I am getting better at letting things go that just don't make me as happy as they used to. It's a process, that's for sure!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself/page/2#post-1256089 Tue, 20 May 2014 01:38:25 +0000 pil 1256089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which reminds me of something my husband said back when we had a couple of garage sales - He wanted to get to the point where he could say he "wished we hadn't sold that". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself/page/2#post-1255999 Tue, 20 May 2014 00:12:42 +0000 Anonymous 1255999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job, Cheryl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself/page/2#post-1255989 Tue, 20 May 2014 00:06:51 +0000 Aida 1255989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! I have trouble with that too, I empathize.

As CL said, you can always have a 'holding zone' for the not 100% sure pieces, and do a final sort before you take them away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself/page/2#post-1255904 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:12:46 +0000 Sarah A 1255904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!

It feels good to pass on things that you no longer need. </p> <p>I must admit that I've never had a hard time letting go of stuff. I've never been a saver and I actually like to get rid of things that aren't being used. I'm the same with house stuff too. A couple of years ago I got pretty ruthless in cleaning out household drawers and cabinets. One simple method of evaluation that helped me was to ask myself if something is useful and if not useful, is it beautiful or something I love. If neither, it's time to pass it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself/page/2#post-1255848 Mon, 19 May 2014 20:51:53 +0000 Ginkgo 1255848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Cheryl! &nbsp;It is tough but how good it feels to start dislodging all that unused stuff. &nbsp;I plan to tackle our kitchen this week and you've inspired me to get serious and just do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255747 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:17:00 +0000 rachylou 1255747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go you!

Reminds me that's why to try not to overbuy because it isn't really easy to let go once you have it. Good for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255385 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:43:45 +0000 Neel 1255385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burden of seeing clothes that we do not like enough anymore is much more than the donate process. And donating to a good cause always makes it all easier </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255358 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:18:05 +0000 rabbit 1255358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job!! &nbsp;I took some bags to Goodwill today too. Something about going through the sorting process pretty&nbsp;frequently makes it easier for me. &nbsp;If I'm not sure about getting rid of something on the first sort, if I sort it again a few&nbsp;weeks later I'm usually ready to let it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255282 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:13:11 +0000 deb 1255282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255280 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:05:57 +0000 Jaime 1255280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255249 Mon, 19 May 2014 01:08:55 +0000 LACeleste 1255249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great going Cheryl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255159 Sun, 18 May 2014 22:22:59 +0000 pil 1255159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you, Cheryl! I was telling myself just this morning that I should set a goal to get one thing out of the house every day. We just have so much STUFF. Things of my mother in law's in a storage unit, things that our boys have left and don't use, and things of our own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255151 Sun, 18 May 2014 22:14:31 +0000 Caro in Oz 1255151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done - go you &amp;&nbsp;it does get easier :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255129 Sun, 18 May 2014 21:27:02 +0000 Laura J 1255129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go! &nbsp;I'm working on the same thing. &nbsp;For years, I was overwhelmed by the amount of my clothing. &nbsp;In the past month, I've finally started to downsize in a huge way. &nbsp;It's embarrassing how many things I've donated and am donating. &nbsp;But I am glad to not be overwhelmed by my wardrobe! &nbsp;If you don't have a place to donate to, I would suggest contacting your local homeless shelter and seeing if they will give your clothes free of charge to the residents at the shelter. &nbsp;The rescue mission in Atlantic City does give women and children at the shelter free clothes from the donations, so I take my things there. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/proud-of-myself#post-1255128 Sun, 18 May 2014 21:26:29 +0000 lyn* 1255128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember my very first haul off was hard, but it gets easier! </p>
