Clutter and Weight Gain....Related?

Category: Daily Diary

Interesting. Peter Walsh is convinced that clutter and weight gain are related.

(This is a photo of the room that would eventually become Grace's room. Taken on the first day we moved into the house. I have no idea why I didn't just run screaming out of the house at this point.)

What do you think?

I'm still mulling it over. It's an interesting connection. If it's true, the fact that I am no longer my svelte size 6/8 self after purchasing this house has everything to do with this:

...and nothing to do with, you know, hitting 40, having a kid, spending less time running, etc.

Though! The fact that I slid back into a size 10 this weekend at 42 and still haven't hit the gym yet? Might have everything to do with this:

These new front rooms are making my butt look FAB-U-LOUS. I'm not moving anything in there. They are staying empty forever.

p.s. On a related-note > Earth Day today! Related because there is a reason why the word REDUCE is used first in the phrase REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. Also, there should be a fourth "R" in there. REPAIR.

p.p.s. Best quote I've heard this morning on the radio: We are never going to shop our way to environmental health.

3 words: Byu-Tee-Ful! I love the color choices. The hard work definitely paid off!

Place your bets now on when we can tune in to The Biggest Loser: Home Edition!

I'm with you on the fourth "r" of green living, Jeanne. Most things that can be repaired probably equal or exceed the quality of replacement goods anyway.

Those rooms look amazing! What a transformation.

It looks so gorgeous!

WOW!!

WOW! When I visited you three years ago I had my doubts that anyone could pull it off. You have done an AMAZING job. Sit back and enjoy.

I hope my Oak Park bungalow living room someday looks like yours. Well-done!

Your butt looks fabulous!

(Oh, the house is nice, too!)
