    I got rid of all the clothes that didn’t fit when I became a minimalist 3 years ago. I am not a clothes person, so I wear the same ting every day. I got 3 dark blue jeans and 6 dark blue T-shirts and a jacket to wear on cold days. I wear a uniform at work so this is enough. I also have hiking wear and gym clothes and two dresses. But all in all I own less than 30 pieces of clothes and shoes. For me this is perfect.

    I replaced scrubs too soon because I was down to one pair for my body shape at the time. I started my weight loss and bought new scrubs because I needed some that fitted me .. & boom! 7 months later I was 61lbs lighter. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I barely started wearing my new scrubs like 1-2 months ago. $2000 Figs that don’t fit.

  • @karenking999
    @karenking999 Год назад +11

    After my first child (long ago), I assumed if I reached my pre-pregnancy weight the clothes would fit fine. Well, I did get back to that weight and although most things fit well, one dress that had fit just right no longer did. No one ever told me that having a baby changes your body in other ways than weight. Your shape is just not the same. Of course, it was certainly worth it. Just would be helpful if we knew some of these things in advance.

    Having babies in your late 30s is no joke for your body! I turned 37 right after I had my twins and 39 a few months after my third. She’s five now and I’ve never quite gotten back to my before-kids body. In some ways, it’s better now (I’m definitely stronger), but everything just different. Embracing where I am (body and season) has been so helpful. ♥️

    Wow Shannon, you got rid of a lot. Years ago I lost a lot of weight.....many sizes. I ended up gaining the weight back I lost and then some. I kept all of those clothes for years hoping to lose that weight. Stupid me bought all of those new sizes brand new. So some, such as summer, I only wore 1 year. Ouch! Very good to set a limit. You did great.

    • @shannontorrens1

    I’m in this situation right now…I’m trying not to ‘panic’ buy. I literally do not have a cardigan to wear in fall and it is my necessary third layer. I just had to go buy a pair of cheap jeans so I had something to put on my body. None of my jeans fit. I had sudden excessive weight gain due to health problems. Even all my ‘largest ‘size clothes that I usually keep do not fit. Thank goodness for my capsule mindset so I don’t need to by much but just a few necessary items.

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  Год назад

      Hi Sarah, panic buying is a real thing! It has already happened to me as you saw in this declutter. I had nothing to wear and just bought the first thing I saw only to find out that it didn't fit that great. It really is great to know just a few items can get us to that next stage.

  • @bananaanna1373

    I lost a lot of weight, bought a limited amount of clothing that I like (as I had turned to minimalism) and got rid of everything else , except for just a few pieces that I loved and were only a little on the big side. Then a lot of things happened, including moving across the country and living in Air BnBs for 5 months. Then high stress and grieving came my way via a mom and dad with severe health issues that got very scary. All of this added up to 20++ pounds. I have bought some things because I had to, HAD TO, but I’m determined to lose it. Oh, but the pounds are hard to lose and the motivation is hard find. Bless you Shannon and everyone else who is trying to win against the challenge of weight loss. ((((Kept the clothes that I was wearing for a little while. They are in good enough shape and I want to go smaller than they are so they should be a step in the weight loss journey, not the goal.)))

    Shannon, you are such an encouragement and inspiration to me. I love your how you have such a healthy outlook regarding gaining weight or losing weight during different seasons of life. I used to always beat myself up when these times would happen but that just makes us feel worse doesn't it? Actually facing it and removing what doesn't work for us right now and seeing what does work makes us just feel good and we deserve to feel good in our clothing. I love the method to your organization in this video regarding this. Your mom and my mom would get along great bc my mom loves to shop too! I just want to find the replacements as quickly as I can and move on haha
    Thank you for the tip about actually writing it down on paper, the items that we need as replacements. Usually I just try to tell myself I'll remember and then I go to open the drawer and I don't have any PJ pants Etc or like only two long sleeve shirts. This morning I decluttered a pair of pajama pants and thought, "I won't worry about that for a while"...but I'm going to write it down. Yesterday I let go of at least 10 items which included four pieces of clothing, one pr of athletic shoes and other home goods things. Go us!!! Your space looks refreshing & so does mine!😉☕️🍁🍂

I am like you I want to just find the items I need quickly. The fact that I have already been to 3 stores and not found what I wanted is very frustrating. I am still on the hunt for what I need, but being picky combined with only wanting certain items makes it hard. So happy to hear you space is also looking refreshed =)

A couple years ago, I had the same idea and had purchased this vest to wear in the house that was made out of like plush fur or whatever. I thought, well it'll be nice and warm and it's so soft.. plus I'm just in the house so why does it matter what something looks like? Sometimes though, I would keep it on and run out and do an errand and catch a glimpse of myself and it was not good. I held on to it because it fit and I told myself, you are just being picky. Then after watching one of your videos and seeing how matter of fact you are, I thought to myself, yeah I'm letting this go! Turns out, I do care what I look like even if I'm just in the house Etc Truly, it made me look like a stuffed animal LOL I decided there are other things to wear to keep warm in the house that don't make you feel like a child's plush toy!

    Thank you so much for making this video! 💗 I need to declutter my clothes too, but the task is so daunting to me I feel it almost gives me a headache any time I think of it.
    I own a lot of sentimental pieces- things I wore at 57- 62 kgs. However after having the kid I am quite uncertain if I'd ever squeeze back into my clothes from when I was like 20- 25 yo. 😆 To be honest I am not even sure I want my old weight fully back to what it once was but still getting rid of the clothes almost feels like loosing moments from the past.
    It sounds crazy.
    Your video really helped me on making my mind - I will gather just a few sentimental pieces in a box and get rid of everything else that does not fit me as I am now. ^.^

      I am also still making my way back to my previous pre baby weight, but I refuse to do anything radical so it's taking a long time. Long story short I don't regret anything I got rid of =)

    Oh yeah… I gained weight after I stopped breastfeeding this spring (after breastfeeding two kids for more than two years, almost 4 years without break). I am lucky and it is only two summer shorts I couldn’t wear anymore. A few other things were a bit tighter, but they worked. And I already lost the weight almost everywhere but I am not sure if my waist will go back to my old normal… I give myself until next summer. Then I will declutter the shorts if they don’t fit then. And a few skirts that are quite uncomfortable (although they still somehow fit), too. Some of them I bought in school and I do not have to go back to my teen body.

    I’m hoping to lose weight and don’t want to completely declutter my wardrobe. I gained at least 20 pounds due to a side effect from medication and I’m hoping I will be able to lose it. I don’t want to spend money on a whole new wardrobe either so am giving myself grace so as not to stress myself.❤️🙏

      Girl, same here. How did it happen so quickly. Seems I have more to stow away than there is things that fit. Honestly hate shopping for clothes. I find s few things then out grow it before i get a chsnce to wear it. I need comfy pants with pockets.
      but not necessarily sweatpants.
      but thats where im at 1 pair of rough edge pants i almost decluttered but glad i kept because its only pair of loosefitting pants. 1 yoga 2 sweatpants and one of dark jeans that button but can't wear them long feelin squished and overheat....
      recently also split a supercomfy pair of pj pants that had years of wear.
      pants that got lots of wear...unfortunately it happened when I was sitting with my mom who visited first time in years..
      sorting through a box. she couldnt sit in my room so we didnt get far unless i csme out wearing each thing...so decided to just come visit whild sortinh a box and... riiip.
      then she lsughed as I got up snd gave her s partial moon.
      few clothes that were given to me with good intentions from s friend who was decluttering her own.. thanks but Im still sorting through clothes.....Ill just leave it here for you to try...i havd plenty to try but thanks...she left it anyway.
      i tried them...and they were maternity clothes....cute but I'm not pregnant.....its happening again.
      started a donate bag for mamas for mamas. posted a couple New but don't fit things.
      the few sweaters that are not too tight are boxy..and feel tent like
      I need to go get a fresh set of a few things at Old navy... comfy clothes without being expensive.
      except I need to get some of this out. my place is small.. no basement or extra storage..so half of my closet is storing seasonal/ non fit other half is clothes I thought I'd wear.
      couple piles Of clothes I actually do wear...no space. too much that doesn't work.
      weigh fluctuating again.

      Hi Brandi, I am the same way with maternity clothes. After I have my baby I don't want to ever see maternity clothes again LOL. I usually just get things when I am already out if something catches my eye. Sometimes I find things at Costco or at thrift stores. I recently went to Macy's because I have had luck there before but this time they didn't have anything I liked. So a few days ago I actually ordered a few things off Amazon (which I never do, but I thought it was worth a try). For some reason I am really struggling to find things I like, maybe the trends and styles out there right now just don't look good on me.
