All day today I have been washing my clothes, putting summer clothes that I wore this summer and last in a bag to give to Goodwill. I am getting myself in the mindset that I will not be able to wear them next summer, so the time for them to leave is now in order for me to make room for what this journey has to give me. Out with the old to make room for the new. In my adult life I have not been smaller than a size 14 and I didn't stay at that weight that long, so I have a few 14 size clothing that I washed today and are now handing. They have replaced the size 20/22's that are now too big on me. I am in a size 16/18 my RNY date is Oct. 15, 2012 so I should be in the size 14 very soon. I went to goodwill today just to look around and some of the clothing, they have some very cute things there. I think that I will start picking up a pice or two every week until I can get into them, that will motivate me to work harder to get into them as I LOVE nice clothing and I have found some very nice designer things that I would totally rock. I bought one today It is a size small green and brown sweater that is made from 100% Organic Cotton...I couldn't walk away from it. As I wash my clothing I am starting to pack my bag for the hospital. The only thing that is in there thus far is my robe it's very thick cotton and very warm, I'm always cold and I'm sure I will be there also, so I plan on keeping it on the whole time that I'm there. Today is also the second day of my liver shrinking diet and I did very good. My plan is to follow all the rules and have a smooth recovery. I'm very happy and can't wait until my date is here...ONLY 9 DAYS TO GO!!!
