How many closets do you have in your house? 😂 mine is 7...that all need to be gone through. EVERYTHING IS FINE!
9 Closets 😮😂
9 ❤
None! 🤣
😭 its so many when you put it into a number lol
❤️
You can be proud of yourself. And you're not an imposter. You're a real woman, facing real difficulties, and choosing to honestly share them. This is valuable ! And helpful !
I'am happy you gave yourself grace at the end of the video. What matters is that you make progress, and are consistent. If we can help you achieving that, it's great.
I think doing this before your therapy sessions is good for you. Decluttering brings up so many emotions, good, bad, sad, all of it, and it's good to deal with it with a professional while it's fresh. I hope your therapist sees how this is lifting a weight off of you mentally and emotionally like you show and tell us.
Another youtuber I have started watching lately is Shannon from Leaf Like on a Tree. She has a hubby and three kids, weight and health issues too, and has depression. Her two latest videos are Spring Cleaning confessions where she shares her experience with depression and how she has changed her mindset over the years while she deep cleans her house. If you check her out, I hope it helps!
You know I didnt even think about that until I was watching this back. Man did it help me come with some things to talk about in therapy 😂
Oooo I will have to check her out! I love watching people deep clean and talk!
Shannon is another favorite 😍 ❤
@@SimplyLibbyt there are so many good channels out there. The Space Maker Method and The Carla Project are two more who help declutter and organize friends, family, and strangers’ spaces.
Hi Libby! I'm much older than you (65) and have reached the "death cleaning" season of life. I've kept many of my kids things and have found that over time that some items remain important to while others don't. It's more than okay to keep those items that are special to you. Decluttering is a process and everyone's journey is unique. I subscribe to a number of decluttering channels - two of my favorites are Hoarders Heart and Peeling Away the Clutter. Thanks for sharing your journey.
It’s because you aren’t ready to be done. When you are done you have a tiny memory box or a memory blanket made out of the clothes, you can do it with things your love ones have given you. Give yourself the grace to know your body changes only keep a cupboard of clothes that you love to wear.
Something to consider is taking pictures of those items that help you remember things and making a memory book. It can be digital or physical but that way you can document the stories you don't want to forget and then remembering is intentional rather than a surprise. What I mean by that is you use the memory book when you are in the headspace to remember and not surprised by the memories and side tracked when you're trying to clean.
My darling sweetest Libby I am super proud of you ! You my girl are an inspiration 💚 you are doing a fantastic job. 2 things - remember the hardest part is actually getting the charity/donation bags out the house, goodbye gone. And secondly, keeping the goal small. Well done I didn't expect you to even take the 1st box out after doing the clothes on top but you did it 🎉 you need to clear your bedroom floor before pulling the next box out. So wish I could come hang out and give you a cuddle. You are always on my mind. Never thought I could care so much for someone I found on TH-cam. But I do and it's you. I'm not a crazy stalker 😅 not on the same continent as you 😂 just a 33 year old wife, no kids, no clutter. That person you mention packs things nicely well that's me. And guess what, I also battle with mental health and anxiety from my own traumas. And you inspire me 🪴💚
I also didnt expect to get the 1st box out 😂You are too sweet! and i definitley do not think you are a stalker at all 😅
Thank you for sharing that with me! its so easy to see people who have it "all together" but we truly do not know what others are going through!! i appreciate you!
@@SimplyLibbyt One episode of Marie Kondo's show on Netflix was a couple whose house looked pretty neat, but the problem was in the drawers. You never know what is behind those closed doors, cabinets, and drawers
❤❤ do not compare yourself to the Minimal mom, dana k. Whitw or Cass cluttering. I started following you bc of YOU!!🎉❤ You are relatable and spunky and I like YOU! I watch all 3 of those ladies and they each offer their own stuff, just like YOU!!! ❤🎉❤ BIG HUGS...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 😊 no on the red dress, i definitely think you will find something you will feel comfortable and beautiful, so let it goooooo🎉🎉🎉
You can always take good pics of his stuff and put into a photo album so it takes up less space. 😊❤
You are too kind!! I appreciate it!! I try to remind myself there is only one ME. And there are so many people I follow for their personality not necessarily their content. ❤️ i appreciate you!!! ❤️❤️❤️😊
Maybe focus on something other than you might forget. That doesn't work for you so find something that will :-) Maybe taking pictures with back-ups so you can go through them, or think about what you are missing in life right now (space to play, run etc with your kid in the house/more time bc you need to clean less and pick up less) Whatever works for you is fine, you already know you can't keep everything which is the first step! Hope this helps a little, otherwise i might have some more tips (obviously to share, you don't need to do them if it doesn't help
I have DEFINITLEY been thinking about how much stuff I have to manage right now and it is tooo overwhelming. Which takes away from time with the kiddo. These are wonderful tips so thank you so much!!
Great job today! One thing to consider long-term. How do you want to store and honor your memories/sentimental items? Something manageable, contained, and organized so you can actually enjoy them.
Thats an amazing thing to think about! Hopefully once ive gone through all of it I can see it all at once and figure out a game plan from there... hopefully! lol
I have every single piece of clothing, toy, blanket, bottles, bibs, anything of my sons at well. He is 10. I completely understand. It's hard and people don't get it.
A suggestion for you: maybe you can have one tote for sentimental kids clothes and shoes? To det a boundary for it, it doesn’t have to be one tote but you get what I mean.
You're being very thoughtful - I like that. I've given and thrown away a lot of things I regret. But in the end, we still have the memories. ❤
Awesome job beautiful!! I’m proud of you! You kicked butt today!!
Thank youu!!! ♥💃
As a person with trauma and ADHD, and has some struggles with memory issues myself, I completely relate to not wanting to let go of items. One of the best solutions I found for that is to keep a memory journal. Take a photo/cut out a piece of fabric etc and paste it in then write out what I’m feeling about it, and what I was going through in that moment. it helps a lot because then I can flip through it later to revisit those memories and one small journal takes up to far less space than many items. I know that’s hard to do in the middle of decluttering but maybe it could be something like creating a box of sentimental items to journal about as you find the time. Good luck on your journey!
Nice work on all those quick decisions and donations! Something that I see on those decluttering channels you mentioned that helps me is the saying, "if it's not a definite yes, it's a no". This is especially useful when I declutter clothes. Remember to relabel those totes so you will easily be reminded of what you're storing. :) Great video, I'm glad you gave yourself grace during this busy week.
Good job. But the red dress, donate. You can find better styles for your body & inexpensive too. U said 4 yrs u should keep 1or2 sizes down, that's it. New to ur channel. Prayers for ur journey
Thank you! The consensus is to ditch the dress lol so it will go bye bye! So over the last 4 years I have been between 190-250lbs (250 being my current heaviest). I know that once I am in a less stressful home/mental space that I will prioritize my physical health. Thats why I decided to go with the last 4 years. But honestly most of it isnt my vibe anymore so im just donating most of it.
You are doing it! Every time you make a choice to let go if it needs to be let go, you are getting stronger. With the green dress….”I don’t like dressing in something that makes me stand out, draws attention to me, it makes me nervous. This dress did that,…. so, I am keeping it……..” ?? Give it up. You will find better things in your wardrobe that do not do that.
Thank you so much for the advice! ❤️ I will keep that in mind!
I can totally relate to feeling like a dress makes me feel too present. Or noticed. It gives me anxiety. And that is something I don't like to admit.
I'm proud of you, too, (not that the opinion of strangers should ever worry you! I say that because there can be cruel people on the internets - so don't take onboard anything but your own opinion on your life!) Anyway, you powered through that and in such a short time, I think your decluttering muscles must be strengthening. I will say about comparing yourself to others and feeling like they can do it better - keep in mind that there are people out here in the world at different stages of healing or just simply decluttering and working towards a life they have a vision of - and a lot of them are not at the getting everything right stage - they are in situations which mirrors yours, or worse or suchlike - you are a motivation for them - you are an inspiration to me - so that's not being anything near an imposter - that's lending a helping hand for those that might need the hand up.
You did an awesome job! Keep it up, your doing great!!!!!🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️
My rule for myself is “if you love it or you use/need it, you can keep it! Re:sentimental items - keep a few precious things. OR take a picture of the item to preserve the memory. Also, get rid of duplicates. They are taking up precious space!
I've always told myself
That my past is my past it will never defined Who I am!
I choose to take each day & Find something positive in that day.
I hope this helps you on your journey❤
Just a suggestion, maybe instead of keeping all the sentimental things to help you remember, just take a picture of it, and let the item go to another person who can use it, and then you have less clutter.❤
Toss away the red shirt dress! It does not have a good vibe. Next… You are making great progress!! I have 4 dbl closets and 2 single ones. Everything is full and it’s just my stuff! I keep decluttering, but it’s hard like you said. I am a collector of Pyrex, vintage China and vintage Xmas figurines among other stuff.
Ooooo dont even get me started on Pyrex. That stuff is SO GOOD! lol i cant wait to show you guys my coffee mugs 😂
It is so hard. Even now I feel like I have gotten rid of SO MUCH but I walk around my house and still see SO MUCHHH. We got this though! Its a marathon not a sprint!
Great job! I hope you have a great week!😊🐦
Thank you! You as well!! ❤️
Just found you. Bing watching you all day 😊
Your doing great job ,keep it up
Thank you! ❤️
You got this 💖
Thank you!❤️
This was brilliant, really enjoyed watching, you have done a great job decluttering. I would suggest firstly separating clothes to your and kids clothes. Then separate litter category, ie all dresses , all types, all trousers etc. Then go by category. I had 27 pairs of trousers, which i realised i really don't need that many 😂😂 But was only able to declutter when i compared them all and chosen what i love the most.
With sentimental clothes, I'd say prepare like 1 or two dedicated boxes and put all sentimental kids clothes in there and keep them. But at the same get rid of other clothes you enjoy less. You really don't want the negative memories, you want the positive memories in that box.
I'm glad you escaped him, it's brave and you've done the right thing. Now get rid of every item that brings those memories back.
All my best
Even 13 years past Menopause,I would DIE in those fuzzy socks!🥵
oh nooo! that makes me so sad, i love my fuzzy socks lol
@@SimplyLibbyt I used to love flannel sheets and closed footed slippers too,but alas,”never more”.😢
You are doing great Libby. I remember some the feelings and mixed emotions that you are going through. Glad you have tools to get you through . God be with you and many blessings from above.
I would cut off the bottom of the red dress and hem it, making it a tunic to wear with leggings, or could cut it shorter and just make it into a top.
Ooooo I love these ideas!! Thank you! ♥
❤❤❤
You could wear that pinky dress with ankle boots and a denim jacket
Wait,did you just put EVERYTHING in that box? Like winter and summer clothes on top of the sentimental? When you get to the next box to declutter,I hope that you will quickly take out the summer and winter and put them in two OTHER boxes. (You’ll come up with enough sentimental items to fill that first one but then you can label it and store it,done!) Try to organize “like with like”, otherwise you’ll always be going through the same boxes,over and over.😩
i diiiiddd. I know!! My original plan was to go through both totes and then separate them out, but I just ran out of time in the day and week lol I am going through the other tote currently and will be sorting them both into winter and summer. I do need to get a tote (with a lid lol) for my kiddos stuff. I don't have one of those yet.
@@SimplyLibbyt 👍
Watch Danni Raearranged. I think you’ll enjoy her!
Danni keeps it real
I’m heavy and at this season of life I am not wearing dresses.
I completely get that! Ive found solace in shapewear and black dresses. It makes me feel good not having something hugging my waste.
Sending you love friend ❤️
In my opinion you should donate the red dress.
S called relief. Get it out!
❤🐢❤, make sure to buy only one turtle piece once in a while 😂 if you want to keep them all 🥰
The sad part is he doesn't really want turtle things anymore 😭 so i guess its a blessing in disguise lol
Do you know hoarder heart I think you will like her channel she is very sentimental getting rid of her children clothes and she deals those emotions she different from minimal mom or Dana K White because they say get rid of it where as Miss Heart deals with attachment and emotions helps you get stronger she more like therapy
U cud take a picture of them and donate them.
So sorry, how about taking pictures of things so you won't forget, instead of keeping too many things!
Yes yes and yes! I need to start doing this. I have a scrapbook that would be perfect to fill with pictures. I just have to start it, lol
Do your next video in the red dress and let us see ❤
I’m going to have to go back and see what I missed. Your husband died when your baby was 6 months old but you were in an abusive relationship? So you mean the abuser was your husband and he died? Well either way you’re doing great. I’m so proud of you too ❤
I have a video explaining all of it! It's called my domestic violence story. But in short i dated my sons father when i was 19-21 (im now 31) and he was extremely abusive. We were never married and he passed away. Thank you for your support!!❤️
