I purged my closets & my thinking

I have been on a tear lately about getting things organized, getting rid of clutter & just getting my house in order. This weekend I purged my closest. It was cathartic, I went through & just filled a big garbage bag with things to sell at my garage sale in the spring.
About 10 years ago I lost 70 lbs, I have since gained back 30 & have been hanging on to my " skinny" clothes hoping to get back into them. This weekend was one of self acceptance, I realized I am judging & being hard on myself because I gained 30 lbs, saying I'm not good enough because I can't zip up the shorts that I used to love. Saturday they went in the trash bag for the garage sale. This is my size now maybe I will lose the weight maybe I won't but I'm tired of feeling not good enough because of the tag inside my jeans. I see the dimples in my thighs & the jiggles that were not there 30 lbs ago but honestly just like the color of my hair how does that make me less than?
My husband thinks I'm beautiful at least that's what he says & the dog loves me no matter what. Plus my son thinks I'm pretty awesome wanting to take me to concerts & stuff instead of his girlfriend (Hmmmm) . So in the trash bag they went along with my self doubt & the little voice saying you are not good enough I'm still the same girl with just a little more jiggle when I wiggle.

Demi Lovato: Confident

So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you had me underrated
What's wrong with being, What's wrong with being confident?
