The bad news is that I had to spend money for a new coat for this year. The good news is that it is a size smaller than my old coat. It could be that it is a different style, but it still made me feel pretty good!
I had to do the same and my coat was pretty much new ... felt good I couldn't get away with it because it drowned me but not so good having to go deeper into the bank balance for clothes Summer was much cheaper when I needed to drop a size!
If the old one is still good, sell it to use for the new one. New sizes are great. I love the fact that even though I lost a ton of weight I can still wear my winter coat. It is huge, fluffy and completely warm. Now instead of a pumpkin trapped in it I look like a normal person.
