Uhm....Wow....

I just finished going through my closet, knowing that I had to get rid of a "few more things..."  Not so much -- I have very little left.  I had cleaned it out around New Year's to the tune of 12 large trash bags full that went to Goodwill.  Today's clean up with even larger bags has net 4 for Goodwill.  I cannot believe how empty my closet looks!  BUT  that is a good thing!  Between that, realizing that I no longer have to wear my tops outside of my pants...I can tuck the top in and look just fine and  shopping at Victoria's Secret easily...yeah...uhm...wow...  :) 

WOW is right.  Your deed is done.  Now you just have to fill it back up with new clothes and your drawers with some lacey and of course smaller skivvies.  :)  We must have been on the same wavelength today.  I also did a closet cleaning project.  I pulled out everything I can't wear and made four piles:  Dressy, Casual, Donations, and Trash.  I was a bit bummed by my trash pile because I was hoping to find a few shirts for a fellow OH'er but with my boob food magnets, I couldn't exactly pass along all my grease stained tops.  But at least I tried.  Most of the donations for now, are winter clothes.  I'm going to hold onto them until the fall and then donate so they don't just trash them because no one is buying long sleeved shirts now.  I do have quite a few more bags of clothes in my storage area, but am glad to have at least gotten through the closet for now.  :)  Oh and if I can do a few loads extra loads of laundry tomorrow I'm going to try and get my pants washed and ready for the clothing exchange at our support group meeting this week.  That should be fun, I hope that I can find a few things for myself.  For me pants has been the main issue along the journey because I can just wear a shirt a bit baggy, but pants start to look like droopy drawers and then they've got to GO.  I hope I can help tide over a couple of people the same way I've been doing.

You are so funny -- boob food magnet!  hahaha  I know what you mean -- many a stained top here for the same reason.  You'd think it would bounce off or something....  :)  We must have been on the same wavelength!  I have to admit, it is a great feeling...sure beats having to give away the smaller sizes, doesn't it?  I'll have to start hinting about filling up the closet again....maybe I can even convince my hubby that my feet are smaller and I need to have new shoes too...hmmm...and purses....oh, and yeah....jewelry?!?!?!  :)

Go for it.  You need smaller clothes, small shoes, new purses (because of all that excercise you've been doing you can afford to carry a larger handbag or maybe two!), and new jewlery for a smaller neck, wrist and finger.  I think you can justify it all.  hee hee  :)

I like the way you think!  Maybe we can do a big WLS group shopping spree...think we can get discounts for being frequent purchasers (like frequent flyer miles)???  Just a thought....haha   :)

I cleaned out clothes today too! I really need to go to Victoria's Secret and I love being able to tuck my shirt in. What a great feeling!

It is!  It's been a long, long time!  :D  Today must have been THE day for closets, huh?  hehe...  Spring's in the air, I guess!

Way to go Cindy.  Hit up those sales, clearance racks, consignment shops, etc.  Fill that closet.

Thanks, I am planning on it!  :)

Good pm! We must all be doing this to make room for MORE! LOL! I've been plugging away at closets, the attic and garage. Its such a great feeling to be able to spot things and have them be in our size! All best!
