Cooler Weather means a wardrobe change!!!

Tonight as I was outside, I quickly thought, it's time to look at my fall/winter wardrobe options.  For alot of people, that means, get last years fall/winter clothes ready, and pack some of the summer stuff away for next summer.  I find this a little more frustrating!  In Sept of 06, I had lapband surgery, By Sept of 07, was taking loads of clothes to GOODWILL, WHY?  I would never need them again!!!!! (so I thought)  Sept of 08, most of those clothes still fit, some of them must have shrunk in storage! (Right?!?) Sept of 09.......ugh!  Frustrating, had to buy some new fall/winter clothes, but not too many, the minimum.. just to get by until I can get these,  "few extra sets of ......10 extra pounds off."    Get my point?   ( have 2 fall/winter wardrobes)  One that I would love to be able to get into by Christmas.....hmmm. I don't know how realistic I am being, but I am looking forward to wearing clothes that I didn't wear last fall/winter.   I should just pack up my summer clothes now and take them to GOODWILL, because I have this figured out now...I'm winning this battle.  I am getting excited about changes over the  next year.  BUT, maybe this time I need to keep a box of those clothes on my top shelf in my closet.....maybe it will be fun to make a quilt or something out of them someday.  A little reminder that,  I use to have issues every year with last years wardrobe.  hmmm.  A Victory Quilt!   I'm thinking my goal will be to go a full year, saving a box of spring/summer and then a box of fall/winter clothes.  This will take awhile, I understand that, but after I  maintain my goal weight for a year, I will get those clothes down and decide what to do with them......but I'm thinking a "Victory Quilt" is a great idea.   Using my OLD TOO BIG CLOTHES, to make a Quilt, to keep my NEW THINNER HEALTH BODY warm!   WoW!   Am I brilliant or what?  LOL!!!!!! 
Honestly, it will have more meaning to me than that, and help be a constant reminder of winning the lifelong battle of weight issues.   It's gonna be the coolest quilt ever!
I think this Blog is helping me alot too, sometimes I start writing,  without really knowing what to say, but it always ends up somehow encouraging me when I am done.
