Like you say - the world doesn't end when we don't have the exactly perfect outfit. Someone posted earlier about using their current closet for a New Year's Eve outfit - and she totally survived :) I’m sending a whole bag of things to Amvets later this week. ;)

I'm thinking that many of us will have moments of weakness over these next 8 months (especially as the seasons change) and it's good to hear how others are coping with their slips.

I went on this diet because of our rampant consumption of "stuff" but never really thought of the energy I have been wasting in pursuit of having more stuff... a real aha moment here..
