Purge the closet Day! Time has come Cyber Monday



Recommended Posts

As i close in to the end of the weight loss journey, Actually kinda really content with my current size, But according to all the Calculators and apps still need a dozen more pounds, It is time .................................

So for those of you who have not seen my rebel post - I decided when i did the surgery to not buy clothes or get a hair cut and shave only when i could not handle it any more!

Yes i showered and stayed clean just took the attitude lets be a homeless vagabond clean beach bum during this journey to add a little excitement and variety. I have two teenagers and this was fun to piss them off - So for the first 75 pounds stood strong to my Game.

I can take a size 50 pair of cargo shorts and with two zip ties, pull two belt loops together, add a binder clip and i got some 40's - so the shirt is huge and baggy, No problem just do a side pull and a piece of masking tape and you are good to go! Lets not discuss the seamstress miracles i can do with binder clips and clothes pins!

So finally i have decided to come back to earth! and End the game - For the last couple months i have added a few clothes that fit but now its time, I have a huge walk in closet filled with clothes, so off to home depot to get lawn and leaf bags we went yesterday, 9 Bags later i have a empty closet! It was kinda Sad, Some of my favorites i have had for years! But the time has come to let it go, I keep two complete outfits from when i was the biggest and sealed them in a vacuum seal bag for later viewing.

Went to my Barber shop today and he laughed ..... he was like WTF. Since i have had short hair my whole life - He asked what he should do/ BUZZ CUT LETS GET ER DONE!

I have the advantage over most of you living in Naples Florida, You can do the beach bum look and fit right in. Feel weird today and this was a event i was looking forward to but actually was kinda sad and strange.

Moral of the story - There is none, Just enjoy the journey and enjoy the throwing everything out. I actually donated all my stuff today - but its just a part of the journey !

Time to wreck the AMEX card on Cyber Monday getting clothes

I am kind of new here and a little on the shy side but this is so amazing. Thank you for sharing this! I have not had surgery yet but am looking forward to the day when I can get rid of clothes that are too big this time instead of giving away clothes that are too little for me cause I’ve gotten too big.
enjoy shopping!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
