Cleaning out the closet... (Picture Included)

I am sure we've all had the days were we think is all this working or even worth it. Well, I am here to tell you it does and it is. I decided that since losing now 57.5 pounds (Dr. Poon 34 weeks)that my clothes are just getting bigger and bigger and I am trying everything to hold onto them for what reason. I have no idea but Monday was the day that I spent almost all afternoon in my closet cleaning out all the clothes that no longer fits. I did leave some in there just in case I need to put them back on to see where I'm at because that's how you remember were you started. I cleaned out 50 hangers of almost new clothes (gave them to my sweet friend), 4 bags of clothes that were in good shape but were a little older to the charity boxes and thru out 2 bags of just bras. I am sitting here thinking hmmmmm should I post this picture of myself half naked on my blog for the world to see...........the answer is yes because you can do it too. I still have a long way to go but these are the stops in the middle that we need to reward ourselves.

I put on items from my closet and I thrilled they no longer fit. I go into stores that I was never able to shop at like Old Navy and just buy their now regular sizes. It feels great!


I look at this picture and see I still have to go on with this but also see that there has been a road that I have travelled to get here.
Thanks for looking and keeping me going.
Hugs
