Why can't I get rid of my 'fat clothes'?

Over the past 8 years I have lost about 35kg... I put about 15kg back on over the past 4 years, having children, being lazy etc. However now I have lost 11kg and feel quite sure that I'll get rid of the last few kilos. I'm not having any more kids, so apart from laziness and bad habits I won't have any more reasons for putting the weight back on.
I am however, finding it hard to part with some of my 'fat clothes'. I need the wardrobe space and they don't fit me anymore, but I can't seem to bring myself to throw them out! They're mostly clothes I bought when I was still living in the UK and are pretty good quality... I suppose at the back of my mind I think that if I put weight back on, I will kick myself for not having kept them- and as I've yo-yo'd up and down for the past few years, it's been quite handy to have a wardrobe in various sizes!
I think I need a stern talking to!!

i was going to suggest keeping one of your biggest pairs of jeans, just to remind you how much you've lost. Ebay the rest or charity shop it, you dont want to option of putting the weight back on and having clothes that will fit, that way if you feel your current jeans getting tight you can do something about it. I will allow you to keep the wedding dress, if you have one.
