After you lose a bunch of weight, you probably want to get rid of all those fat clothes.

You don’t want to go back to that size.

If you purge all your fat clothes, you deny you were ever overweight.

After you get to your ideal weight, you might slide back into old eating habits.

Gregg McBride, who lost 250 pounds and kept it off, writes in Psychology Today about his experience.

He suggests that fat clothes are trophies of what you accomplished.

Don’t just save these clothes in a box.

Put that outfit in your closet along with your current clothes.

Every time you see it, you’ll remember how hard you worked to get to where you are.

That reminder just might prevent you from eating that extra brownie.
