go through my things, get rid of or donate anything I am not using

I did a huge spring cleaning this past week and got rid of a bunch of old clothes that don’t fit or I don’t wear anymore. I also (with great sorrow and hesitation) gave away all but a few of my stuffed animals and toys :(

This weekend I think I will go through all my clothes and be realistic with myself. I am a long way from my weight loss goal, and I have some clothes that are smaller sizes that I won’t fit in for a while. Those can go to goodwill. I will keep a few for motivation, but I think it’s delusional to keep 6 outfits I won’t fit in for another 6-12 months.

This will clear out a lot of clutter.

I had three boxes of just plain crap that I wasn’t using stacked in my bedroom. Yesterday I went through a ton of stuff and now I only have two! This weekend I will take care of the rest. It’s so liberating to get rid of some of this old stuff and give it away to someone who will actually use it. I did find some very super sentimental things that don’t have any use but I just can’t pull myself away from them. I also found some stuff I will give my mom because she would kill me if she found out I threw away “The Big Book of Tracy” that I made in the 5th grade.

I can be a real pack rat. I know I have TONS of stuff I don’t even look at anymore, much less put to any sort of use. This weekend or next while I’m cleaning my house I am going to finally sit down with all my junk and make a huge donation to Goodwill of all the crap I don’t need anymore. I will TRY very very hard to even get rid of some or a lot of the stuff I keep around for solely nostalgic purposes. Maybe I will take a picture – they take up less space.
