"Reverse Infomercial" -- Going from a Size 2 to a Size 8 in Just 4 Weeks

It turns out that working from my "home office" also means working a little too close to the "home kitchen". My blackberry has been replaced by the TV and the infomercials on how to go from a size 8 to a size 2 in just 4 weeks air over and over again. Since I am unemployed, home and bored, I have accomplished the exact opposite – I have gone from a size 2 to a size 8 in just 4 weeks. I have gone from granola to brownies, oatmeal to Oreos and cashews to chocolate chip ice cream. How'd I get here? It was a three step process:

Step 1: Lose your job
Step 2: Find out your boyfriend of 2 years has cheated
Step 3: Eat all the comfort food you can get your hands on

But I've decided to add a step and put a positive spin on the situation:

Step 4: Clean out my closet for the spring season, and donate clothes to the POSH Sale before attending the sale next month to buy new clothes that fit!

You, too, can make needed room in your closet by donating your new, never worn, (see the photo of my bolero jacket – what was I thinking? I was NEVER going to fit into that!) or gently worn designer brand clothing and accessories.

Donations are accepted year round, but remember the POSH Sale is only once a year! So buy your tickets soon!

And don't forget, you can still donate your new and gently worn duds to POSH, too. It's starting to get warmer outside, a little spring cleaning might be just what you were looking for! (POSH donation guidelines) Check out some of the stuff I donated:

I really loved this outfit; absolutely perfect for spring. But at a size 2, that skirt isn't gonna fit any time soon! Ditto for the outfit below. By the way, all the pieces in these two outfits are going to be sold for $30 or less at the POSH Sale. Let me tell you, that is NOT what I paid for them when I bought them :)

I bought this size 8 blue satin evening outfit without a real event to wear it to. It's now turned into one of those dresses you have in the back of your closet that you completely forget about and never end up wearing but is still perfect for someone else. And even though I've never worn it, you can still get it at POSH for $40!
