Cleaned my closet - it played on my mind.

Hey!

Over the weekend - I cleaned out my closet of all my old sizes and getting my clothes ready for a local plus size consignment shop. As I was cleaning I got weird waves of "o’ my God" - I can't believe I can get rid of these clothes and kept measuring them up to my body to ensure I wasn't delusional.

It’s been so many years that my sizes were going up and up and I had to buy clothes for occasions and work as I needed them. Don’t get me wrong its great feeling to say goodbye to the larger sizes but I just had this overwhelming feeling of disbelief that I am finally losing weight.

I guess I can say I am afraid – but at the same time loving the change and good health!

Thanks I need to unload that!

  • I totally understand. I freak when I fold my new sized clothes, I see them and wonder whose they are. Then I figure they shrunk in the wash!

I've been cleaning my closet recently, too. It is a trip. I see these clothes that I wore for years and am amazed by how big they are. And I also am realizing that some stuff was just damned ugly.

It has been liberating to part with this stuff. I don't want it around. I definitely don't need the reminder and I don't want to be tempted to let my weight float back up. We all know how easily that can happen!

It was a bit startling to realize how few clothes I actually have. It will be that way for a while since I don't want to buy a lot of clothes in any one size until I am at goal or at least where I am going to be. I have realized, though, that I look much better in the clothes I have to continually recycle than I ever did in all of the huge crap in my closet. Thanks band! Best $10K I ever spent.
