Default OT - I've finally done it!

I spent this afternoon cleaning out my closet and drawers of all my "fat"
clothes! I was a size 26-28 and am now a size 18-20 so I decided that
anything above a 20 had to go - and it did!! I have 4 bulging shopping bags
to go to the Salvation Army/St Vinnie's as I have decided I will NEVER be
that big again. Geez I sound converted don't I? LOL. In the process I
managed to find a pair of shorts I wore on our honeymoon (seven years ago)
which are a size 18 and were a wee bit big for me then - I'm not game to try
them on yet, maybe next week. And a gorgeous sweatshirt that DH bought for
my "hospital" birthday which happened when DD1 was born six whole years ago
which I'd only worn for one season I think - It now fits again - properly!!!

And the shelves? Well they are fairly bare. I'm hoping to stock them up
when I've dropped to a size 14. Until then, well there's always S.E.X.
isn't there? ROFLOL and kicking my feet in happiness. Ooooh I love weight
watchers!!

woooooohooooooooo, ya did it already, totally impressive. going for a 14
eh. i'm sure you can do it now that you know how.
now then... are none of those clothes 100% cotton?
good grief, is any of it quiltable?
might as well make something useful as a reminder of the old days. use it as
a picnic rug or something, lol.
keep it up and you'll have extra room on the return flight home for extra
stash in 2004, lol.

YIPPEE!!! I'm dancing for you in Texas. Congratulations! You have worked
so hard and this is just one of the rewards for you. Way to GO!! I can't
wait to meet you in Houston! We'll cover your tiny body in fabric..hehe..
The smaller you are, the more fabric for us. oooh (joking)

By the way there's nothing wrong with bare shelves! Spread out what you
have and it will look so clean and neat, like everything has it's ONE place.
Use a little space for a nice display area. A picture and one knicknack.
Take pictures!! grins

Good going Sharon! (If any of those clothes are good quilting cotton, you
could make a sort of reminder quilt.)

I am impressed, losing that weight is not easy.
And by all means, get rid of the big clothes.
Keep nothing that is baggy, no fat clothes to fall back on.
