Today was the day... we cleaned out our closet and got rid of the clothes we won't wear. My husband's selection of donation items was the most dramatic since he's slimmed down so much! There were piles of nice sweaters that hang on him now, and stacks of shrunk-out-of slacks. He kept two of his favorite sweaters, which our daughter will tailor for him. (She's one handy gal when it comes to sewing!)
My pile of donations was not as big as I thought it would be. Last year at this time, if I had donated stuff that didn't fit (too tight) I would have been left with very little. But now I can fit into all my clothes again! Hooray! (I did weed out a few things that I no longer wanted though.) And I cleaned out some costume jewelry that I found in a forgotten box. (Wow... I used to wear the gaudiest earrings!)
I feel grateful and amazed. As my husband's stack of too-large clothes kept growing taller, I thought, "All this from a man who skeptically announced he would try my plan of healthy eating for one month and if he didn't see any results he would stop."
Go figure... a healthy eating plan that didn't require counting calories, portions, carbs, fat grams... yet led to weight loss and a leaner closet. This really works.
Oh no...those earrings can make great fridge magnets! I did some as gifts this year. A pair of elegant (or gaudy) magnets is a fun gift.
ReplyDeleteI went to do the word verification, and it was outgro...so I wonder, if getting too big for your close is outgrowing them, is getting to small considered ingrow?
Oops I meant Clothes. What a blooper!
