Oh how the stars have aligned today perfectly for me to have
anything something cohesive to blog.
January 1, 2008: I write new year’s resolutions to increase sightings of
Snazzy Holly. 1 week ago: I arranged for a pick up of
my crap used items by the Salvation Army. Yesterday: I watched Oprah. Today: the pick up is happening. Today: is the inaugural Fight the Frump with Fussy. See how the plan has come together?
Surely you didn’t miss Oprah yesterday with Peter Walsh, but if you are not squarely in her ideal demographic like I am here is the bottom line: The same things that make your house fat and messy make you fat and messy.
So, this morning
instead of feeding my children I rushed through my closet for 10 minutes grabbing out the fat to add to my Salvation Army pick up pile.
This was just a spur of the moment sort. I only grabbed things that I hadn’t worn in over a year or disliked. I just grabbed and stuffed into bags. No deep decisions, no mulling over each item, no givers remorse. I just grabbed and stuffed.
So, two large garbage bags later my closet is at least 20 pounds lighter. Not bad for a 10 minute diet.

you seriously make…me…laugh! you are a riot! and ya know, throwing and stuffing is way better than thinking. i do that and still my closet carries the extra weight, just as i. nice work. now. have you fed the kids yet? just checking.
Today, I posted a small excerpt from my book. Come by and give me your thoughts — and have a fantastic Friday.
Ooooh. Great idea….when can you do my closet?
Good for you!
If trashing my clothes would help me lose these last 15 pounds of ‘baby fat’, I’d empty my closet and go naked 😉
Wish I’d seen the show!
As I posted, I did a major declutter a few weeks ago, but as I was in the process of moving a BUNCH of stuff to storage, a lot of things when in boxes that probably shouldn’t have – I’ll be doing this again. It was SUCH a liberating feeling!
Great post.
i love purging! i just did this the other day. It is such a great feeling!
If only all diets worked that quickly…
I’ve got some purging to do. Not the food kind either.
Blessings,

my husband came home and stole the tv from me. but i do a semi annual purge of our closets. my hubby is still slow to give up his stuff. but i purge without delay!
I haven’t watched the show yet, but it’s waiting on my DRV. But you have inspired me, Holly! My closet’s getting decluttered tomorrow! (No, that’s not an excuse–I’m at work!)
I watched the show too! I wanted to throw out my junk, but I’m too busy blogging.
Uh, is that an excuse? LOL!
I think your butt looks great.
