Getting the junk out of my trunk, literally

At the beginning of every spring, I have always done the winter/summer clothes switchover, swearing to myself : "I won't be this size NEXT winter!"  This has always been immediately followed by the afterthought: "I better keep all these clothes, just in case I don't follow through." 

It's nice to know that the winter of 2015-16 is the last one in which I'll be putting size 22 pants into a storage tub. 

On my way back to being me.

Don't store them.  Give them away or take to a consignment shop.

That was the whole point of my thread here. I don't NEED to store them now. I am not a hoarder. Lol

I held onto my "fat" clothes for 3 years.  I was so worried that the minute I got rid of them I would gain the weight back.  I finally got rid of them 3 years ago and guess what....I didn't gain the weight back!!!

Over the years I had tabs of cloths -2 -3 sizes in every tub.. Stored...just in case. Anything from 4 to 2X.. Every sea on I used to decide what tube I am opening and which stay closed. 

Last 7 years, I keep sizes in my closet.   But year to year - even with some variation, most of my clothes fit ... 

In the past - I was getting rid of clothes that don't fit. Now - I need to get rid of some because I have too many... Or because I am bored with ithem. A brand new concept.

I got rid of my entire closet...  I didn't even look back when I did it this time.  I had been given a bunch of "new" clothes that I needed to put somewhere so my daughter helped me get rid of everything!!  I KNOW I'm not going back - besides...  some of those styles were so out of date!  haha!

I kept my smaller clothes in case I ever got the weight off and that is saving me a ton of money now.  However as soon as I leave a size I donate everything.  I don't want any more "fat" clothes in my house.
