OK. So I suck at blogging about losing weight just about as much as I suck at actually losing weight. My weight hasn't changed.
I was so motivated in my last post. What happened, you ask? I got sick, again. I was sick for about seven or eight days, and then I just found it so hard to get back in the swing of things, especially with all my spare time devoted to Halloween preparations, which unfortunately, came with a lot of candy-eating.
Today I started another project to help motivate me. I cleaned out my closet. My closet was jam-packed with shirts I haven't worn in years. I've very sentimental about my clothing.
I tried on over 50 shirts, and that's not counting the shirts I regularly wear and already knew were keepers. I separated the shirts into three main categories:
1. Fits well-enough, back in the closet.
2. Snug, but will fit if I lose weight (16 shirts). Stored in the guest bedroom dresser. (The back two piles in the picture.)
3. Too small or I've had for way too many years and need to let go (16 shirts). Placed in a box to sell or donate. (Some of the shirts were at least 10 years old. I still love Rainbow Brite, but after 10 years, her face looked cracked and dull. Poor Rainbow Brite.)
A couple skirts and shorts also found their way into a pile.
I love some of my "too tight" shirts too much to let them go. I will lose this weight and wear them again, dangit! I'm not too sad that some of my shirts don't fit because they aren't even adult or juniors sizes. I was so tiny once-upon-a-time, that I could shop in the children's section. I don't expect to be (or need to be) that tiny again.
I also cleaned out way too many undershirts from my dresser drawers. Some went under the sink for rags and some that are like new, just tiny, went to the donate box.
Then I danced on Just Dance for 20 minutes and did 20 jack knifes on Wii Fit Plus.
I can do this, I can do this, I can do this ...
Princess Peach will be thin next Halloween! It still bothers me to see my face so round and full. It's just...not me.
