Weird question about getting rid of "fat" clothes
When is the right time to get rid of those clothes that no longer fit? I am not talking about the jeans that are a bit too loose, I am talking clothes that are a good 4 sizes too big, that literally fall off when you try them on.
I feel like if I donate them, I am jinxing myself and will gain it all back and have to buy more. But at the same time, I feel like having then hang around is almost like an "out". I can easily move up if the new clothes stop fitting.
How long did you maintain before you said, "This is it! I will never wear you again so get out of my house!"?

My Nest Bio and Cycling Advice
I am still 50 pounds from goal, so I am getting rid of my clothes as soon as I shrink out of them.
When I get closer to goal, I think it would be smart to keep a few pants in the size up. Shirts seem to fit more extra weight in a size, so i probably won't keep a size bigger for shirts.
I am almost too smalll for my favorite dress that I wore leaving my wedding reception and on my honeymoon, and I'm unsure what to do with it. I don't really want to part with it.= Ideas?
If you really love the dress, take it to a tailor and have it taken in.
My strategy:
1 size to big: keep a pair or two. some days you are just bloaty. don't need a muffin top making you feel even worse.
otherwise they were all donated to friends/goodwill. I was lucky that when I was losing most of my weight I had a friend who was also losing but was a size or two bigger, so she took my clothes as I lost and then gave them away. we saved tons of money on transition clothing doing this.
one of my big regrets was not keeping at least one pair of my biggest jeans around as a reminder. so I think you should def keep a pair around as a reminder of how far you've come.

This. Once I'm done having kids I'll probably get rid of stuff several sizes too big.
I started at a 26/28. When I got to the point that my 20s were getting too big, I felt it was time to let go. I made up my mind that I would never allow myself to get back into the 20+s again and sold most of them (I still have some to sell b/c they were out of season). I kept one pair of jeans for after pictures, but that is it!
I'm in a 14/16 right now and I'm still hanging on to my 18s and the 16s that no longer fit. I will probably keep these until I get to goal (around a size 8/10/12 - still depends on what happens with my body when I get lower) and stay there for a while.
I only have one size too big and I keep them around in case I have another baby - I cannot wear maternity one more day than I have to so I size up until my regular clothes fit again. So far, so good x3!
4 sizes too big - get rid of them!!!!
