Downsizing Because I'm Sizing Down

So after this morning's post, I decided I need a little pick me up.  I wanted to see that all my hard work has not been in vain, so I did something I've been meaning to do--I cleaned out my closet.  It was really quite enjoyable, because I tried everything on and if it didn't fit--I threw it out.  I should have taken a before picture of my closet, but here's my pile I had:

And now my clothes take up about half the space they once did.  I feel like I don't have anything to wear now, which I know is so not true because I never did wear half the stuff I had.

But it was quite liberating to be getting rid of clothes I once filled out, and now find myself swimming in.  And something else I noticed about the clothes that I had, was that I had so many things that I used to hide in.  I had shirts and sweaters and so many layers to cover my body because I was so embarrassed of it.  And now I don't like stuff because it doesn't show off my waist or fit snug enough.  Funny how that happens.  I'm the smallest I've ever been in my adult life, and I'm training for a half marathon (something I only used to dream about) so I need to quit being so hard on myself, and be glad for the changes I've made, because it is something!  And to make the day even better, I got to go out on a lunch date with my hubby!

More to come about where we went...
