So I decided to get out of my funk by starting on my closet(s). Using your list as a guide, I am going to take a good look at what is there and just begin. This will be an ongoing project as I lose and another incentive to keep losing.

It has only been a few weeks since I began attending meetings, but the trend continues downward at least. Right now, my clothes are fitting properly rather than tightly which is quite an improvement. I love that you chose workout clothing as your first replacements. I think I will do the same. Going to a larger city to shop the thrifts and consignments is a brilliant plan and would be such a fun "girls weekend." I am going to plan one after the holidays.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-2047821116326714602013-10-28T11:07:42.900-07:002013-10-28T11:07:42.900-07:00looking and sounding great my friend!looking and sounding great my friend!the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-46384977409392385432013-10-28T10:38:50.627-07:002013-10-28T10:38:50.627-07:00I like Prima Donna, Triumph and Warners.
