The imperative

Hi there, I'm Angela Oberer and you've asked me this question: "When I lose a whole bunch

of weight, do I get rid of all of the old clothes that I have in my closet that no longer

fit me, or do I hang on to them because they were really expensive and they're super cool?"

Aiee, you asked me, and my answer is "Get rid of those clothes."

If you are going to all the trouble to create a whole new svelte, skinny, sexy you, why on

earth are you hanging on to old clothes that now no longer represent you, they don't fit

you, they are going to be baggy and not hang right?

Why are you going to hang on to those clothes? Because hopefully if you are creating a new

you, the new you is better than the old you. (Screen says: If you keep them, you unconsciously

expect to wear them again.) So get rid of the old clothes, get rid of

what's in the past. (Photos of Pat Oberer before and after weight loss)

I've lost some weight and these clothes no longer fit me.

I'm going to take them to the Goodwill so somebody else can use them,

Okay, so they were expensive and you want your money back. Send them to a consignment

store. There are lots of stores that sell slightly used clothing or vintage clothing,

where you can go and give those clothes to them, and they will pay you once they sell.

If it's not about the money and you don't mind just giving them away, give them to friends

or family members who think you are super cool and they like your style, and they would

like to have those clothes. The other option is you can take a tax deduction

by donating them to a place like Goodwill for example.

Where they will take those clothes, sell those in their store, and create jobs for other people.

So if you have clothes that you're going to get rid of...hang them on the back of the

door, and then take a picture of that item of clothing.

So that you have an inventory of clothes you've sent to a thrift store or consignment store

or whatever. Maybe you just LOVE that outfit. So now you

have a picture of it right? You can move forward and keep the picture. It's awesome.

Now that you're all super skinny and you're trying a new you out, try out a new fashion.

Because that gives you a chance to maybe try something you didn't try before, maybe a new

look, maybe something edgy, or whatever. Certainly you don't want to run out and buy the exact

same thing that you had before just one size smaller. Ah, don't do that, right?

That's not cool. So, get rid of the clothing that you're no

longer going to wear, because it will create space in your closet, it will create space

in your emotional energy, cause you're not hanging on to old stuff. And you will have

burnt that bridge so you are not going back, you're only going forward. So get rid of your

clothes because I'm telling you what, that's a good idea.
