Should I Keep Clothes That Don’t Fit?

Should I Keep Clothes That Don’t Fit?

“I have a number of clothing items that don’t fit in boxes on the top of my cupboard. My weight fluctuates so frequently (and I have a newborn) that it seems irresponsible to get rid of things that don’t fit, yet I hate having clutter! Should I keep clothes that don’t currently fit? When do I just let it go?”

 

Keeping clothes that don’t fit prevents you from accepting your body as it is today. Still, we all do it, as our “skinny” clothes encourage us to hold onto past glories of thinness and youth.

On this short and sweet episode I’m answering a listener’s question about best practices for regarding and storing clothing items that don’t fit our bodies right now.

Here’s a preview:

[5:00] Challenging 3 commonly held beliefs about size and worth

[7:00] The real problems with keeping clothes that don’t fit in your closet

[11:40] Considering a future reality (not a future fantasy)

[15:00] 3 steps to storing clothes that don’t currently fit

Nature As Medicine

Are we treating the symptoms of modern life while simultaneously ignoring our habitat?

The average American now spends 93% of their life indoors. But humans evolved for millennia alongside the natural world, and research suggests that our indoor lifestyle is disrupting our sleep, focus and long-term health.

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive workout gear to get your health back on track. On today’s show, Dr. John La Puma argues that all you need is a 17-minute dose of nature, every single day.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] Modern medicine tends to prioritize intervention over prevention. But why?

[7:30] We’re taught to fear the outdoors, but indoor living can be directly harmful in ways we’re only beginning to understand

[11:30] Why it’s time to view “screen time” as “ultra-processed time”

[16:00] Exactly how a daily dose of morning sunlight resets insulin sensitivity, hunger timing, and prefrontal cortex function

[30:00] Outside exercise is better for you than inside exercise, so take your movement outdoors!
