Sisterly Visit

My sister came to visit over the weekend.  Her husband is in the military and they are stationed in Japan.  I hadn't seen her for about two years.  I hadn't seen my brother-in-law over three years.  It was great to see them again!

I felt a little embarrassed about my weight.  I realized that I've gained about 50lbs since I'd last seen both of them.  My sister and I went shopping and I couldn't try clothes on at the same stores.  We were walking through the stores and I kept seeing all these gorgeous dresses/shirts/sweaters.  There were so many things I wanted to buy, but I couldn't.   Money was saved, but that's not the point.  My closet is full of clothes I don't wear anymore because they don't fit well.  I've held onto them because "some day" they'll fit again.  It's stupid and doesn't make any sense.  Even if they fit again, my style and life have changed.

My resolution is to clean out my closet of all the old clothes.  Good will could use them.  When I need new clothes I'll buy go out and buy them with my sister.
