On purging too small clothing....I think it really depends. After having
my first child I saved several pairs of jeans for YEARS hoping to be
able to fit into them again. This was a little unrealistic for me
because my body did seem to change a bit and I don't think I ever would
have fit into them again unless I got anorexic-thin. Not using pregnancy
as an excuse, but it did seem like my hip bones did shift or spread or
whatever.....LOL! 
And nobody was even wearing this style of jeans anymore anyway, so I
finally felt ok about giving them to Goodwill! LOL! 

I do have some clothing that I COULD wear if I lost a bit of weight - I
am talking 10-20 pounds. And it is all stuff that is pretty "current"
fashion-wise. IMO this is the kind of stuff that is worth hanging
onto....as long as they are pieces you really do like. 

If it is out of style or a long, long way to go to fit into it....forget
it, I say! LOL!
