My security clothes are being tossed
I just got done cleaning out my dresser and closet. I’m finally getting rid of anything that doesn’t fit. If it is shorts or other summer wear, I’m getting rid of it even if it does fit. By next summer, it won’t fit. I’m making that promise to myself. And they’re really leaving the house this time. Tomorrow on my way to the gym, I’m dropping them off at Goodwill and if it isn’t something worth saving, it will be in the trash tonight.
I’m making the commitment to never gain the weight I’ve lost back and each time I need to buy new clothing to fit, I will get rid of the old before the new is finished washing. I cannot keep these things around “just in case.” That “just in case” has happened a little too often. Besides, it’s kind of depressing to have a basket full of laundry and realize that it’s only a couple pair of pants, a couple shirts and a towel!
What prompted this? Well, I stepped on the scales this morning and I’ve gained 6 pounds! I realize that most of it is probably hormones, but some of it is from stress eating. I cannot allow that to happen, but there are no real consequences if I do because I just put on my larger clothes and nothing is tight. Well, no more. I’m through gaining and losing and gaining and . . .
BTW, this month’s issue of Prevention is pretty good. Seems to be more useful information in it than usual.
Good job…..That is an excellent idea. Keep on plugging away
I think that is a gret idea. I got rid of all my “just in case” clothes too. I gained too on the scale. I snuck in a weigh in today and was up 3 lbs! How? I dunno….I have seriously worked my butt off this week and ate right! I am do frustrated but we just have to keep on doing all the right things. Never giving up and you sound like you never will! I will check out the prevention issue….I can use all the hepful info I can get!
Good idea!! It’s always good to get rid of the clothes that are to big. A lot of times just the thought of it costing money to gain helps you lose. It really sounds like you are motivated. The six pounds will come off in no time!!!
That is such a good idea girl. I personally kept one pair of “just in case pants”. And then guess what. I gained a little and went looking for them and couldn’t find them. Maybe I did get rid of them and forgot! So I was forced to squeeze into my smaller jeans and it was a wake up call. I visually and physically could see where I was headed and it woke me up and for now, I’m back on track. I think getting rid of some clothes is the way to go.
