I was shocked the other day when I got home and there was a large bag of clothes in the living room. All bagged up - ready to go to the thrift store. Ted never gets rid of stuff - so I was really excited when I saw that he actually had done some downsizing. I kept threatening to do it myself, but I knew I would never do that to him. I had to let him do it. But, it made me really happy.
P.S. I'm going to kind of apologize. My blog has kind of taken a Weight Watcher's turn.. This is my way of journaling and keeping myself in check. Sharing my frustrations. Sharing my victories. Sharing my progress. Mostly with myself. If you're following and reading - thanks for keeping up with me. I haven't been sharing a lot of this on Facebook - figured if people wanted to read, they knew how to find me.

| Going through the things I had not worn for probably two years or even more |
It gave me the motivation to go through my own closet. Or a least my lower rack of clothes. I still have another part of a rack to go through - - - that doesn't include one of the closets upstairs.
So - I pulled out all the old jeans and khakis and went through them. I figured if they didn't fit - either too big or too snug - they were going in the thrift store bag and I figured I would be emptying my closet. All but about three pair fit!! I was astonished!!! And they fit comfortably. I was very excited.

| After I had gone through them. I only had about two I could wear, uncomfortably, the last couple of years |
Confession time!! I was miserable the last couple of winters. I only had a couple of jeans that fit and I could wear out casually. When I wore them, I was really uncomfortable. So - I got to the point that a lot of times, I would wear black work out pants that I had that looked somewhat decent and wear a nice blouse with them. It was the only way I could go out and not be so miserable. The jeans would just cut into my innards so badly, that I couldn't stand it.
It was such an amazing feeling to try these pants on and have them fit. A lot of them I had not worn for probably two or three years!!
I need to stay focused!!! I need to remember the end prize. Health!!! Good health!!!
