Elastic is not our friend

Clutter has a way

of slipping into our world without us even noticing. It piles up on our

hotspots, in our dresser drawers and on our backsides. Yes you know that very

personal clutter that we collect because we over indulge. All clutter is a

result of over indulging; too many clothes, too many shoes, too much

stuff!What do we do with our clutter? We try to disguise it by putting

it in pretty little boxes, baskets and plastic tubs. Just because we have

contained it does not make it any less clutter. In fact if you need to find

something those clutter containers throw up all over your home. In our haste to

camouflage our clutter we don't get rid of it, we just cover it up.We do

this with our bodies too! Think of it this way! Let's say our favorite jeans get

a little too tight! Instead of eliminating those sodas and sweet treats for a

week, we reach for our fat clothes. You know the ones that are hiding in your

drawer for those bloated "that time of the month" days. The ones with

drawstrings and elastic — has wearing these clothes become part of your daily

routine.Elastic is not our friend! It doesn't bring our Body Clutter to

our attention! That little uncomfortable feeling in our jeans should be just the

call to action we need to take the babysteps to declutter. I am not talking

about crash dieting either. Those don't work any better than crisis cleaning. Oh

yeah, they will help you lose the weight to get into that wedding dress or

bathing suit, but after you accomplish your unrealistic goal, the weight will

come back and more to boot! We don't need any more weight in our

boots.Here is what we can do to address our Body Clutter:

1. Don't wear clothes with elastic or drawstrings.
2. Weigh every day! This
