One of my comments received a lot of attention, so I thought I would make a post about it. This advice doesn’t necessarily help your diet, but it will help your self confidence, and it will save you a lot of frustration when it comes to deciding what to wear each day.
Clean out your closet. Full stop. It’s that simple. About a month ago, I went through my closet and tried everything on. There’s plenty that I don’t fit into right now but will in 5, 10, 20+ pounds down that I can’t bare to part with, but it kills my self confidence every time I try to pick out a cute outfit and I’m faced with all of the things that are too small. Everything that fits now, and that I still love, went back into the closet. I have two closets, so everything that will fit in 5-10lbs got hung up in the second closet because, realistically, they’ll fit by the end of the summer at my current rate of loss, and I enjoy having these pieces out as a sort of motivation. Anything else got folded up and put into a tote on the floor of my closet with the smallest items at the bottom of the tote and the largest at the top. I also got rid of things with holes or put the things that aren’t my current style into a donate box.
Now, when I get dressed, everything in my closet fits. I’m not trying on that cute dress that I feel stuffed into because I desperately want it to fit. This has also shown me where I need a few pieces at my current size to be comfortable and to be able to make outfits with what currently fits. For example, I don’t have a pair of denim shorts in my current size. This has saved me from feeling like I need a whole new wardrobe right now, and honestly it’s made getting dressed way less of a negative experience for me. Every time I open my closet, I’m only faced with the pieces that fit and make me feel confidant at my current weight. Weight loss feels like a bit less of a chore for me now, and I’m feeling way more confidant as a result of this.
What other non-diet changes have helped you during your weight loss journey?
