I hope you enjoy the fur babies playing the background the ENTIRE video 🤣
You got this ! One bag at a time. This decluttering session was a real success : now you have a functional dresser in your room.
💃🥳 Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Libby, you're doing great! Don't worry too much about the clothes that don't fit. What you might consider is packing them all up together and then putting a time limit on them. Like if you don't fit them in a year you let them go. It gives you time, little pressure, but also a limit so the clothes don't sit forever making you feel bad for not fitting into them.
I’m so glad I found you ❤💕🥰 it’s so hard to find TH-camrs that aren’t based on asthetic. Thank you 🙏 if I’m going to allow social media in my life it’s going to be simple voices of honesty and humor❤ and fluffy friends of course 😂♥️💕👍 you got this 👏🙌
This is too kind!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
have done this, and gone up and down 50 pounds since. YES, but don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ve been skinny in Ferragamo and unhappy and heavy and lookin fine in a cute thrifted outfit!!!! supporting you ❤
You're doing awesome and your so encouraging to me. I love that you are talking more because you have a wonderful personality, you're funny and you remind me to have more self compassion.❤
Your journey reminds me of Mira from Peeling Away the Clutter. She is also doing a little bit at a time, which is much more realistic than a whole house/life makeover in one weekend!
Mira has been helped by bonnie from a beautiful mess. Maybe lobby could reach out to her for support.
Libby !!! Oh man you are amazing. You set a goal and saw it through 👏 and you were gracious, vulnerable, beautiful, generous, authentic and very funny through it all. I cried and I laughed ❤ You are really doing excellent on decluttering. Keep doing what you doing. The questions were amazing 👌
i agree with other comments, start gathering your smaller clothes and store away together. You have a few items in your dresser that are smaller put them all together maybe in the bottom drawer for now and keep adding as you declutter. Once the bottom drawer is full you can start boxing elsewhere. As you gather 'like' items together, through decluttering, your storage needs will change. Be adaptable with storage solutions as you gather like items.
I love your blue dresser 💙 no tips on restoration but your idea sounds good just make sure its wipeable. Not paper.
Stickers tip... Dont buy them 😂 hahaha maybe take the ones you have and stick them in a journal or photo album.
You really did a fab job decluttering. Honestly so proud of you. As you go the path will appear... Hanging space next video ? 😂
Much love and light sweet Libby, youve got this 💪
Thank you so much for the motivation! 🎉Time flew by watching your video, it was so much fun watching and listening! Love from the Netherlands
Welcome and thank you so much! ❤️❤️
You are doing great!! One bag at a time. You can do this Libby. The more you do this the easier it will become for you. We are all proud of you.
I subscribed today because you "talk through it". I have crates and boxes of clothes I need to go through sitting in my bathroom right now....I have been avoiding it and walking around it for a week now. I even bought nice velvet hangers and trash bags. Hoping your video gets me to tackle it TODAY
You got this!❤️
Well done! You are setting managable goals and accomplishing so much. I'm rooting for you!!
Libby, I totally understand your struggle with weight gain. I’m in a similar place myself but please remember you can’t loose weight while stressed. You will loose the weight but right now you have your move to focus on. We go through different phases in life and you’ll find your way back to a weight you are more comfortable with!
As someone who sorts through donations at goodwill, thank you for not donating your things with holes in them lol. Also, be gentle with yourself. I know what it's like to gain weight and feel like your only options are leggings and biker shorts. If you can, buy some jean shorts that fit you at the weight you are now. Don't hold onto things that don't fit you, it will only clutter your space and your mind. Keep only what makes you joyful 😊
Libby.
I just started watching you. I listened to your history of the bad husband but I'm really proud of you. I think you do really good Rais in your son and give yourself a Pat on the back. Because it has been hard on know. I am 60 years old now. I really enjoyed watching you. But I know life can be hard.I've never dealt with abuse.But I have had mental abuse which can be just as bad❤❤❤❤❤
It's so mentally exhausting to go through clothes that we no longer fit into. I would box up all the top favs of the non fitting stuff and keep them boxed even after you've moved until you lose the weight. You will lose it eventually. But having it in your face hung up or folded in a drawer is a mood downer. This is what I do.
I love listening to you talk instead of music. It's better for you also to talk it through, like your venting via video which is great.
The furbabies are all so sweet and adorable, they obviously love you 😍 lots.
Yeah, you would've been better off keeping the room he's in but I get that you needed your space asap. "Men" ugh!
Right now you're just self nurturing, soothing yourself with food, I do it as well.
Once you're moved and the whole space will be yours, you'll be able to live better, less stress\anxiety, better food choices......bit by bit you'll get back on track. For now, you're doing the best you can, considering what you're dealing with. You take care my friend 😊❤ 🫂 🤗
I think the next video ill put it with ny "winter" clothes. Just so they arent staring at me 🤣
Yeahh men are fun, lol! Thank you for the support, friend! ❤️
The pups and kitties love you - they adore being around you - it's so lovely. Congratulations of planning to tackle a section - completing that - then giving yourself a good dose of gratitude and love for that - then a rest - which you deserve 😊
Thank you so much! ❤️
First video of yours i have seen. Love it❤. You did great! Something is better than nothing i say to help when im stuck❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your hard work! Really inspiring and remember you arent alone!
It's exhausting to look at things you no longer fit in. When I fluctuated weights after major life events, I put a limited amoutn of nice non-fitting clothing away. I was so glad I did when I lost a couple of dress-sizes because buying a new wardrobe can be pretty expensive.
Nice job! I've kept 6 pairs of jeans and 6 shirts from before I gained weight. That way I have some but they aren't taking up a ton of room. Hugs to you. This is all hard and you're not alone. 😊🐦
I see myself in you in so many ways. I'm just coming out of my extremely depressive state and starting to get my house back in order!
A big smile when I hear you talking about using the shirt with the stain in a quilt, yay 😀
LIBBY YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY, INTELLIGENT and STRONG. Give yourself Grace and Love the skin your in because I VALUE you and YOU DESERVE it! You are a mom YOU are Woman ... Roar Girl! Hugs coming atcha
You are having good conversations with yourself and you can make the changes you want!
I love your strategy of breaking things down to small chunks. I started doing that years ago when I had a medical issue. I would do five things, like just wash five dishes. Most of the time I still do that so tasks don't seem so overwhelming.
You're not boring at all. I teach young adults and you remind me of my students. I wish you all the best! ❤
I actually always start with my pinky when counting 😂😂😂
🤣🤣 omg, I've literally never done that, and it felt so awkward.
You're a breath of fresh air ! Thank you for showing me I'm never alone in my struggles
I have a fun idea for you displaying your stickers! I have the same struggle as you 😂 you can get sticky magnet sheets to cut around the stickers and display them on the fridge. still usable as a sticker afterwards as long as you keep the backing on the sticker when you attach it to the magnet sheet ❤
Great video! Love your decluttering series❤
I have undiagnosed adhd and autism and I can totally relate to your videos. I'm constantly in the process of organising but never seem to complete it. Thank you so much cos your videos really help. Big love to you lady from the UK ❤
Love how your golden dog just swooped right in under your arm 😂❤
she said "let me just squeeze right in" lmao
Put stickers on a water bottle.. like a Stanley if you have one.
It can be overwhelming. We've all been there.
You're doing great the "little by little" way.
You are an inspiration to many people.
I can't remember who said it (Dawn fom Minimal Mom or Cass from Clutterbug. GREAT channels for decluttering/keeping your home)but you don't need your smaller sized clothes mocking you.
Get rid of the items that don't fit or make you feel bad about yourself.
Weight fluctuates throughout life. Especially as a busy mom who also goes though anxiety and depression and other life issues
I know that once I sorted our home (and yes, I know it will always need decluttering from time to time. That's life), it helped me to declutter my mind a bit. I then started doing intermittent fasting because I too was well over 200 pounds and knew that I didnt want to continue in this way. With very little effort and not changing my diet TOO much, I lost 75 pounds within six months.
I truly believe it all started with decluttering my home.
You're doing great Libby.❤
We like talking talky ❤🎉😂❤ you should watch Dana K. White and The Minimal mom.
Small clothes... just Box them all up and put them out of sight so you don't feel bad.
I appreciate itt! I have watched the minimal mom but i need to watch dana k white!
@SimplyLibbyt I think u will love Dana K White ❤ She is very real & funny (like u). Off topic but what breed is yr black + white dog?
You know what?I would do with the stickers instead of getting them stuck on something.Just put them in a little zip lock baggy or keep sake.I know we can't keep everything but they're just so precious
Videos where people talk through the whole thing are my absolute favorite. I want to clean and declutter alongside people but "ASMR cleaning sounds" are grating for me and just having music while people do stuff forces me to watch the video so I won't focus on what I'm supposed to be doing
Hi Libby. My name is Imelda. I’m new here and I’m so glad I found your channel. You are so nice and show real life which helps us feel not so alone. Thank you for being you and sharing with us. I so look forward to your videos. You inspire and motivate me. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤xx
You are so welcome! Thank you for being here❤️
So, if I were there, I'd talk to you about the answers to the questions about the short bike shorts: You say they dig into your thighs weird and you're self-conscious when you wear them, but you "like" wearing them? That "feels good"? Just food for thought, zero judgment. Sometimes we need outside perspectives! You're doing so well with this. Keep up the awesome work!
Get a reusable sticker book! You can feel good about peeling and placing the stickers, but you can still move them around and organize them until you're ready to permanently place them. It was a gamechanger for me and my stationery hoard.
Such cute unhelpers!
Definitely unhelpers 🤣
Dogs are THE BEST!❤ love this journey for u & am happy to support any way we can!!🙏🏻 love ur personality to boot!🥰
They really are rhe greatest!! Thank you soo much ❤️❤️
Aw I feel for you! I have a closet full of clothes that have fit me at one time but don’t fit me anymore and some that I wear now that never would have fit me in the past. You inspired me to start going through my mess and donating a lot of them because I’ll never wear them and a lot of them are brand new! Buys but fails. Mainly from online shopping. I’ll never learn. The fluctuation is real and So frustrating! P.S. Your pets are so cute! Love how they’re just hanging out watching you slave away! 😊
Body dysmorphia and the other things you mention are actually normal life. You are really cheerful through your travails
You have a great personality! Keep being great! First time watcher.
3:56 I like to put stickers on a bulletin board with a thumbtack so it doesn’t mess up the sticky part
That’s a heavy older dresser. You got a good deal buying that then the new crap they put out unless you can go high end and they get dried out because of not enough moisture you can re-hydrate and re-glue them.
Great progress…thank you for sharing.
I put all my smaller clothes under my bed so they don’t taunt me and when I lose weight, I take some out, when I gain weight they go back under the bed. I have clothes anywhere from xL to 3x in rotation. I feel bad too cause I lost soooo much weight and said I’d never gain it back, then I did…multiple times. It’s so hard 😢
It's so stupidly hard. Im right there with you ❤️
Me too, I always keeps 2 sizes of clothes bc my weight fluctuates!
I have various sizes of clothes. I’m a senior and have a hard time letting go of my really nice ones from when I was thin. But I am getting better at it. Plus I’m down 13 lbs from my highest weight.
Thank you for sharing because I share the same body issues and I am exactly 20 lbs heavier than my heaviest. As well. I’m also about 250 now. & I have not been able to lose ANY of it. I live in leggings as well. It is a really heavy struggle.
Hi I'm a new subscriber love watching your videos you take care have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
I soooo understand the weight issue, and not just being able to buy new clothes. I have taken my favourite ”too small” clothes, put them in a bag, and put that bag up in a top cupboard. That way I have only clothes that fit when I open my closet, and I don’t have to be reminded about my weight gain and all the bad feelings all the time!
Start with one sticker and put it where it will bring you joy I’m thinking a mirror because your smile at yourself and you will smile back at your heart
Libby you did good. I would really suggest clearing out your closet for your hanging clothes. A new home is needed for the electronics. You need a room to be your sanctuary! Give yourself that gift!
Yes! My room is turning into my favorite place!
Your animals in the background are very entertaining. 🙂
You did such a good job.
I like your personality and your chatty video. You arecso harming and real. 😊
Awe thank you! 😭❤️
Love your video,s ,totally love your fur babies they,re keeping you company .
What I do for stickers I don't want to stick on things but still wanna show off, I bought frames (cheap white ones at ikea), put some paper in there and made a collage out of the stickers without sticking them😊. Works great for me, maybe it's an option for you?
I think you are adorable and very relatable. Im new here but i so enjoy all of your videos❤
Thank you 😭❤️ youre to sweet!
Hi, i like your videos ❤. I have an answer: Stickers are for temporary use. So just use them and have fun with them. Your son will maybe appreciate it that you use them 🎉💖
And also I have the other problem, anxiety o CD that really brings on a lot of anxiety to just like what you have the opposite. Sometimes I think I'm getting that away because I get confused when I'm cleaning or maybe just do I'm getting older and don't care like I. Used to everything doesn't have to be perfect. Rome wasn't built in a day😂😂❤❤❤
You can buy those magnet sheets and turn the stickers into magnets if you want them moveable.
For sure keep what you arent okay with getting rid of. Its okay to hold onto things you cant use until you emotionally process getting rid of things. Its never good to regret any declutter decisions.
That is GENIUS!! I never thought about making them into magnets!
Thank you❤️
Drink warm water with lemon or lime everyday for a month and slowly you will see the change in your moody and body girly i went threw it too and it helped me a lot
I’m trying to get motivated by you. I have all the stuff too.
My new thing is shoving everything into those space bags. 😂😂
Those space bags are addicting though 🤣🤣
I really like your hair color! I think it suits your skin tone very well!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Make a memory journal. For small things just for you to remember.
That. regular cup of basically cream/milk with a straw stuck in it is most of the weight gain issue. Ditch sugar and white flour and drink water.
First thing you need to do is give yourself Grace. You’re going through a rough time now and so many people emotionally eat. When life is the most stressful we tend to gain weight. I have faith that when you’re ready you will be able to lose the weight.❤️🙏
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ I agree with you 100%
Girlfriend, I weigh 245 lbs. My heaviest ever. I am 56, and I have no motivation to change it, except I’m pre-diabetic. So I will keep trying to be healthier, but I will never try to be thin.
You are awesome...keep up the good work!
Stickers on fridge 😊, that's how i do it
I have the same struggles. I to was 230 gained up to 250....i am devastated!
Join the club!
I have clothes in all sizes. I only have in my closet what I can wear, but too big and too little clothes are in three containers. The reason I hold onto clothes that don’t fit is because I detest shopping. I am always trying to lose weight so I need clothes to wear when I lose weight. If I gain weight like I have in the past, I need clothes that fit. Last year I was 255. I did lose 30 pounds and now I am 222. I am again watching my calories to lose some more weight this year. I am in my 70s and you are so young. You should and can lose weight much easier than me. I encourage you to get serious about weight loss now.
I also have Sticker Commitment Phobia. I see you! ❤
This is what I'm calling it from now on! Someone said to make them into magnets, and i might do that!
@SimplyLibbyt That is a great idea!! They would look so cute. Love it 🤩
Send you hugs and love ❤🍀✨ you are beautiful 🌸
Thank you so much!! ♥♥
I will get one bag of trash and one bag of donations out my door Today! Thanks and good job!
You are too funny girl! If I had a daughter, I would pick you. Just love your personality. Now that dresser of yours just needs a slap of paint. No need for contact paper. Maybe take you ten minutes. Get the paint at WW in the craft section. No need for a whole can. Oh and maybe get a clothes rack or some rods to hang up on a wall in your bedroom. Can’t wait to see your next video. 💗
You are too kind! 😭
Hi new sub here from the Uk 🇬🇧
How come is the exboyfriend staying in the bedroom and you had to move into the office? Hmm.
Good wishes for all your efforts Libby. Your deliberations are clarifying some sticking points for me. Thankyou!
And yes definitely keep the special wee things your son made for you =)
Please do not pay any heed to folk who leave negative comments. Just be your own lovely self =)
I got very impatient and needed my own space so i squeezed into the office lol
Dude. Let me tell you! Stress is a weight killer, but i promise you are great! Dont stunt yourself to hide yourself. Show it, baby. Someone is going to love every curve on your body. :) dawn
It really is!!! Like I didn't even realize how stressed I've been for the last year. Thank you, love!! 😘
I am your sister/friend. Let me tell you. Years wasted on self hate, eating disorders, anxiety, depression. When I got back from getting treatment for my eating disorders, I edited(purge has bad conotations for me) my wardrobe.
First piece of advice is, let go of clothes that do not fit, it is okay, trust me, because you have worn them, had that joy. Give the joy to someone else. When you feel the need for something new you get to feel the joy of that new item, even if it is from a cool second hand shop.
Get rid of any clothes that are pilling, stained, unflattering, illfitting, i.e. the shoulder seams are not in the right spot. Anything that is not a flattering colour. Anything that does not reflect your true self/lifestyle.
They say that opening your closet should be like going to a great part where everyone there is someone you are excited to see.
Your clothes also should not dictate what you wear for the day, as in, I am bloated so they will be too tight, rather you should always be able to reach in and choose what you want and it should fit.
A messy/cluttered home is a reflection of what is going on inside of us. If we are unhappy, our place can easily get away from us. Give yourself grace.
When tackling clutter you can do it in managable ways like you are, by choosing a section, drawers, shelves, items-shirts, towels, etc.. You can also do it by setting a timer, do it in 15 minute increments. Praise yourself, accomplishments are accomplishments, if simply getting the dishes done that day is what you have managed that is still something. It is an act of self care. You are worth it.
Remember too, you are donating things which helps others who are struggling, a gift to them as you do for yourself.
I will not offer unsolicited advice regarding food, if you want any information that has helped me let me know, otherwise just know I support you. Be kind to yourself.
😊
What’s the song at 16.17?
Hey girlfriend, keep up the good work. I have the same problem...increasing in size and having to throw out clothes that are too small. P.s. how many pets do you have? I have 4, 1 dog, 3 cats.
I have 3 dogs and 4 cats. 1 pup will be moving with me as well as 2 cats. Im trying to rehome 2 of the cats but im extremely picky so its taking a bit lol
why not get just 6 pairs of fav pants 12 t-shirts your most fav and 12 knickers/socks and done look at anything else ,you cant wear more then a weeks worth , 6 hoodies - 2 jackets one warm one lighter and thats it , less washing only wash once a week and loads space in wardrope and all mess gone , dont look at each items , has wil think i might loss weight or i may gain weight .. no dump it all just keep a weeks worth ,dont fold anything or sort just bin bag them
You did amazing girl... And im on a boat i don't even know how to lose weight again.... i was 287 lbs then did keto was 217 lbs then covid hit and i gained it all back plus more... im at 290 now... makes me so sad😢
I literally did the same thing. Keto was amazing, and I know it healed me so much. Life happens, though, friend.
We got this ❤️
@SimplyLibbyt Thanks girly, you are so right. I need to get this weight off, but I have to find a way I can live my whole life doing ya know♡
Don’t keep clothes that don’t fit. Your body has a natural set point, yo yo eating will only end up with overall gain. I am trying to keep the words neutral conscious of triggers……I have spent so many years trying to have a body that is not my natural point. I am curvy and that is me. As we age we change, as we give life to children our bodies change, seasons change us….we should not look back, but embrace who we are naturally. Eat to live not to change our body. I stopped eating to change my body, I ate food to fuel my needs. Eating food that was NOT ultra processed, fresh fruit, NOT juices, whole foods, NOT diet foods, which are loaded with sugar. It takes years to change habits that no longer serve us. This nutrition journey is life long, not a quick fix, not denying yourself, it’s about living each day and making small changes. So ditch the clothes that bully you, taunt you, keep those clothes that embrace you and make you feel good. DONT look at size labels, they do NOT define you, numbers do not define you. You are fabulous.
Seeems like it would have been easier if he had taken the other room?
Yes, that was the plan...howeveeer I got extremely impatient and just needed my own space asap. So i took it upon myself to squeeze into the office.
@@SimplyLibbyt 🫤So then,since you really need to not go back into his room,can you bring ALL of your hanging clothes to your bed and then put all of the Wii and gaming stuff to that closet?(and if any of that belongs to you,box up and label in anticipation of your move?)
do you plan to loose the weight??? Summertime?
I’m very much a plus sized girl with small boobs if I could get a B or C bra I’d be very happy but because they were 46 chest the smallest so I can get is D cup
Check your thyroid. I found out im underactive...which causes weight gain.
Pelasses stop shouting
She does not shout at all. I guess you can turn the sound down, or maybe you are really sensitive and feel like people are shouting when they are not? Whatever the reason, she talks totally normal and fine. I really like her voice and this chatty video. 😊
