-have in my laundry room. Let me know how it works for you!

I definitely feel ya on the lingerie thing. Last year Jim bought me a couple of really nice corsets at OmegaCon. Of course, now I need flowy skirts and other pretty things to wear them with!! :)

I’m with you - I keep putting off buying clothes because I don’t want to “waste” the money until I lose some weight. That’s been good minute since I made that goal. Oh well - another new year’s resolution!
