Good Deeds & Good Work

Lauren gave away her "fat" clothes this weekend.

That's a big step for a self-described "cheap-skape" New Englander. But she felt she needed to make a commitment to herself, to her slimming, healthier self, putting up a big, neon sign for the Universe:

THIS IS NOT WHO I AM ANYMORE!

So she loaded up two very large garbage bags with stuff she bought 50 lbs. ago and we hauled them off to Goodwill. Her more formal clothes will be going to Dress for Success, a charity that outfits lower-income women in business attire so they can get better jobs. Good deeds, the result of a lot of hard work Lauren has done, sticking to the fat-burning program and exercising regularly.

Look for more donations to come from my growing (and shrinking!) team.
