Well, today was so much FUN! I went through ALL of my clothes and tossed anything that didn't fit! It was amazing to see how many jeans / shorts / shirts were JUST TOO BIG!!!!! I will admit - I do have a pair of shorts from pre-pregnancy that I just can't get rid of and I tried them on for shits and grins. THEY FIT!!!!! They weren't exactly 'flattering' by any stretch of the imagination, but they fit! I WILL be wearing them this summer! WOOT! It doesn't even matter that they are SO 90's!!! :) I'm busting those babies out! It was also fun to toss that swimsuit that LAST year looked like CRAP on me - now it literally HANGS off of me! I then put my slightly-tight one on and it looks GREAT! WOW!
As I was cleaning out my closet I was thinking about how everything in my life has been making me fat. I find when I have too much stuff, stacked here and there, it keeps me from losing weight. Does that happen to anyone else??? Have I stayed fat because the clothes that fit me were fat clothes? Now that I have smaller clothes in my closet (and a much smaller amount of them) will it be easier for me to lose weight and then maintain when I'm at that point? I sure hope so!
Along that same vein I've been getting rid of a lot of stuff in my life in general. I mean, for real, why do I need a junk drawer? If it's junk it needs to GO! I went through all of my toiletries last week and I've discovered I have enough shampoo to last all of my days on earth! (Anyone need any shampoo??? :) Going through things and tossing what I don't need feels good. Same with tossing the weight I don't need. Feels DAMN good to shed it, get rid of it, TOSS IT!!!!
The next thing I'm going to tackle is my desk. The junk / paperwork / bills that sit on it never seem to go away!. My desk and the kitchen table are officially my nemesis'!!! I have what you would call 'flat surface disease' - if there's a flat surface I've most likely stacked just about everything I can find on it! Just one more thing that makes me fat!
So - I'm banishing anything that chunks me up! Out with the junk, in with the peace. I will feng shui my home and my body. Instead of collecting doo-dads which take up space and use up my money, I will allow items to flow through my life so they can collect somewhere else - not surrounding me and keeping me fat! In fact - before I go downstairs I will take 10 minutes and take care of the bills on my desk. One less thing to do tomorrow!

Its just a concept "cleaing out your closet" the feeling of getting rid of clotes that are too big or "hang" off. Its saying good bye to the old you and hello to a new person!
ReplyDeleteI love getting rid of junk. I think its healthy to "cleanse" occasionally :)
I love how up beat you are and how positive you are!!!
