benifit from them.

I volunteer at a battered women's shelter and gave them everything except
that one pair of pants. I'm having trouble parting with them.

On a side note - shelters will take almost anything you have - housewares,
old cell phones, craft projects and even your time.

Then don't. I was surprised to read that looking at your old pants can make
you so depressed about how you *used* to look that you would go off on a
binge. It sounds like you need to figure out why you can't just be proud of
your accomplishments without trying to undermine them. When you see the
pants, and the thought "sheesh, I sure was disgusting" crosses your mind,
try to figure out how to make the next thought, "but I'm not any longer.
Yay me!"

I got rid of all the fat clothes. Except one outfit to put on every once in a
while and see how far I've come. As a matter of fact, it's the outfit in my
'before' pic. I can put those capris on over my pants now, and stick both arms
in the waistband. And they still fall down, LOL! Gotta love it!

The fun part comes when you can fit yourself and another person (if
possible, naked and of the opposite sex) together in the old pants... That's
where it starts getting *really* impressive. :p

When you decide your ready put them on, take a photo of your progress and
get rid of them. The best of both.

those kind of "visual aids" never worked for
me..................consider giving them to charity!

I agree with this, but keep one pair of pants to remind yourself how
far you have come (or incentive to never_go_there_again). That is what
I did.

I'm sure someone on the fat acceptance list would want them.

I agree with Rosie on this. A better incentive, for me, is to get something
new, something cheap, interim slacks or a tee shirt.
Enjoy how good a smaller size looks, that's positive reinforcement!
