Trimming the Fat

This weekend, I finally got started on trimming the fat in my closet.  I have been saying for months that I was going to start going through them but I just have not gotten around to it.  Perhaps I was using the clothes as a safety net?  Possible. What a freaking safety net.  I did keep a size 20 pair of slacks from this winter that I wore to work and a size XXL sweatpants that I wore to the gym.  In fact, I wore them to the gym the day that Xavy asked if I needed help with training.  Those I plan to pull out pretty often. 

I had clothes of all shapes and sizes.  The amount of clothes I packed away are just ridiculous.  As much as I bi+ch about the cost of having to buy new clothes that fit, I forgot how much I must have spent buying bigger clothes in the first place.  I mean, really?  $49.99 for a tank top at Lane Bryant?  Insane.  In Wal-Mart, their clothes in "Extended Sizes" are an additional two bucks right off the top.  If Wal-Mart marks up their fat clothes, can you imagine all the money in all of the stores I have wasted over the years?

I will be separating the clothes into more  manageable piles and donating them in the very short future.  If I could, I'd like to suggest a clothing swap sometime in the fall?  I know we are all in the same boat here and we could all use some hand-me-downs.  Let me know what you think.
