this morning has been a little better than productive. already. wait...i have to dwell in this moment of rarity. {insert completely boring, random, but strangely soothing background music while you wait}
ok. whew. why, you may ask? why am i basking in my own glory of accomplishment? why am i unhealthily proud of myself? why am i totally deserving a coffee right about now? why?
because i attacked it. the closet. my bedroom clothes closet.
dumdum duuummm.
i seriously, very seriously, just weeded through and am donating half...yes half, of my clothes and shoes. it was time to be strong. to let go. to believe with my whole heart that i won't be fitting into a 'xs' anytime in the near future. close or far away. i have to be honest with myself that my metabolism plans on slowing down, not speeding up as the years trickle by. that my mommy hips are very much staying there, no matter how many few pounds i may loose. and that i will be thankful for what they mean. always. always! {insert my attempt to believe myself} i have to understand that when those comfy shoes or slippers are hanging on for their dear life, it might be time to let them peacefully pass into shoe heaven. the pain is too much to bear. hold me.
i'm planning on impressing the husband. he better drop his jaw or all of this just might not be worth it.
where's those m&m's?
half your clothes and shoes!?! wow very impressive.
ReplyDeleteso were you feeling remorseful and driving to the mall to buy new clothes this afternoon:)
enjoy your m&ms. very much deserved!
i actually had just come from the thrift store to DROP OFF my donation...got myself my much deserved coffee and was simply returning a pair of torn jeans to ae. ;) new clothes? i wish...especially when jacob came home and said, "now you can really say you have no clothes." that's the kind of response i like to hear. :)
ReplyDeleteand just where were YOU going? :)
You are funny. I loved this post. One pair of my itsy bitsy pre-pregnancy jeans are still hanging in the closet. I still hold out hope that someday I will squeeze my older shapelier body into them but the power of the m&ms is too strong.
