Snowed In and Need to Get Rid of Fat Stuff

Im glad im not the only one who felt come kind of way abou letting go of stuff. The little sabbatoge voice in the back of the mind says "dont get too zealolus getting rid of all them clothes." But I got alot done today in the closet. When the ice melts Im taking them to Dress for Success, and Crisis Assistance ministry....Now if my feet start shrinking and I gotta give away shoes there is gonna be a problem!!

FreeS......pitch those clothes and free your mind!  Decide you will not go back!  Ive purged about 3-4 times since the surgery.  I've blessed a lady in my office with an entire new wardrobe from the first purge.  The other times I've blessed my sorors HIV/AIDS organization with professional gear for her clients to wear to job interviews.  I am a frugal person.  I'm not spending major money on transtional clothing, so I've had a great time shopping the consignment shops and Goodwill for my gear until I reach goal.  I've replenished my closet through 4 different sizes for less than a $100 bucks!!  I've found such treasures as fullly lined Ann Taylor Loft pants, a gorgeous BeBe red dress, designer jeans, blouses, and capris all with tags on still.  It''s a great time now too because everyone has unloaded their closets last month for the tax credits. 

So free your mind and closet, then go treat yourself to a shopping spree (on a budget even) !!

Im halfway done. I guess too I was worried about being able to afford more clothes. My life has changed in the past couple of years and not able to constantly shop like I used to. But I suppose as I get smaller I will be able to find clothes at goodwill that fit.

I was lucky...My mother is a 22-24...I was a 24 before surgery...I gave her a WHOLE new wardrobe...My 3 sisters vary...one is a 16 the other a 12 and the older of the three is a 4-6...The younger two got my second round of clothers...

I now can fit as low as a 6 but my primary clothe are 8's and my 10's are lose but can pass... I will keep ALL of my dresses and anything in a 8 but when I make it to goal I will clean out the closet once more.

Yeah, ive heard that the smaller sizes 5 ponds can make a big diference in what fits....These large sizes..damn! It takes 5o pounds to get out of a size!! I guess they make big sizes with room to grow!! lol

Five pounds does make a difference of a size for me now.  Consignment and thrift shops are great places to shop and if you just keep popping in and checking them out you can find some real bargains.
