Well I finally did it. I was so sick of pulling out clothes that were never going over my thunder thighs and putting them back in the cupboard in hope that one day I'll get back into them, so today I threw them all out. 5 garbage bags later and I now have almost nothing to wear but what I do have fits me! I am a size 14, yes I carry a little too much weight around my thighs, butt and belly but i'm okay with that. If I happen to lose any weight just by living then that will be great but I refuse to starve myself and cycle/walk till my feet are aching and I'm struggling to take a breath simply to fit back into size 10's and 12's. I'm am what I am! Gosh that was liberating!

Thanks ladies. It feels good to look in my wardrobe now. No crap that's going to make me feel sad.

I've been hanging onto some of my clothes for coming up 10 years . They are hopelessly out of fashion. I actually wore them and asked a hairdresser for 'the Rachel' at the same time. You're clearly a smarter woman than I.
