As I regained the weight, I would just shove clothes toward the back of the closet. At one point I bought bit 33 gallon bins and emptied the closet of everything that I could not wear. I shoved those bins into the corners and along the wall of my walk in closet. I ignored them, but knew that my 'thin' clothes were in them. I decided to pull those bins out...sort out the clothes and repack them in a way that I can more readily access the clothes that I will need as I lose the weight. I decided that I would also not put the bins back into the closet...I would cart them to the library and sit them on the futon. Easy Access for me to dig out what I need as I lose! (and it's not like we use that futon anyway....it is a leftover from my husbands premarriage days and is slated to go to the dump this year). I started unloading the closet...the bins must have multiplied. I pulled out not one...not two...not three but seven bins shoved to the gills with clothes. I was ready to sort.
What did I find? I found that most of the tops were from my smaller size...as I had gained weight I had gone to leaving the shirts open and using it camisols or teeshirts under them to extend the wear. Furthermoer, I really never weeded out the smaller shirts in the mid sizes...so they are still in my drawers and in my closet. (project for another day???) I put all of those shirts/tops in boxes and carted them to the library. All the pants and skirts I laid in stacks according to size. I rebinned them small stuff going upward and stacked those crates in order of sizes so that the biggest sizes are on top. I started a bin of 'too big' clothes...and left out some clothes that I can wear right now that I didn't realize.
I AM READY!!! BRING IT ON!!!!!
Thats awesome!!! I love getting into my next bin and finding that I can wear some of those clothes!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome girl!n It won't be long until you break out those clothes.
ReplyDeleteand as you move down get rid of the "BIG" clothes you do NOT need just in case sizes cause this journey is one way!
ReplyDeleteYou are on your way!! I have stacks of smaller clothes too. WE will get into those sizes for the warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteYahoo for you MaryFran. With no internet for 4 days I decided to tidy up my clothes and sort them. The "now" clothes, then "next in line" clothes and then some inbetweeners and then the "almost at goal" ones. I forgot some of the the clothes I had. I want to wear them again!
