In the Words of Eminem... I'm Cleaning out My Closet

Feb 10, 2009

So I've been putting it off and putting it off, but tonight I finally did it! I cleaned out my closets... yes plural, I have two. That's how many articles of clothing I have or had. I was/am completely terrified of throwing out my "big clothes". Why you may ask? Well I've lost weight in the past and have always gained it back. I'm having a hard to time convincing myself that this will be any different. But it will, I know it will be! I must admit that I actually shed a tear when I was cleaning out my closet, there were actually a few articles of clothing that I know are way to big but I couldn't part with. Ridiculous I know. But I feel better knowing they are still hanging in my closet. I don't have a whole lot of clothes left but I can actually find them in my closet now. Before, the ding dang thing was so packed, I was afraid the rack was going to come away from the wall and crash to the ground. So are you wondering how many bags I filled with clothes??? Well if you aren't, I'm going to tell you anyway.... 11! 11 trash bags of clothes. WOW! I was sick at the amount that still had tags. I'd never ever worn them. What a waste! Now the hardest part is going to be dragging these 11 bags to the Salvation Army to donate. I went to the Salvation Army today and got some pants for 5 bucks. It was awesome! Even better, they were name brand... Ann Taylor, Express, Old Navy! The Salvation Army, is A. Cheaper than Goodwill B. Doesn't smell as bad as Goodwill and C. The Salvation Army is a Christian company. I know that by donating my clothes there, the profits they make will go to a company that Glorifies God! AMEN! I've been trying not to buy pants at every size because I'm on a budget, but when you've lost so much that they won't even stay up and you have a saggy butt, you kind of have to. With Salvation Army prices, I can afford to buy at every 2 sizes or so, that's what I've been doing. Buying every 2 sizes. At 1 size down, you can still pull it off, but at 2 sizes too big, you start to look sloppy and I hate that! Check out the photo of the pile of clothing bags! Crazy huh?
