Giving to the sisterhood

Today I am washing clothes that are to be sent to Amy and Kristen (the next time we meet).

It's crazy that I have clothes size 8-18 in my closet. I mean I understand the 8 you always keep your smaller clothes in hopes of fitting back in them. But the bigger clothes? I had started a bag of "future Maternity clothes" am I crazy do you think a hopefully size 10 pregnant woman would wear size 16 or 18 pants? um no. 

It just struck me that I am holding on to these clothes, because in the past I have lost and gained it back (and then some). Holding onto the clothes because I will need them later. 
I feel that this is therapy, THIS time it WILL be different.

  2. I remember Catherine posting about how giving away her "fat" clothes was scary for the same reason, but it was such a great experience to be rid of them!

  3. It took me about 5 months to actually get rid of clothes, but once I started, it felt REALLY good... scary, but good! I kept some bigger clothes for possible maternity too, and then thought, no, darn it, I'll buy cute XL size maternity vs. 3x regular!!!

  5. I too have just begun the process of getting rid of old clothes and reorganizing my closet. It's amazing the things we keep around for wanting to fit into them again. I found stuff I hadn't worn since high school. On the up side, one of those pairs of jeans fits me now. That means I'm well on my way. Keep the great work girl.
