Should I Keep Clothes That Don’t Fit?


Listen Later

"I have a number of clothing items that don’t fit in boxes on the top of my cupboard. My weight fluctuates so frequently (and I have a newborn) that it seems irresponsible to get rid of things that don’t fit, yet I hate having clutter! Should I keep clothes that don't currently fit? When do I just let it go?"

 

Keeping clothes that don't fit prevents you from accepting your body as it is today. Still, we all do it, as our "skinny" clothes encourage us to hold onto past glories of thinness and youth.

On this short and sweet episode I'm answering a listener's question about best practices for regarding storing clothing items that don't fit our bodies right now.

Here's a preview:

[5:00] Challenging 3 commonly held beliefs about size and worth

[7:00] The real problems with keeping clothes that don't fit in your closet

[11:40] Considering a future reality (not a future fantasy)

[15:00] 3 steps to storing clothes that don't currently fit
