OMG-I didn't know why I read this post as I have never been those sizes but Suz, the terms "undergoing expansions" and "trying to decluttter" -well, I really don't have the words. First I chuckled. They I thought, oh my goodness! Then pit of realization in my stomach. Then, that's what that book about letting go of clutter, letting go of weight, meant.
If I see losing weight as letting go of clutter, the same way as I'm trying to do in my house (getting rid of the extras so I have more space to breathe, and to make it easier to see how to lay it out, etc.), like Michelangelo getting rid of the "not statue" part of the block of clay. Oh my oh my oh my.
Very profound. Thank you.
