Title: When it no longer fits....
Post by: quiller on September 15, 2014, 09:44:43 AM
Small victories matter, dont'cha know.

After both my wife and I lost weight --- and kept it off for two years each --- our really outsized clothes kept piling up...and up...until today.

She Who Must be Obeyed™ just got back from the Salvation Army Red Shield store, after delivering four contractor-sized trash bags of our cast-offs. She says there's even more that can go, but that's a start. I hope the items get to where they're needed.

Did you remember to ask for a tax deduction slip?

I remembered it is a Christian charity.

Congratulations on you and your wife's weight loss.   :thumbsup:

Now the fun part......time to shop for new clothes.

(I've actually bought a few things at the Salvation Army store that I've had for years and still wear).   :biggrin:
