Getting rid of bigger clothes............

  Going through all of my clothes that don't fit anymore (which is just about everything)  Yeaaaaah..........still seems so hard to get rid of.   Everytime I put something in a box to give away, I think maybe I should keep it, I might need it.  Then I remember........  I'm never gonna be able to wear it again!!!!!  It feels like you are dumping an old friend.  Don't get me wrong, I have packed up boxes taller than I am, about 4 times and got rid of them.  I don't have much left, only clothes that have been given to me, or those that I have held onto that were too small. I am so in the mood to clean out closets, I have cleaned out all of the kitchen cabinets, the coat closet in the LR, the boys closets and the utility room.  Trent has been threatened if he doesn't do his soon, I will.  I'm geting rid of everything.  If we don't wear it now, bye bye to it.  The boys said, just because I couldn't wear my clothes, didn't mean I had to give theirs away. I guess I never realized how much emotions and security issues were associated with my clothes........I know, whaaaaa huh? Just thought I'd share. Deb

Sounds like you will be needing to go shopping. Think of all the smalller things you can now fit into. you are doing so great. we are all so proud of you.

If you see me on the side of the road at a stop sign, holding a sign asking for money, for clothes, please throw me a dollar.  Trust me, you don't want to see me naked without any clothes. Thanks Rose, you all are my back bone. Deb

awwwwwwwwwwww Deb.....   lol I spent all my $$ at thrift stores getting clothes.   That is a lot of fun.  Do you have many of those near where you live?   You can get some great fashionable items at the places here.  Its truly hit or miss though.   And you have to be willing to sew a button or two, and dry clean or wash EVERYTHING.     I cant wait to move there and thrift shop and go wine tasting with you!!   xo

Good morning girl. I try so hard to go shopping at the thrift store...I just hate taking the time to go through every little thing.  I surface shop in there.   I have found some cool stuff, but I am so lazy.  Maybe you can show me how to do it.

it can be TEDIOUS.... but it can be fun... especially if you can get REALLY SILLY while you are there......  !!! xo :) (and not to mention get TOP DESIGNER STUFF FOR under $5!)    lol

LOL! Don't feel alone on this issue, I am having the same problem.I already have two big bags of clothes packed up and I still have the entire closet to go through, since more stuff has gotten bigger since I went through it last. Those two big bags are still in my spare bedroom and I am having a difficult time getting rid of them. I keep thinking the way you do, that I might need them again, lol, then I tell myself that I won't ever need them again... and I keep playing the same old senerio over and over. I just need to load them up and go to a clothes exchange or yard sale them, then take the left overs to Goodwill, but then I think  about all the money I had spent on those clothes. Geez, nothing is ever simple, especially when I should be jumping up and down over the fact they don't fit anymore, lol. Take care! Mary

As I was going through 6 big boxes last night, I kept taking things out saying, maybe I'll keep this.  By the end of it all, I made myself get rid of it all.  That was hard.  I felt good when I put on the smaller stuff this morning to go to the gym, and still one pair of shorts I put on, I had to put in the give away box. We can do this.....My Name is Debbie and I'm hooked on clothes

hey Debbie thats a good thing to get rid of the bigger clothes... Yeah for you.. You looking great. I hope to see you all soon. I've been sick with strep throat and my kids too.                            Have A Great Day                                                Sharon

I've missed you, haven't been to a meeting in a couple of weeks.  I have been so busy with these kids.  Some of it is my fault too, I get to doing so much at home and go to the gym at 5:30 in the morning, by the time 6pm gets here, I am out of physical gas.I will be there this week though.  I am taking the boys and some of their friends to the beach in the day time, then coming there later on.
