I went through all the drawers and the closet today and got rid of a LOT of clothing...….. and I found quite a few pieces that I had been saving and that actually fit now! It sure opened up a lot of closet space and feels so good to fit into things I haven't worn in years. It was a real morale booster, as this has been a "hungry" day. Seeing all those clothes going out the door reminded me to stay strong and not even think about cheating.

I started doing this. I’ve been up and down the weight loss journey before and have so much. I threw away four bags and donated 7 so far and found sooo much I can now wear or almost wear. But I haven’t touched my smaller sizes yet. Did the same with shoes and now buying new shoes ??

Isn't that a GREAT feeling? Woo-hoo new clothes!

We moved last year and I did a major purge of clothes that were too small. Now could smack myself . I told myself most would be out of style and I could always buy new but still remembering one awfully cute pair of pants ??‍♀️

So I am starting to make a donate clothing pile. It’s weird though mentally since I’ve been down 30-40 lbs. over the past 10 years and have kept 4 sizes. So now it seems strange to commit to getting rid of a size I will never again wear verses in the past putting them towards the back. In the past I guess it was almost mentally setting myself up fir failure knowing I had jeans that would fit if/when I regained 30 pounds.

oh, gee, you mean our feet change sizes after we lose weight? I guess I assumed not as wide but smaller shoes?

That is one part I’m looking forward to is buy new shoes!
