Stop It!

I was watching What Not To Wear earlier this afternoon and I just felt like throwing all my clothes away and starting over!

This led me back to the quote I found while looking on Pintrest last night.

"You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one."

So, I went into my room and started pulling clothes out of my closet and dresser.  I am donating over 38 pieces of clothing. (Not trying to brag about that at all!)  I am donating these items for a couple of reasons. 

First, someone out there NEEDS them. I want to be able to bless someone else's life, which are the words I prayed as I began pulling them out. 

Second, I HAVE to LET GO OF THE PAST! All of the clothes I am getting rid of are the clothes that I wore when I was on Weight Watchers, when I was at my smallest.  I have been holding on to these clothes "hoping" and "wishing" someday to fit back into them. I am not that person anymore and holding on to those clothes are only holding me back and staying focused on where I was instead of where I am now.  NO, I do NOT like where I am now.  I do NOT like that I have gained so much weight and can't fit into those clothes anymore.  But, that's where I am.

It's time to stop focusing on the past and start looking towards the future!  It's hard.  REALLY HARD.  I want to start FRESH.  I want to recreate myself into who I really want to be/should be/need to be.

As I logged on to start writing this blog, I saw an update from another blog that I am following which went along perfectly.  Check it out. STOP IT!  It's much easier said than done.

I SERIOUSLY NEED PRAYERS TO CHANGE MY LIFE!!!! I have been stuck in this bottomless pit for far too long and I CANNOT get out by myself!!! I need a SUPPORT group!!! I need people there for when I am weak and lonely and tired. Please help me!!!

SO much more I want to say, but I will save that for a later date.
