OUT OF THE CLOSET! on overhaul clean-up and giveaway...
THE BULKY CLOTHING THAT IS.... out of the closet it goes!!!
if it is bulky ... it is out!
if it is woolly ... it is out!
if it is wintry ... it is out!
leather, suede, cashmere, faux fur .. it is out!
boots ..out!
all fall/winter .. OUT!!! and not for storage either ...
It is a clean-up giveaway ... no costs no strings attached ... as plans are underway to relocate back home I am not anticipating another winter ... and if things don't work as planned and should we remain another winter I will just have fun shopping around again for new winter duds ...
It is all good ... getting rid of the bulk and cleaning out the closet ... for a clean-up giveaway...
While I was at it and only managing to attack a portion of one closet I found a few duds that I forgot I even had ...... one outfit I wore back in December of 2008 at my lowest weight post surgery ...where my face was looking drawn ... I wore it yesterday rocking it for the same fit at my maintenance ideal weight four years after ... and another that I wore in May of 2010 .. this outfit I have on today ... I rocked it at an early 5 am breakfast meeting with our OH sista from BAF MSW will not Settle ... for the same fit...
I have kept track of my journey in a digital empowerment journal that I named A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away .... it is a GOOFY TOOL THAT I MADE UP ... and guess what? it is working for me .... one.day.at.a.time ... a picture at a time .... and my DH has fun with my silliness and so does my family and ME ... it is all good...
I made a collage of the outfits I wore ... the are are here in my blog and in my empowerment journal ... from the day I was able to get up post RNY and my post op complication that had me down for the first three months and change I have taken a picture a day ... of me... my journey... my food... my pets ... whatever was in my lens' way LOL ...
This is my collage of the outfits worn in 2008, 2010, yesterday 4/16 and today 4/17/2012...
This is the collage I posted in my OH Photo area in May of 2010....
This is me at work this morning in a Before and After Weight loss surgery collage wearing that very same outfit today ... same fit ... MAINTAINING FOR LIFE ... ONE.DAY.AT.A.TIME.... I love love love my empiric goofy tool ... it is fun...
When I am 95 years old I want to look at my journey pictures and say ... WOW Martita ... you were such a goofy old fool ... but look at you today ... 95 and running the trail WOOT!
Me yesterday wearing an outfit I wore 4 eyars ago at my lowest recorded weight post RNY ... As long as I have health and mobility I am happy as a lark and I am keeping the feeling ... being mindful of my choices and living my life to the fullest healthy and mobile... and with five co-morbidities in remision ....
Okay ... this was just a goofy good for nothing post ... just to encourage myself and maybe someone else on the journey ... it is not about looking good or wearing clothes ... it is all about getting healthy and staying healthy unless unforeseen cir****tances .... it is all good ... when I went under the knife I asked for HEALTH AND MOBILITY .... and I got just what I asked for and I love the feel ....
Wishing an awesome and wonderful day to ALL!!!
