I'm issuing a weekend challenge

I'm issuing a weekend challenge.

To all of you who have clothes that are TOO BIG in your closet (Laura-ven, I'm looking at you, too)... GET RID OF THEM!!!

You will never need them again. Do not hold on to these clothes as a back-up plan! Plan to succeed!

I'm going to take a look in my closet and dresser and make three piles:

-keep because it fits me, is comfortable, and looks good on me

-throw it away because no one else would want that nasty old/dirty/torn/worn out thing anyways, and

-donate! I always found it frustrating when the only plus size things at Salvation Army were muumuus. My nice things will go directly there.

Good luck, and God speed! Challenge accepted.

Do it, and do it right!

    You are psychic girl! I just cleaned out my closet (for the 4th time since surgery - had a wide variety of sizes in there) and the bags are in the back of the car to bring to Salvation Army tomorrow!

We're all working hard to lose the weight - wearing old baggy clothes not only makes us feel schlumpy - we look bigger than we are in them.

Good for you two! I was noticing the other day that some of my shirts that fit me 100lbs heavier still fit... My husband said "uh... sweetie? They really really don't fit anymore. You just think they do." whoops!

Haha!! I was just folding some clothes to add to the pile! You got me!!!

I've been eyeing my summer clothes that are coming up. I don't have enough warm-weather clothes to do laundry only once a week.

Shopping time!

(Holds up hands) Alright...you got me!! lol...yesterday I wore a pair of capri pants that were 24 and I'm down to about 18/20 regular in most "bottoms". I felts kinda embarassed all day at work to be honest. They were very baggy on my butt and thighs, lol. I thought to myself "You really need to give your stuff away that is now too big girl...ummmm, let them go!" I'm with ya. I'll do it Saturday. I don't believe in throwing them away cause no matter how messed up we think they look, someone is always in need (unless it's stained really badly or has blood or something on it of course)

I agree about donating even the rough stuff, but I have gardening shirts that are quite literally unwearable. Stretched out, stained, unraveled seams, etc. THOSE went in the trash. As did old period panties. Can I say that outside of the 'powder room'? yep. I just did.

Good for you! Saturday it is!
