THANK YOU for your posts. After years of going up and down in weight and realizing I am not having anymore children, I finally got rid of everything that was too big. It was only a bag full. But now there is only one direction to head and that is smaller. I can't go back because there is nothing to wear.

I had gastric bypass 16 months ago and for some reason I feel doomed that I will get fat again. Need to work on the HEAD part of this now that the body is taken care of. I am going to walk upstairs after this and start the process.

Just this morning I accidentally kicked the huge bag of clothes I removed from my closet but haven't quite gotten around to actually moving out of my bedroom. I'm wearing size 8 clothes now, but still have a selection of every size from 24 down to 10 sitting around. I'm going to take your blog entry as a kick in the pants to finish cleaning out the closet and to TAKE those clothes to the thrift store at my son's school as one of my spring break projects next week. :)Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080214292545820027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886609594320917604.post-92198551669912585132012-03-19T05:08:50.605-06:002012-03-19T05:08:50.605-06:00This is a great idea!!
