Cleaning out the closet

I decided that today would be dedicated to cleaning up. My first order of business was the closet. I think most females will agree that cleaning out the closet it a rather difficult task. I mean I obviously like my clothes seeing as though I bought them. So it’s really hard to part with them. But everyone has that shirt they never got a chance to wear, that dress they haven’t worn in about a year, or the clothes they just can’t fit anymore.

My first order of business was getting rid of clothes I can’t fit anymore. This should have been very easy; I mean every girl would love to get rid of something because it’s too big. But as I stated before I really like my clothes so this was very hard. I had to try on each individual item to see if it looked too big. You know, see if I could wear it without looking sloppy. Then I thought well, what’s going to happen when I gain my weight back? I’m going to need these clothes.  

Why would I want to keep clothes that don’t fit anymore in anticipation of gaining back weight that I worked so hard to lose? Is that not crazy?!?!  I mean, I never really considered myself to be a big person but I knew I could be smaller without looking sickly. But even still…is that not crazy!?!?

At that moment it hit me, cleaning out your closet is just like getting rid of baggage. Why is it so hard for us to let go?? I just don’t know!!!!

Alright, so I know I made a post earlier about not having a new year’s resolution, well that has changed. My new year’s resolution is to get rid of any negative baggage I may be carrying around. As of today it’s gone!

And just to prove it I want you to know there is nothing in my closet that I can’t fit anymore AND I listened to Adele’s cd today and instead of turning it off because it’s sooo depressing I appreciated the wonderfulness of it!!! (exhaling)  J
