Absnasm has high apple-pie in the sky hopes for 2010!

Purge my house of anything that isn't necessary, beloved or beautiful, and get rid of it any way I can (read all 27 entries…)
Another load off. 12 months ago

This morning I went through my underwear drawer and dragged out 16 unpartnered or holey socks, and a solitary black glove. Where does this stuff come from? More pertinently, where did the other halves go?

Yesterday I took a huge box of unwanted stuff and five assorted and unneeded CD racks to the charity shop. The space created was immediately filled by the arrival of a huge box containing my fella’s Christmas present. I shall take this as proof of the theory that when you get rid of the junk in your life, it makes space for new shiny fun things to plug the gap.

If only I could gather the mental strength and honesty to purge my wardrobe of all the clothes that are now two (or more) sizes too small for me. I wonder what would fill that gap.

they don’t have so many bridges to live under these days, so half-empty wardrobes are liable to troll squatters.

Hm.

I’m not sure whether I’d rather have trolls than too-small clothes. Maybe if I could train them to help out around the house and perform entertaining skits for me.

I thought

that’s what HA was for? O.o

I do have a fair few ‘too tight’ clothes in my wardrobe, which are supposed to be motivating. I did have a wardrobe full of definitely too-small stuff back at my dad’s for YEARS, and it was hugely cathartic to chuck ‘em all out finally. It’s never about moving backwards, is it?

He keeps me plenty entertained...

..but some trolls would still be fun. They could do acrobatics and stuff.

Yeah, I’m unconvinced of the motivating qualities of too-tight (or, in my case, can no-longer-even-get-them-up-my-thighs) clothes. Mine just sit there mocking me for being a fatty and a failure. The thing is, I do actually like a lot of them, and I would wear them if they fit, so I’m loath to get rid. Perhaps I could put them into another room, and make space in my wardrobe for clothes that fit me and look good as I am now. At the moment I am pretty much rotating the same four pairs of jeans and a couple of dresses for going out, and I don’t really have anything else that fits me. But waiting till I’m thin to treat myself nicely is just ridiculous. I should be loving and accepting towards myself at any weight.
