Clothes Box

Being a military family, we move a bit. In fact I think that the longest we have ever lived anywhere since we have been married is 3 years. Every time we move we are given a weight limit based on my husbands rank. Anything over that weight limit, we have to pay for out of pocket. Having kids and all of the furniture, clothing and toys that go with them, plus text books and tools, really adds up. We go through all of our things every couple of years as we are getting ready to move, and I have had 2 waist high boxes that have moved with us to every location of clothes that don't fit, and that I have had every expectation of eventually getting back into. Before Christmas, I finally pulled those boxes out of our shed (which is set up in our garage, but that is something else entirely) and started going through them. I am pleased to announce that after this weekend, I no longer have a box of small clothes that I will someday fit into. That someday has come and with the exception of one pair of jeans, the box now only contains my fat clothes (which will promptly go to the closest Goodwill). It will be nice to have 2 less boxes to ship across the country and dig through after every move and wonder if they will ever fit. Only down side is that it has been so long since the clothes have fit, that they are slightly dated. Most of the clothes a barely worn since I bought them before I realized I was pregnant with my first kid. I am close to my goal weight, and I was thinking how nice it is going to be to maintain my weight instead of constantly trying to lose. My whole adult life has been working on trying to get a little of my extra weight off. I know that maintaining weight will take some work as well, since this is a lifestyle change and not just a diet, I have learned how to eat better and I have fitness goals that I have for myself, but I do look forward to the day where I have achieved that goal (although my husband did tell me that after this competition my scale is going to have a mysterious accident). Hope everyone has a fantastic week, and is getting to see progress as well.
