Can't avoid it forever

It was time to face my apartment. It had gotten out of control and mostly due to my clothes (and the heap of bags/boxes piled up by the door). I had opened up the box of previously too small clothes which ended up being the definition of opening a can of worms. If I brought out clothes, I had to address the clothes already filling my closet and dresser. So I ignored the mountains of clothes stacked by my closet. Until today. It was quite a productive night. After my trampoline class I went to Home Depot to find the right drywall screws to use hanging the table. Then I went to work. I did the table, which Ikea had two people doing but I was able to use a chair to assist. Then it was clothes. It was exciting to "rediscover" clothes but as the giveaway pile grew I must admit it was sad to see some clothes go. The fat pants that with a tag noting an acceptable size number but fit me at my fattest. The memories that some items brought back just because I was wearing them at pivotal times. But alas most are far too old. As the new clothes came out I found some, more than I would like to admit actually, that I bought because I was sure I'd lose a few and fit into them - only to have never worn them. No more! So I packed up the old and organized the new. I felt it was an important moment in my journey so I just wanted to share ;) I am set now until the Fall, when I'll have to go through the winter clothes (which I hopefully won't fit into then!)
