I have to be honest, I have been a little nervous and let's just say it... afraid to try on clothes in my very own closet or at a store.
Why? you ask, well it is simple.
Even though I am losing weight and loving it, there is still a small part of me that thinks I am still 231 lbs. That I am still a size 20/22.
That I am still not small enough to fit into a specific size.
Have you ever felt this way?
I strongly believe that the worst critics in our life are our own self... US!
We judge ourselves so harshly and are our best enemy. We know ourselves so well, yet we are fearful of trusting ourself. Why???
Well this past weekend I took that fear and turned it into courage. I faced one of my biggest fears and tried on clothes in my closet, clothes I had not worn in a loooooong looong loong time! and some of them fit, others were too loose and then there were the trophy jeans that weren't even close to fitting me.
However I did not get discouraged, I did not feel sad, upset or depressed. Instead I used it as my motivation for this week and on Monday even though it was a day off {a holiday} and a day of rest, I hit the gym... did my 30 minute walk and watched diligently what I ate!
So this will be a weekly post, one that other bloggers will be linking to and maybe we can inspire you to move, to make healthier choices, to drink more water, to watch your portions and to "shop" in your very own closet. You might be surprised at what fits!
Here is my first Wear It Again Wednesday picture, my outfit one I had not worn in at least 3 years!
My pants are size and top are size 16 and I'm wearing 3" heels along with my biggest smile!
Have you shopped in your own closet lately?
How did you feel?
