Default WOW moment

Hi Everyone,

I just had to tell you guys that this weekend, my mom and I cleared out my closets of all the clothes that are too big for me now. I'm telling you...I had a ton of clothes! I had 3 normal size garbage bags full and 2 yard size garbage bags full....it was alot! Now my closet consists only of clothes that I can currently wear, and clothes that I can't quite fit into yet (but will soon). It really kind of freaked me out at first. I mean, I've had all of those clothes for a really long time. And to go from a Walk-In closet full of clothes plus a bedroom closet full...to only a 1/2 bedroom closet full was really scary. We took all of the clothes to the Children's Hospital Thrift Store, so at least I know that someone will get good use out of them and the $ will go to a good charity!

So yesterday afternoon I went to the thrift store to pick out some clothes for myself. I must have tried on 20 pairs of pants. Some were too big, and some were too small...it still amazes me how one size can be so different by different manufacturers! Anyway, I bought some size 18 & 16 pants!!! I can wear the 18s now, and I'll hopefully been in the 16s soon! I can't believe just a few months ago I was in size 24s and 3x!

Now I'm in 1x tops and 18 bottoms....I love WOW moments!

great job lady. Our support group in Denver lets people bring in clothes for those that need them. It is great because so many of us are all at different stages and the clothes exchange allows everyone to pitch in and no money is spent.
