Losing Weight Is Bringing Me Down ...

Losing weight is bringing me down ...

in size! 

And it is creating more work for me.

I had an interesting experience getting dressed today.  I suddenly have so many more things in my closet from which to choose. 

And, I've come to the realization that I am going to have to take on a project this upcoming week.  I need to go through my closet, try on clothes, and do some rearranging.  I need to donate the stuff that is too large for me now, and I need to take inventory of what is now available to me. 

This is no small task.

I was never a "clothes horse" but as I went up in size, I didn't do a LOT of weeding (though some).  I think the last time I went through things was about six years ago.  Yep, some of the items in my closet haven't been worn in 5-6 years.  (Crazy ...)

I'm comfortably in size 26 jeans now, and the 28s I bought in early September are pretty baggy.  They are almost to the point I can't wear them - almost.  So, the lesson there is when I next buy jeans, only buy two or three, because I may only get two months use out of them.  I am NOT complaining about that - at all - but it wasn't very far-sighted of me to buy seven, when I feel I barely had a chance to wear them.  It is a waste of money for me, but I know it will help someone shopping Goodwill next month.  (It isn't easy to find fashionable large clothing.)

I don't look forward to the extra work, and it is so time-consuming, but I can't keep reaching for stuff, only to find I look like a hobo in them, all baggy.  Hey, it may work for Halloween weekend, but definitely not afterwards.

Here is a fun NSV for me today ...

My husband has been eating the same things I have been (for dinner), only in slightly higher volume.  And today, he fit into jeans he hasn't worn in years!  I'm so happy for him!!
