bitful

So now not only can I squeeze into my skinny jeans again (well, I say skinny, the label says 32W), but I can even go out in public in them (I wore them a couple of weeks ago to a garden party spent inside due to the rain). The trick is not sitting down.

I have therefore decided to clear out my closet and give away anything that does not fit.

This is a bold move for me: many times in the past I got back in shape but kept a set of 34w trousers in case the weight crept back on. This time I will get rid of them, and if I baloon again, well, I'll be big and beautiful in some newly bought threads.

But I'm funny with clothes. They are infused with memories. I often remember what I was wearing on most occasions in the past, probably because I had put some effort into choosing what to put on. Only last week I wished I had kept a t-shirt I used to love, a pale yellow, deep v-neck Fruit-of-the-Loom that I wore all the time… when I was eleven. Yes, I know, I so need to get out there and get meself one of them life things.

So for now the clothes to give away are in an unused drawers unit that is waiting to be Craiglisted itself. Chances are they will crawl their back into the closed on a fat day.
