Out of the Closet
09.08.06 (5:14 pm)   [edit]

I'm coming out of the closet today.

Well, sort of.

It's beginning to be that time of year when mornings are crisp and breaking out some fall clothes is looming.

I went into one of my closets to look for my brown jeans. I felt like wearing them. They fell off me. I couldn't believe how big they were.

Now you'd think, that's a good thing, right?

So I started digging around my fall/winter clothes, looking for pants/skirts are wearable. Let's just say pickin's are slim. Four or five years ago when I lost a lot of weight, I packed up boxes and boxes of clothes to give away and donate. I held on to a closet of them that were more expensive ones that could go to consignment. (They are still in the closet - the mom had said she'd handle it because she's dealt with consignment stores a lot)

I've gone thru two closets and have two more to go. I have practically nothing to wear that isn't falling off me. My entire life, I've always had TONS of clothes so it's really strange for me to look at these empty closets.  Good thing my wardrobe needs revolve around workout wear and my 'aquarium outfits'. (And those pants/skirts are too big.)

At least my shoes and purses still fit!

Hey scubadiva...I was reading your past posts and was laughing my ass off. You're one cool chick! And your honesty is really refreshing. Rock on!

Glad to know my life is entertaining. (Kidding) Thanks for the compliments.

I was talking to shespecies last night as she was making homemade mac&cheese - she was bragging that she makes the best in the world. Meanwhile, I was looking at my plate of brown rice, steamed broccoli and 1/2 a baked chicken breast. (sigh) I hope she got indigestion from the mac and cheese. (kidding)

Actually, since I've been so busy with the aquarium, I haven't been working out daily. More like once a week. I went yesterday for a bit and will go back to the gym again today. I guess standing on ones feet pointing at otters and not eating much is working more effectively than sweating my ass of at the gym as of late.

Deep, in the furthest recesses of my main closet, I found three suits I had bought on sale that I could never fit into two years ago. Well... last night, I could fit into them. So I can be uber-well-dressed (except I don't have any tops to go with them - but that's pretty easy to find) But I have nowhere to wear them.

It's such a girl thing, but to be knowing you are on the verge of a size 12 when you were a 22-24 5 years ago can be overwhelming.

Good for you for taking off all that weight.
Anyways, you are never fully dressed without a smile!
I bet that still fits perfectly.

Yeah, the most important thing you wear is a smile! Filling up the closets would be fun :)

Oh please! Next time you're heading out for a hot night on the town dressed in tattered clothes from GoodWill, I'll remind you about the smile being the most important thing you're wearing.

When you're in a great outfit, it multiplies that smile exponentially.

Wowsers - I hope you are really proud of what you've accomplished (I know I would be!).

I think that's why I have such a love of shoes, no matter what size I am my shoes still fit.
