      This is soo true, I'm from Ghana, just got back from the market. Saw this cute top, and was soo excited to try on. After trying it on, it could not close because I'm big chested, I felt soo bad, like I was the reason I couldn't wear cute things.

      i always say that you aren’t meant to fit the clothes, the clothes are meant to fit you. so many companies have different sizing charts i can be anywhere from a medium to even plus size. i just go with what is comfortable and fits me how my body is. if i buy clothes online it’s always a variety of sizing and it honestly does make me feel bad sometimes to realize that i’m being labeled as larger than other stores. but there truly is nothing wrong with that. clothes are meant to fit your body.. it just depends on who makes them and their idea of how sizes work.

    When I'm tempted to keep clothes that are way too small, I always ask myself "If you lose XX pounds, are you really going to be excited about your old stuff or will you want to buy new stuff?" and that makes it easier to part with.

      @brattrox2939 Рік тому +11

      I would actually be excited about my old stuff lol, but I also went through all my clothes and measured them and stored them according to their real size so when I get to that size I can take out the pile and try some things on but I also don't constantly have them in my way when finding clothes to fit me currently so I'm not bothered everytime I enter my closet. It actually helps me lose weight because I'm more likely to get out and do things when I have clothes readily available that fit me and I'm ignoring the ones that don't, and I'll probably get rid of the clothes from my highschool years because I honestly don't want to be that size and I don't think it's attainable. If I lost weight and didn't have my old clothes, I would just make it work with the clothes that are too big for way too long because I hate shopping so that's why I just stored them XD

      There is nothing wrong with her body. She has a shorter more straight shape and she keeps picking outfits for taller leaner figures. But she does herself no service by constantly trying to put her body in outfits that are not meant for her body shape, size or height. Once she starts dressing for her body, not only will she look a lot more proportionate and slim, it'll make her feel better about herself. and will probably save her more money in the end.

      I really understand this. I remember being in middle school and wearing a size 6, while my friends all wore a 2-4. I *always* felt fat. Then came high school and I was then a size 10-12. And my friends never changed. It took many years of learning to accept my body is going to change many, many times in my life. I don’t want to regret not loving myself earlier. I hated my body at its smallest, and I don’t want that for myself. I don’t want to hate myself while i’m young, healthy, and beautiful. And if anyone, especially any youth, are reading this and feel called out, good. Love the way you are now so you don’t have any regrets later.

    A good piece of advice is to just get rid of it if you can’t fit it, PERIOD. The reason is bc if you keep it now, you’re taking up space for something that you can love AND fit. Your style will probably be different down the line anyway. And if you really want it that bad, sell it and buy one in your size!

Does that mean I now need to get rid of all the clothes that became too small for me because I gained a tonne of weight in a short time due to a bad mental state? Hell no because I want to fit into those clothes again some day. Even though it makes me feel like shit that I can't fit into them now, I was a much healthier weight when I did so why would I just throw my hand up and say "oh well" and get rid of it all?

    Thankyou so much for making these "when I'm skinny" videos. I've worked so hard to minimise my life's possessions to feel peace and I have achieved great things and moved on from 80% of my belongings in the past 3 years. BUT! now I find my largest category of possessions are clothes. Specifically clothes that are too small and too cute/vintage/limited edition/can't get again. I haven't touched them other than to move them around or fitted into them for 6 years now. They take up so much space physically and mentally and I just can't let go. I want to let go though, I want to live in the now. I'm just struggling. Watching you be so honest in these is motivating and I pray I can use these to help push me to make a jump and just cull.

    The way it is deep though, ever since I was little I’ve loved clothing and fashion and for years I had been collecting pieces to create my perfect wardrobe. When I gained weight initially I was heartbroken that I had outgrown some of my favorite pieces. But as I kept gaining weight, the more of my clothing didn’t fit me (and I actually have like no clothing left in my wardrobe). I’m literally traumatized to go through my closet again because the last time I just ended up breaking down and crying. Not to mention when you gain weight sometimes the styles you liked on yourself before seem like they don’t match your body anymore and you’ve got find new pieces that make you feel confident/comfortable. I absolutely love these videos you’ve released talking about this, it makes me feel less alone. And damn I’m gonna have to try watching these the next time I go through my closet so I can remember to be more positive about the process. Never stop being slay 💖

    i'm so proud of you. I held onto clothes within the past 3 years thinking that I would lose weight so I could fit them eventually too. But then I started to see my closet pile up and I took myself on a shopping spree to find clothes that flattered my body shape more to help me purge out the old stuff. Something that really helped me was thinking about how normal it was for my body to change in my mid 20's-early 30's, and working with a therapist to help me build my self esteem and confidence. For a long time I had trouble accepting that I was never going to be as skinny as I was in highschool, and that it's normal for women's' body types to change the older we get :) I really hope you take this opportunity to go out and try more comfortable feeling clothes for you that make you feel confident ❤ thank you for being so vulnerable with us.

    @iparedes710 Рік тому +6

    Fei, I think it’s so great that you are getting rid of clothes that are causing you emotional turmoil. I had a thought though, have you ever thought of getting some of them tailored? I know the things that were already 4x too small when you bought them need to go (it’s okay, we’ve all been there buying “i’ll wear this when i’m skinny” clothes). But the clothes that you’ve worn and love that are just a size or two too small i think it could be even more healing to get them upsized rather than tossing them!!
    I remember when i discovered this concept it completely changed how i see clothes. I recently learned that tossing clothes sometimes, even though on the surface is a good way to accept your body for how it looks, actually unintentionally make us believe that certain styles are only meant for certain body types and if we don’t have that body type we have to wear other clothes (like that story about you were telling about the lady and the peplum skirt). Your closet especially has so many interesting pieces that would be such a shame to get rid of and they would be such an easy fix, and it seems like you still feel attached to some of them. Same goes for downsizing, like with that nike skirt. Screw being “the right size” it’s all about the custom fit for every unique body!!
    That being said if this is the right way for you to heal and accept yourself once again that is amazing. This is just what was more effective for me, and i thought i’d pass it along and maybe save you a few bucks along the way.

    This was no doubt a really hard video to film and I want to send you all the love an support for even doing this on camera! Over the last 2 years I gained 10 pound and it is and was something really hard mentally I had to deal with and about a year ago I realized that things stopped fitting the way they did before so I hid them in a drawer and about 4 months ago I just got sick of having them there so I went through them and was able to donate what ever didn’t fit me but with that I learned a few things that I’d like to share bc they became really helpful to me when trying to get rid of clothes! First find an area in your house without a mirror and try it all on and if it won’t zip up it goes in the give away pile no exceptions and if it does zip up decide if it’s comfortable just by feel so sit down in it and just move around a bit! Once you have it narrowed down try the pieces that fit and are comfy on and maybe even make full outfits with the pieces and at that point you can see how it looks in the mirror and decide to keep or give away further ! It’s a really hard thing to do especially with pieces you really love but a lot of times if you focus less on how it looks and more on how it feels, you are more likely to make decisions that are better for your mental health and your body image! Again I know it isn’t just a simple thing to do but hopefully it on some level is helpful! Much love ❤️

    We have a very similar body type and I’m around an 8/10 right now. I’ve been a size 4 most of my adult life so it’s been really hard. I’m working on losing weight in a healthy way but girl I FEEL you about clothes defining your worth. I’m so short and I feel like even when something fits me I look like a kid trying on adult clothes (skirts specifically). Like where is my torso? Ohhh right it’s buried under my giant boobs. When you said you see other people at size 10 who look beautiful but that it’s not acceptable for your body that has been my entire narrative for the past 3 years and I just want to give you a big hug. This was such a healthy and therapeutic thing for you to do and for me to watch so thank you so much ❤ I’m also really into Kpop and I so badly want to feel good in those kinds of skirts but I feel a weird extra pressure to be suuuuper skinny because most Kpop idols are who dress like that.
    Anyway, I’m sending you lots of love and support ❤

    First off, great job for getting through this! You did an awesome job, even when you were starting to get frustrated. One thing I do when getting rid of clothes is ask myself when did I wear it last. If you haven't worn it in a long time or even never, toss it. I am the same, that *maybe* one day I will need this piece of clothing, but honestly when the time comes, I'd probably choose something else anyways. And as hard as getting rid of pieces you like is, just like you said in the end, clothes are meant to fit us. So don't be too hard on yourself, our bodies change, we change, life changes- if hanging onto something is bringing you negative emotions, it's not worth the pain to keep it. Sending you love

    I know I have said it before but your videos bring me a lot of joy. I am built just like you, and there ABSOLUTELY is not enough representation for our shape. No clothing sites feature our silhouette! This clothing comb through is refreshing. I did the same thing a little while ago and got rid of all the clothes I wore when I was 50lbs lighter (and 13 years younger lol) and it was really liberating.

    I’ve followed your channel for a long time now and seen your ups and downs. Positive mind is very important in order to pull through everything in life. This is just a thought and it’s your choice to follow: it’s important to keep a positive mind but do not fall into “okie I am happy about my current self so I don’t have to try hard anymore…” because with this mindset, you’ll gradually lose the discipline and fall back into the state you were before. Instead, when you have that sense of positivity, think to yourself “I’m happy with myself, but I know I can push myself a little more…I know I can do better..and I know I’ll feel even better than I am now…” it doesn’t have to be something big or painful to struggle with but just a little extra effort into the day that’s adding a bit more to the current routine. For example, if you’re studying and feel like you’re not into it, tell yourself, you know I know I can squeeze in 10 min each day just to look over briefly…” and then couple days later as you’re already incorporated this, you think positively “hey I actually got some study done…maybe I can do an extra 5 min to my study session so it’ll be 15 min study time…” same with body weight management…you can keep that positive mindset but still add some challenge to yourself… “hey I look good in this skirt..maybe if I just do 5 min sit-ups each day to my usual routine, I can make it look smoother on my body…it’s only 5 minutes..I can do this!” People fail to progress because they think they’re satisfaction with their current state is enough and they can slack off a bit since they don’t think they need to try hard anymore, but this is a very bad thing to lead yourself into. Life can only continue to have the feeling of self satisfaction and accomplishment when you manage to overcome a bit of an additional challenge each time. Without challenge, there’s no goal and no sense of achievement and you’re left with the pessimistic thoughts and feeling of “what am I doing with myself?” Anywho, you can take my 2 cents or leave it. It’s up to you. I just want to encourage a more productive thought and feeling in life.

    I totally feel you with this video. I just tried some of my clothes that I was able to wear last year… And it was terrible. I know I gained weight this year but trying on clothes I was fitting at the beginning of the year was really hard, especially because it is some of my favourite clothes and I felt so confident in it. I don't have a lot of clothes and I'm not able to buy more so I'm keeping them. It reminds me my goal, I want to, at least, get back to my previous weight, be healthy and able to wear these again.
    Thank you for making this video, you're very courageous and keep going, you're doing great !

    I've been thinking about purging my closet of those clothes that I've been holding onto as well and this video just inspired me to do it! I feel so gross trying on clothes sometimes, I hate seeing myself in the mirror. But recently, I've begun to buy clothes that truly fit me so I don't need to feel that way anymore. Thank you for the motivation, inspiration and courage to change this mindset!! 💜💜

    Fei you're so strong! I've been subscribed since maybe 2015 or '14? I can't quite remember. We're also around the same age and I feel like I grew with you!! I'll admit that I haven't watched your videos for a long while but you made so much progress and I hope you find it in you to not let these clothes define that. When getting rid of clothes that don't fit me, I treat it as an indication of spiritual and personal growth and the fact that the clothes appear to be "too small" is just the universe's sign to tell me "you have grown, you have matured, it is time to let go". You are so so so beautiful and worth so much more than these clothes.

    i get this honestly. i used to be a size 12 then lost weight and became an 8 and then recently gained some back so now i’m a 10 and it’s been hard because now the jeans i wore before dont fit me and it made me feel bad. currently on a journey for self love and weight loss (for other health issues not appearance) so it’s been rough.
    thank you for filming this! ik it must’ve been hard and know what you are beautiful no matter what size you are 🫂💗 currently trying to teach myself that message as well

    I loved this! As someone with no but and a tummy myself I appreciate it. Not everyone has an hourglass body shape! what I did was a gave my sister who is a little bit smaller than me a bunch of clothes to “borrow” until I fit them myself if I ever do. Atleast they are getting some use! I also have a container of clothes that don’t fit stored away and everything I didn’t want got donated. everything in my closet does fit so that really helps to only have stuff that fits accessible!

    thank you for this video. it feels nice to know that a lot of people deal with this. something that helped me was blaming the clothes instead of blaming my size/body. instead of "i'm too fat for this" i changed it to "this is the wrong size/too small" and buying new clothes that fit properly was actually stress relieving. the dread of not feeling good in my clothes is gone.

  • @catherinevillalobosolaguez9460

    To see someone who has the same body type as me and see that they go through the same thing of keeping clothes and waiting until I'll lose weight helps me see that I'm not alone. You are beautiful Fei and hopefully with time I'll realize I'm beautiful too :)

    This is incredible. This is something I experienced for the first time in my life after gaining some weight during the pandemic. I bought a pair of black skinny jeans and slowly they stopped fitting, granted they were veryyyyy tight to start. I finally got rid of them last year and instead bought a pair of regular black jeans to wear that I felt more comfortable in. It was hard because I never, never had to let clothes go because of my weight before, separate from growing as a kid. Thank you for sharing, it feels good to know I isn't alone.

    Faye, you’re like me! I gained weight recently and it came as a bit of a shock to me at first but then I know that as an adult human being, gaining weight is natural. I always say to myself “You gained weight. That’s true. Oh well, congratulations, I’m human!” Btw I wanna mention that you really have good taste and I love your sense of style. You’re very fashionable! I would love to see a follow up video where you go thrifting for new skirts to replace and make up for the skirts you added to your posh mark and let go. It’s okay! You still a baddie and as a fellow short girl omg mini skirts sometimes fit me perfectly cuz regular long skirts see always too long/too tall for my short legs. Love you girl! You’re awesome! 💕

A tip that I heard (I can't remember where ㅠ.ㅠ) was if you try it on and find something wrong with it, you'll use that as an excuse to not wear it later. I totally found myself doing that!! I had to pass it along. You're so beautiful, I love to see you create a wardrobe that makes you feel confident!

    Literally did this yesterday night. I came to terms with the fact that my body will never go back to how I was when I could fit them. Luckily I've got cousins to hand those down to (if they want any) so it makes it a little easier to let them go.

    I had that same yellow plaid skirt from urban and it was my FAVOORIITTE but sadly covid did me dirty and I gained so much weight especially in my tummy area that it just didn't fit the way it used to anymore 😞 It was so tough finally coming to the conclusion that I had to give it up, but seeing this video and seeing you part ways with clothes that hold so much sentimental value to you was super therapeutic and made me feel like I wasn't the only one. You've inspired me to clean out my closet of any clothes I've been hanging on to that make me less than what I am! Thank you Fae 💕💕

So good job fei and I’m really proud of u. someone said our closet should be full of clothes that fit us and make us comfortable not make us hate ourselves more we also deserve to wear comfy clothes.

    Thank you so much for posting this video and being so vulnerable. Have you considered learning how to sew? It's not going to happen overnight but the styles that you like are very simple to make once you know the basics and it's completely changed the way I view my body. There is a STEEP curve to get over the measurements thinking they should be smaller/different in certain places but once you get clothes that fit how you expect them to, it's life changing. Wishing you all the best on your continued self love journey
