HCB's Journal, 16 Sep 12

I LOOOOOVE donating clothes! It's so liberating! Stuff you could barely button or squeeze into, and it's all gone, even though it may have been in your closet for years! Wahoo! Oh, and in answer to your question, I have one dog, Charlie. He is a West Highland Terrier - known as a "Westie". Other Westies you may have seen - one of the Target Dogs, and the dog on the dog food for Caesar Dog food. He looks like a white Scottie dog. He's 5. He loves to pee on everything and sniff butts with other dogs. He's my baby. 

I had never got rid of my "fat clothes" until just this summer. It was such a liberating experience. So I say you did deserve a reward. And what could be more fitting than an RDI approved ice cream cone? Congrats! Here's to never looking back :) 

I bet that felt great! I dropped off my two big trash bags full of clothes today and it was great to get them out of my closet. I agree with Evelyn, here's to never looking back!!! 

Now you have room for the ones that fit - and show off all your hard work. Congratulations again! 

NIce girl awesome u are rocking it.. Girl like i said before and say it again total look up to you. Also I cant wait to bew able to get ride of all my size 3x which now i am fitting in to my 2x shirts well but i like having the bigger shirts around to relax in. but soon mine will be gone like your.. 

The black ones are called "Scotties". They are not black "Westies". The black ones are Scottish Terriers. The white ones are West Highland Terriers. I never realized Toto was a black Scottie. I bet he's cute, though. And I bet you could tell me a lot about your cats and their particular breed! 

SWEET! That is fabulous!! I am soo proud of you and your progress! 

Fantastic HCB!!!! Go you!!! 

Congrates on the purge! It does feel good. I recently gave three boxes to a womens shelter. I am not going backwards either. Now we have room in our closets, have helped someone else and have had a chance to see just how far we've come. One of my goals is to have no X's on any label in my clothes. We are both moving in that direction, woohoo! 

I sell my to a local plus size consignment shop. Congratulations! It's a great feeling..and shopping for (and fitting into) smaller clothing is even better feeling!!! 

Congrats.. and what an amazing feeling you must have had to donate those clothes. It purged your closet and has probably helped you set new goals.. way to go girl.. 

Good job! I need to do that too, my closet is full of big boy clothes I cant wear anymore. I have been tossing them in a tote on the bottom for that reason. I need some new clothes too! 

I love a good purge, putting on all those old clothes and seeing how much I have lost. Now you have to go shopping. 

It feels great to purge! You also realize how much space all that stuff was taking. The only thing I am having a hard time letting go is my t-shirt collection, I think I am going to do the quilt thing. I know someone that will do it for me. 

That is sooooo great!!! :-) 

Now that is a journal that made me smile! Even down to the part that your had room in your RDI for that ice cream cone. Well done, lady. I am ferociously proud of you! Hugs!! 

Me, too, proud of you! Keep it up! 

I'm so happy for you girlie!!! I keep getting plus size catalogs in the mail. I order online because I need plus size TALLS which are impossible to find in stores. So I get a butt load of XXX catalogs every day. DH puts them in a pile for me but I refuse to buy an X ever again. Today is the fattest day of the rest of my life. Period! There is a Dairy Q within walking distance of my house. Yum! 

CONGRATS!!! I think I am about to finally part with the things I was just too scared to. Now that I am in a 6 I think the 10s can go. I to just can't part with some shirts though lol. We had a quilt done out of some of my kids toddler clothes. It's a great idea!! I'm starting to hide my sons old shirts for a quit when he graduates.  

Great job and great idea! I should do the same!
