Tonight I was with my friend Portia who has been contemplating going on this diet for 11 months now. I told her that I have decided to extend the diet for one more year, in light of the fact that there have been so many people interested in joining the effort in the past few weeks (here we go again). When I told Portia it wasn’t too late to realize the benefits of clothing deprivation she hooped and hollered “That’s what I need, a closet colonic.” The visual made me gag. She went on to claim, “Deep within my big, fat, bloated walk-in closet there is a skinny one begging to be free.” Portia, warming to the idea, is going to “think about it,” before she commits. Let me be clear…I am not doing this for another year myself but I will moderate, facilitate, contemplate and write about life post diet.
Alright already Portia—stop the squawkin’ and start walkin’ give your closet the future it deserves with a purge, a cleanse a regular down home colonic. We’re here my dear and waiting to hear how it all “flushes out.”
Wow that’s fantastic news! I was worried about lack of support post September, thank you Sally!
Oh goody–I’m really thinking about joining up. My only concern is that I’ve finally gotten my thyroid diagnosed and am on proper medication. I’m losing a lot of weight. I wonder if I could do it with some provision for replacing absolutely vital items when they literally fall off me?
Yay! I was going to start this on my own, with a small band of fellow-travelers, on Aug. 16…but having the official project still going will be great.
Way to go Sally. It will be nice to have support from the time your diet ends in September until the time my diet ends at the end of December.
Thank YOU! I am joining this diet from August to December and would love the support. I have to admit that I am filling gaps in my wardrobe in the last few days before I start but I am determined to do this.
Thanks again Sally!
Good, because I just started on 7/21. The first I’d heard of it, but wonderful idea!
you have inspired me to finally give the man of I love 1/2 the closet space. I painfully thinned out my closet and showed him proudly when he returned home… his response…”I really only wanted 1/2 the garage space”.
