I’m feeling a mix of pride and shame today. Why? Because I’ve finally forced myself to have a clothing clearout - but as glad as I am that I’ve finally done it, I’m a little bit horrified at how much I had.
I’ve been promising myself all through the second lockdown that I’d do this. It’s taken until it’s nearly over, but I’ve done it - or at least, I’ve made a good inroad. What’s been tough is that I’m trying to lose weight, so keep wanting to hold on to clothes with the aim to ‘slim into them’, but I’ve had to accept some are probably beyond that stage.
So yes, I’m proud of myself. But I’m ashamed at how much money I’ve wasted over the years. I really didn’t need that much clothing. For obvious reasons, I’ve bought a lot less over the last year; mainly some bits in bigger sizes to tide me over 
But I really want to retrain myself to keep being sensible; to not fall into the trap of buying more and more because I’m easily bored.
Please tell me I’m not the only person who’s had to do this during lockdown! And if you’ve broken the cycle, tell me about it to inspire me for the future!
