Give away a bunch of clothes I've been meaning to give away for a long time

2 – count em – TWO BIG 30 gallon sized garbage bags went to good will. My mom came over and gave me moral support as I dug through pile after pile and box after box, trying things on… I was trying on clothes that I wore in HIGH SCHOOL!!!! I’m 34 years old and I still had clothes in boxes that I bought in high school!

Anyway, MAJOR PURGE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, the last element of this goal is to sort through one small box of “maybe’s” and “mends” and “consignment?” stuff, that was too fancy to give to good will.

This goal is almost completely and totally finished.

HOLY COW. I’m amazed at the difference in my bedroom. SOOOO worth it.

and though I have a problem with getting rid of clothes because I’m always concerned about money and having to buy new clothes – I kept saying to myself “Have I ever looked good in this? Would I buy it right now?” and managed to get another bag filled up.

I want to MAKE ROOM for good new things to come into my life! All this ugly clutter and old clothes are keeping new things from coming into my life – including new clothes! Maybe money for new clothes!

I’m scared, because I know I’ve re-gained the weight every time I’ve ever lost it in the past…. but seriously, I’m nearly 35! How many more times do I plan to lose and regain the same 25 lbs? I think it’s time for me to put my foot down and DECIDE that I WILL NOT REGAIN THE WEIGHT this time. I’m making a lifestyle change and I’m not going to give myself the option of regaining the weight by holding onto the big-girl clothes.

Tomorrow, I am going to go through my piles of clothes and put the Size 12 and larger into a bag for good will. And even the fancy suits and dresses – I’ll bring those to a consignment store. I’m not going to keep them anymore.

it’s a start
