This is my closet. And it has, oh, I don't know hundreds of pieces of clothing in it. Out of these hundreds of pieces of clothing...do you know how many items I can actually wear? 16! And most of those items have elastic somewhere or are t-shirts / sweatshirts.
It is actually like an itty bitty department store. There is something for everyone (just not me). I have sizes ranging from 2 - 12. If each and every one of my friends came over and splattered some un-cleanable substance on themselves, I am sure I would have something they could wear!
I have refused to buy larger...hence my inability to wear anything. I have debated several thousand times on donating the things that do not fit...But then, my closet would look like a sad barren wasteland on the outskirts of town. Lint balls blowing in the forced air breeze and all. I have been told that keeping everything is just depressing and actually adds insult to injury. Well, I used to agree with that. But now, I am going to look at it as an opportunity. An opportunity to have a new wardrobe every couple of months! AND...after I pass by a size section (meaning, I get SMALLER), that size section will be donated! With pleasure and with determination! And, with the knowledge I now have, I will never be back to that size again. Because, if I continue to do everything right, this life-style change (not diet) will create some sort of consistency and health happiness!

You've got it going and that's the right attitude....don't get rid of the small, grow back into them (or shrink).....but I still want the blue, and the white Liz Clairborne blouses.....LOL

When I grow into them, of course. But still-
