Well, day 5 of my "40 bags in 40 days" challenge. Yesterday was the fun fair, so I was too tired to hit it. Today, two bags to make up the difference.
I chose to tackle my master bedroom closet today. It's been a mess for what seems like a year. It's still too full. I am struggling with letting go of clothes. I am continuing to lose weight but am self-conscious of my body. The sizes I should be wearing seem to be too snug on me.
I decided today to give away a few t-shirts. I tried on a few more. I am going to give myself a few more months for some of the short-sleeved t-shirts. I figure a few months of focused a work may make me less self-conscious and trim, which should help with the fit.
The happiest news is that I found a bathing suit. I had worn one last summer to the point of disintigration. I needed to get a new one but of course money is always promised elsewhere. I keep seeing my old bathing suit in the laundry room. I didn't want to throw it away yet, but it's embarrassing to wear to the local beach.
So I think it's particularly cool that following my heart and convicted by God to declutter and simplify, I found something I actually need but didn't even realize I had. All I can say is yay.
