Nothing fits

Is it wrong to still be wearing your fat pants weeks after Thanksgiving? Normal people put on 3-5 pounds during the holiday season. I must be exceptional as the holiday season isn't over and I'm sure I have already exceeded the 5 pounds.

It is extremely challenging to find a pair of pants to wear to work at 7:15 am every morning. I am not an over achiever and put out my outfit the night before. I work much better under stress.

My clothes closet is a place where my skinny clothes went to die. I have been saving them for the day when I miraculously shed 25 pounds so I can fit in them again. The old saying is if you haven't worn it for a year, toss it. But that's hard!! I love some of those skirts, pants, even shoes.

I noticed the more weight I carry, my shoe size increases. Makes sense, I just don't like it. So my shoes are also in my clothes closet of dead useless items.

So you ask, where are the clothes that you wear that fit you? On the floor in my bedroom!! I actually have to walk over them to get to my bed.

But it makes it easier in the wee morning to just pick up what you just stepped over, smooth it out and put it on!

However, my cat has decided that my piles of clothes make a wonderful place for her to nap during the day. And she sheds. On my clothes. On the floor.

You'd think this would make me hang up my clothes so I didn't have to run around in the morning looking for tape to use to lift off the cat hairs on my pants. But no. I'm not too picky on the tape either. Duct tape, scotch tape, masking tape. The only tape that doesn't work as well is electrical tape. But I have been know to even try that!

My husband asked me this afternoon if I wanted him to put the window air conditioner from another bedroom in storage. Which means my closet. NO NO NO!! Do NOT go in there!! You will never find your way out!!

Seriously, I need to do something. Either lose the weight so I can use my closet again, or inventory what does fit and give the rest of the S-M to Goodwill.

But everytime I attempt to weed out my clothes, I fall in love with them again and I just can't throw it away!!! That sexy fancy dress I wore on the cruise.... the sundress I wore in Maui.... the Tommy Hilfiger shirt that is, well, just cool. I can't do it. So I leave the unwearable clothes in my closet and close the door.

Maybe after the holidays I will get serious about losing some weight. The place I work actually has an exercise building for their employees to use. I have a treadmill in my basement. I have 3 pairs of tennis shoes for walking (altho 2 pairs are in my dead closet). I have yoga pants. And 3 pound weights.

I just need to find my motivation. If you see it, please tell it to come on home. Also, if you see my get-up-and-go, I've lost that too. Reward given.
