Re: My New Years Resolution

I love clothes too, but since I started working at home remotely, I don't need that many dress clothes. I just had surgery and after I am 100%, I am going through all my closets and getting rid of clothes and donating them to the local Christian second hand store. I work in nice casual wear, hoodies, leggings, etc. I don't need skirts and dress slacks, etc. anymore except for weddings and even for church, most people are very business casual or just outright jeans. I am also going to declutter other areas of my home and do more online selling. I made quite a bit of money selling things on Facebook local garage sale pages. A great way to declutter and make some cash. I also am going to get back to regular exercise after I recover from surgery. Merry Christmas and happy 2020 everyone!!!!

Read your title and comments then thought about it for a day. I found the 15 pounds I lost 2 years ago. For me it's all about not having time to work out. I just have to revv up metabolism, improve balance and flexibility and lung capacity. Been wearing my 'big' size pants. It's on my mind a lot. I just need to get back on my schedule and that's just that. Refrain from buying clothes for my current size. One pant size down is my ideal size. Keeping the house clutter free. We'll see how that goes with husband's upcoming retirement. We've had many conversations about that subject. We're on the same page. Good luck to all. You sound determined!

@Born2type Merry Christmas and Happy New Year/New Decade to you too.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I retired at the end of March 2018 and was kind of glad I did it then because spring/summer clothing is not my favorite. I had about 6 months to get a grip before fall/winter clothing hit the stores. I did some shopping but not as much as I did when I was working.

I have to say in 2019 I didn't really shop that much for clothing or shoes. Biggest surprise to me was the shoes because I was a shoe fanatic.

I won't say that I wasn't tempted When I'd get the urge and I would load up my JCP online cart, I'd pause then get up and walk down the hall to look at the contents of my closet. That was usually enough of a reality check for me.

I think I just like getting packages It's sort of like Christmas all year round.
