Just wanted to thank you for the kick in my butt to clean out my closet. Two giant leaf bags are on their way to Salvation Army, all my “lose ten to fifteen pounds and these will fit” clothes are in a sterilite storage bin awaiting that happy day, and only clothes I can wear now and that don’t look like they belong on a hobo are hanging in my closet and filling my drawers. Yes, I had to throw clothes away because even homeless people would be ashamed to wear them. They have pride, whereas I am only rediscovering mine.

I really thought I’d have to go shopping, but it turns out the only gigantic hole in my wardrobe is summer shirts and pants. As we’re moving into fall and my rigorous fitness routine is finally in place (6 weeks and going strong!), I’m waiting until spring with a hopeful heart that fashions will suit my classic style a bit better in the coming year and I’ll be back in size 6. If so, I’ll only need to buy shirts, because I have 6 pairs of fun crop pants in that sterilite container.

So thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you.
