Earlier this week I went through my closet and did some spring cleaning. I got rid of all my size 12 jeans (i'm an 11 now, and I can get in 10s but I have a huge muffin top lol). I also got rid of clothes that were worn-out and clothes that don't flatter me. So all I have left are a few size 10 jeans and a bunch of tops I really never wore. I'm excited to get into some of those clothes that I never got to wear because I gained too much weight. The summer of 2008 I lost a lot of weight the unhealthy way by basically starving myself. I kept the weight off for awhile and a lot of it I bought the summer of 2010 when I was like 158 lbs (the smallest I've been since grade school probably) but I quickly gained a bunch of weight that summer as I hit 21 and the Blackhawks won the Stanley cup.
Anyways, I wanted to be at 163 by Friday, and 161 by next friday because when I hit 160 I get to buy myself a new dress and my boyfriend is going to take me somewhere to wear the dress. Then on the 29th I have a concert to go to with my friend and I want to dress cute for that too. I've got a lot to go so I really need to start pushing for the next week to kind of pull myself back on track.
I also wanted to clean because I'm working towards a healthier, happier overall life and as Danny Tanner would say "A clean house is a happy house!" Seriously, I feel so much more relaxed when everything is clean and put away. And I feel like getting rid of the "fat clothes" is kind of symbolic for me to be shedding myself of that image of me; to stop seeing myself as the chubby girl and to start seeing myself as the fit girl, whom I will be soon. My boyfriend also really likes that instead of a baggy black tee I've been wearing form fitting colored tees. :)
