Finally donated them. when the weight came off, I got new ones!! Not a ton of new ones, but new ones in the current styles! I'm happier for it, and someone else got the benefit of my donation.Little Black Scrap Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648629272966148169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974408400574882931.post-19557040629796143222009-05-21T15:15:06.092-04:002009-05-21T15:15:06.092-04:00Lisa, you are right.

If I am spending so much time and effort to get my art supplies in order, I need to do the same to my closet, and give back to my community to boot. And despite all the junk in my closet, my kitties still find a way to get into trouble in there- mostly playing with bows and string ties hanging down.<br /><br />I think I just had to do this post so I could hear other people tell me to let go of it all.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05967395833868389751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974408400574882931.post-74165252625135010822009-05-21T14:44:12.417-04:002009-05-21T14:44:12.417-04:00Get rid of it!

Then your closet will look like mine - shelves void of clothing with cute black kitties napping on them. :)<br /><br />And I agree, when you get to the weight you want, you'll deserve to reward yourself with some new outfits.<br /><br />Good luck!lisanelsonarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874639952592823488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974408400574882931.post-33283925872600273222009-05-21T11:33:31.963-04:002009-05-21T11:33:31.963-04:00I think that is my husband's point- when that time...I think that is my husband's point- when that time comes, go get new clothes instead of re-wearing stuff from 2003. And yes, having that much stuff in my closet, whether old or new, is embarrassing. I am a packrat at heart, but I know that is overkill. Especially in this economy, there are so many people without.

Yeah, that is a lot of clothes. If it makes you feel bad to look at them, then donate most. <br /><br />And really, when you get back down to a smaller size, you probably are going to want to reward yourself with some new, stylish clothes. <br /><br />Consider giving yourself a fresh start - it may be really freeing to get rid of so much excess.<br /><br />Thanks for being so open - I know it was hard for you.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.com
