Spring Closet Cleaning

This weekend I did what I have never done before. I cleaned out my closet. I've held onto size 16 to size 26 jeans/slacks/capris for years. I would go up and down and I would always have some back up clothes to go to. Well, not anymore. I got rid of all my size 20-26. I can still wear some of my 18's but I can fit into my size 16 jeans now. I loaded up bags and bags full of clothes and dropped them off at the Planet Clothes depositories that we have here in town. Looking back in hindsight I see we have a clothes trade forum here and should have donated them to someone who might have needed them. I will definitely do that next time!

 

I just feel so good b/c I am letting go of things. I'm learning to be more confident and in becoming that new me, I let go of the security blanket of 'what if". You know, what if I gain the weight back and need those clothes? NOPE! Not going to happen!

 

I'm hoping my next step in this journey will be getting off of the medicines I have to take now.

 

One day at a time, one pound as it goes, I'm getting healthier and that's what I chose!

Gastric Sleeve Patients

I just wanted to let you know that I'm new, only been sleeved for about a month but reading your entry was very significant to me because those are the exact proportions I want to lose. I want to be a size 16 but I'm currently a 24 but I'm focused. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad that the gibberish I write in my blogs can be relatable to others who have gone through WLS. Change is hard, but empower yourself. Make your goal your mantra. You got this!

Keep me updated on your progress. :)
