I cleaned out my closet!

I can't gain weight! I cleaned out my closet yesterday. Bags, bags and bags! I had every size from 2 to 14 in there. Maybe this was part of my problem? I always had a few clothes to accommodate any size I was. The sad thing is now it looks like I have nothing! I am now FORCED to maintain my weight loss or I'll be walking around naked and that would be very scary! Actually, this was very hard for me to do. A little scary. I can't rollercoaster anymore. I kept the size I can wear now and cleaned out all the rest, including the impossible size of 2. I've had kids, it ain't gonna happen. That gross hanging tummy is here to stay.
Still working though, got 2 pounds left until I hit 20 pounds lost and my goal! I hope I don't blow it come our trip in June! We have lots of PSs made...................

Hey Shan,

Congratulations on this big hurdle. Its definately a huge breakthrough when you can do this. I know it made all the difference in the world and I have never looked back. I even got rid of a few more shirts yesterday that I was using till I got more new short sleeve shirts. It feels good when you wear things that actually fit.

Also,
dont worry about your trip in June. Remember that this is something you will do for life. Its not a diet that you blow. If you eat more than you want and you gain a little, remember that all you have to do is get back on track for a little bit and you will go right back down. I actually think its good to go off once in a while and learn how to get back on successfully. I know for me it was a great revelation to learn I could do that. I am not not afraid to have one or two days (or even a week on vacation) where I eat more than I should, because now I know I posess the power to get back on track successfully.

Keep up the fantastic work!

I cleaned out my closet last Saturday. 3 huge garbage bags of clothes that are way to big!! I, like you, feel that I don't have much to wear, but I still hope to lose more so I'm not shopping yet. I can wash every few days until I get into an 8.
