Thankful for Goodwill and Yard Sales!
Posted September 11th, 2008 at 11:24 AM by HappyHeFoundMe
I LOVE a good yard sale. In fact, I spend most Saturday mornings in pursuit of excellent deals at yard sales in my area. However, I have come to appreciate them much more in the last week or two. I recently HAD to buy some new clothes because my old clothes were either worn to shreds or getting too loose from doing Atkins. So, I found some great denim capris and jeans at Goodwill in a smaller size and went happily home with my purchases. Mind you, I didn't buy much because I knew that I would be losing more. Well, I have been cheat-free for 2 months and have really stepped up my exercise routine over the last week and guess what. Yep, I'm now having to look at even smaller sizes!
I am so amazed because I have never shrunk so quickly on other diets before. Don't get me wrong; I'm NOT complaining, not by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just really thankful for Goodwill and Yard Sales!!

I am a Goodwill fan as well. Better than yard sales since you can try them on! I wait til the end of month $1.49 sale. I snagged a gorgeous dress for winter, size 14, I will be a size 14 by Winter, and you can't beat that price. My current work pants and skirt I bought at Goodwill at the end of July. Didn't fit then, do now!
Pretty much all of my shoes come from there, I am a common size in shoes. Once I get smaller I will do even better, almost all of the really great clothes in Goodwill are small, like 8's and 10's. The bigger sizes are usually more worn, but you can find like new 'designers' in the small sizes!
And as I get smaller, guess where my 'fat clothes' are going! I am not keeping them this time!
Good job on your shrinking, it is almost mind-blowing how fast your body can change on Atkins if you work it!Posted September 11th, 2008 at 11:53 AM by momtomany1

Great Happy. I too shop yard sales and we sometimes go to goodwill but mostly the Salvation Army I plan on having to shop there soon! I hope I do anyway!
I hope to find Dr. A's book since mine was borrowed from the library and had to go back. :-(
