Spring Cleaning- Out with the super-sized clothes!

Experts say that one of the best things you can do when you are committed to losing weight and keeping it off is to get rid of your largest sized clothes. I have always found this hard to do. I have felt I needed the safety net of the bigger clothes. Somehow I have always needed them again.

Spring has sprung and the need to clear things out and clean things up is compelling me to re-examine why I am holding on to my larger sized clothes. The reality is that I have kept off my 50 lbs for a year now. I really like my adopted healthy lifestyle. I much prefer it, in fact. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything, denying myself any foods or that I need to eat more than I am. Actually I want to still eat less!

So, I decided it was time to let go of my clothes that were too big. I am only keeping the clothes I currently fit in and one size smaller that I have from years ago. I even took the discarded clothes to Goodwill so they were out of the house and gone for good.

It feels great! My closet looks so much better. I feel like a weight has been lifted from me. No more looking back. I am marching forward!

Now I am hoping in another year I can clean out my closet even more!

Here's to the renewal and healthy change that comes with Spring!
