At what point do you start replacing clothes?

Right now i can take all my jeans/ trousers on and off without bothering to unbutton them, and if i dont wear a belt they fall off. But i've got a lot more weight that i want to lose, so im loath to buy new ones and then have to replace them again in a few months. So at what point would you say is a good time to start replacing clothes?

And yeah, i know, im fat blah blah blah (just to get that out of the way so the trolls dont have to...)

In my experience, most fat people that lose weight are fat again after as little as 3-6 months unless they go through a total life style change that keeps the fat off.

So, unless you are doing a full lifestyle change, just buy a pair of skinny clothes to wear until you get fat again.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

when your old cloths are obviously not fitting properly just replace a few peices with smaller sizes and keep it inexpensive. don't replace your wardrobe until you've hit your goal weight. then if those clothes ever get too tight you know you need to try harder to maintain the size your at before your grow out of them again. its pointless to replace an entire wardrobe partway through weight loss though if you haven't hit your expected end weight.

Bought it along the way.


However, my weight loss was due to lifestyle change as well, and I lost it over the course of 1.5-2 years about 6 years ago. I believe that is why I've been able to keep most of it off and stay as fit as I am (I also obsess about it)


So gradually just bought more clothes like I usually do, just in sizes that fit then.
