MAJOR Closet DECLUTTER | Overcoming Body Dysmorphia and a Breakup

[@AmyRaeVee]

I'm not even done watching and can relate. Menopause has changed my body shape to something akin to days after giving birth.

[@rhondalockrey9592]

You got rid of half your clothes awesome job!!! Its not easy decluttering I have been downsizing my home for well over a year but it feels so good to get rid of stuff you know you don't want & I wake up the next day thinking I have done a lot of work that I won't have to do again lol

[@SimplyLibbyt]

I really did! That didn't dawn on me 😂 it's such an amazing feelinggg!!

[@evangeliawalker6766]

Wow! I'm impressed with how easily you made the decisions on keep and donate. It definitely gets easier to remove items the longer you declutter for. Keep the books in a tote so they don't get damaged. You may decide to go back to being a physiotherapists assistant in the near future.❤🎉

[@kristinestocker]

Great "spooky" opening. I thought it was funny too -- cute idea.

[@SimplyLibbyt]

Thank you for appreciating my funny side 😂😂

[@Loeviis]

The rich people problems robe looks so great on you!

[@dionnemcneil4992]

Breaking up with someone is never easy. But you have to make changes for you and your mental health & happiness for & your son . Sorry you are going through that. ❤

[@tijenhoca6371]

Hi Libbie, I have been to where you are many times. I m almost 60 and I assure you you will be allright. Things will be fine and you ll be surprised to see how strong you are. Love and hugs.

[@BLUEGREEN65]

I moved from Maryland to Arizona 20 some years ago. When I moved, I was a size 10….now I’m a size 18 😮. Lots of emotional stuff…I am on depression and anxiety meds and feel so much better. So I’m trying to lose weight, but the older I get (59) the slower it comes off. As I got bigger, I used to have pants in every size 10, 12, 14, 16, 18… in hopes I would get back down to a 10. Being realistic, I doubt I will ever get back down to a 10. So, I donated all the pants from size 10-14. Now I’m hoping to get down to a 16. That would make me happy! Then if by chance I get back to a 14, I will treat myself to some new pants. You are doing great Libby! You got rid of lots of stuff. Always a great feeling!!! I’ve been decluttering my whole apartment (450 sq ft)over the past few months. Just have a little more to do. It’s very freeing.😊 Keep up the great work!

[@look_ma_no_hands]

I feel you about that weight struggle. About 2 years ago my weight went from creeping up to "I've gained how much?!" So I made a decision to change my habits. I started out slow with 30 minutes of dedicated movement a day. I've since added more time to my daily habit and also a weightlifting routine. my weight is trending down and my energy and mental health are on the upswing. you can do it! start by finding the movement that works for you.

[@BLUEGREEN65]

@@look_ma_no_hands That’s great progress!!! Thank you for the motivation!

[@TheGreatLarryPotter]

Girl, take that entire backpack, with all the books and everything in it, and just THROW IT AWAY. It’s OK, I promise!! Textbooks get revised every year or two, so they’re probably outdated. You have enough on your plate . It’s OK just to let it go, without “rehoming” it to the perfect person. 💕

[@RaeC5280]

I love when you talks to another you in your videos 😂 great job❤

[@SimplyLibbyt]

😂 thank you! It's literally my inner dialogue coming to life 😂

[@RadCenter]

Two suggestions: (1) Sort the hangers by color and try to go with only one or two colors for your clothes. Your son might use another color. It really helps make the closet look less cluttered. (2) Hang the pants on hangers and use the top shelf for off-season clothing in bins. I think you have enough room to hang all of your in-season clothing.

[@josephdaly2015]

You are doing amazing Libby. You’ve come a long way too since moving into your new place. Cas from Clutterbug also says to stop keeping clothes that bully you whether they are too big or too small. Yes your decluttering muscles are getting stronger 💪 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏👍💪🙏💐

[@Sunbarb]

❤ keep going Libby, u r making a great life

[@SimplyLibbyt]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@booknerdcatlady]

You probably already gotten rid of them but just in case it helps… I’m a librarian and work in academia, if the books are older than 5 years, they probably are out of date (especially medical books). Donate to a place near a school if you want to give them a chance. Recycle if you just want to get rid of them 😊.

[@Jamie-vw8bj]

LoL...i recently put all of my random bags of rocks together into a box AND spent hours looking them up to label them. Turns out i have some pretty cool rocks😁😁😁

[@willowgirl2635]

We donated all my husbands Nursing books and manuals to the Thrift shop. Great declutter.

[@susanmiller8261]

You remind me so much of myself 30 years ago. You rock girlfriend!

[@paigemarcantel3943]

Girl.... I cried yesterday when our old fridge went out and we had to get a new one. Seeing the old one leave that we have had for 20 years made me so sad. It represented memories for the past 20 years. And, that's the silliest thing, in the world, given what you're going through. ❤️

[@Jillwithnojack7]

Libby I'm so proud of you! Watching your decluttering videos over the course of months. I have watched you grow so much. Decluttering is so easy for you now, compared to the beginning. Your closet looks great! 😊 I was overwhelmed at first too. It takes time, but it does get easier.

[@801LOVER]

Oh my gosh. I thought I would forever wear a cami with all clothes FOREVER.

[@fancytapes5851]

It feels so good when it's done. Well done. No procrastinating happened at all.

[@nolasavedmysoul]

Omg I have so many camis and I wear them everyday still. I had no idea they were not really a thing anymore lol. Shows how old I’m gettting.

[@dazzleree]

Thank you for sharing your journey with such honesty and strength. 💛 Your closet declutter is so inspiring, and it's amazing to see how healing the process can be. Wishing you all the best on this new chapter!

[@tamerasyniec6621]

You put a smile on my face. 😊

[@omgyouguys]

Omaha here! You did AWESOME!

[@jenniferg9641]

I love closet declutters!! I got rid of a lot this year. Ok back to watching now! 🤗♥️

[@SimplyLibbyt]

That's awesommme!!! 💃

[@jenniferg9641]

@@SimplyLibbytI’m about ten years older than you and I still do the layering! Maybe not as bad as I use to. I use to have a lot of the lace trim ones but those just get holes in them too easily. 😂

[@MessyTessie]

Great job decluttering so much!! I feel inspired to get back to tackling my own clutter, let's goooo💪🙌

[@karenburgess3560]

So sorry for your pain. I am hoping it will get less and less.

[@mary-janejenkins9560]

I have a whole flower bed full of rocks either with holes through them I was taught as a child they were lucky stones and then every time I go on holiday or any of my children or friends go on holiday they bring me back rocks sand and lava I love it ❤❤

[@ltaj7336]

Loved the intro!!!❤ You were amazing on that closet. I paused in the middle because you inspired me to look at mine. Got rid of 1 bag. Still have more to go thru. I guess I'm still building my declutter muscles. Came back to finish your video. Thank you for inspiring me!😊

[@flippinforchange]

I had to laugh when you pulled out all those cami tank tops - I wear them all winter as a base layer so I also have EVERY color imaginable. I picked up a pocket shoe organizer that hangs over the closet door and I put them in that so they're not taking up valuable space on hangers. I can shove 3 or 4 in each pocket .. arranged in rainbow order of course (ocd) .. thought I'd share the idea in case you need to free up space. The pocket shoe organizer is also good to have in the bathroom to hold things like extra toothpaste, shampoo, hair supplies, washcloths etc; in the utility closet for things like rags, gloves, batteries, flashlights etc; and in the kitchen pantry for sponges, extra dish soap, seasoning envelopes, vitamins, measuring cups and spoons etc. They're not the most attractive things but very useful!

[@johnborrelli6967]

Libby they do sell collapsible hangers u can put like 5 pieces of clothing on it they are great for small space I bought several.

[@lalicurates]

If you try to sell the books, give yourself a time limit. If they don't sell by the time you move, or 2 months, or whatever, then donate them or offer them up in a buy nothing group. I'm a fan of selling books on the Pango app, I think they do a lot more fiction than reference books, but listing and shipping items is pretty easy. Or if there is Half-price books in your area, they partner with a lot of wholesale and book recycling, so they might not offer the best price but they'll likely take all of them.

[@marilyndietzman-vx5ts]

Good job - well done hurrah.

[@sherinitta1903]

I just decluttered one of my bonus rooms. I took out 6 bags of give away. 4 bags of trash and only kept maybe a bag full of stuff. I also found all my special items from my late sister in law. I thought they accidentally got thrown away.

[@BLUEGREEN65]

Great job!!! 😊

[@SimplyLibbyt]

That's AWESOME!! look at you go and I'm so happy you found those ❤️

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Great job! I decluttered 6 bags of sentimental stuff this week. Still more to do but it's progress.

[@AndreaSooHill429]

😂😅😂 Libby Lou, I just love love love you and all your acting skills and skits!!! I love it so much! We need more and more every week. This 1x a week B.S. is not enough for this addict of yours🎉❤🎉

[@Armymom07-wl8tp]

Yessss! We would love more 🥰

[@joycook1191]

I pitched some outdated, books, I love books fiction, cookbooks, etc. I donated some to library. Kept only my absolute favorites. Your doing a fantastic job

Love your humor!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SimplyLibbyt]

😂 thank you 👻

[@sammylapue]

A triangle hanger to organize your hangers is a great item. Or a triangle bag to keep the hangers organized helps a lot. When I take a item off a hanger it automatically goes in the hanger organizer or I put it to the left (front/back) or right of my clothes. Then I can find hangers when I want or need them.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Great job! I am really impressed with how much you got rid of! Downsizing is so hard. When I moved out of state with my family of 5 we downsized from a single family home to a townhouse. I know how hard it can be. Goodwill accepts donations of textbooks. I kept 2 of my textbooks from college just to remember how hard I worked. Have a great week! Hugs. 😊🧡🐦

[@55rodeo]

Awesome Job!!! I so need to look at my clothes they way you did. I have a lot of the “O I might wear that someday” 2 years and I still haven’t wore it. I hate having to have my everyday clothes and my dragon time clothes 😢. It’s like two separate wardrobes. Lol!!

Look at you go! Great job! My Maternal Grandmother used to say if it's hard to do it's the right decision.❤❤❤❤❤

[@pamelafreeman4548]

Oh, Libby, that was a cute video. My closet used to be very scary, too. I have so many fewer clothes to put on hangers and drawers. It makes your spirit feel lighter.❤❤

Hi Libby, about the books, you can put them on Marketplace for anyone who needs them. If no one contacts you, then you can donate them to the Public Library or thrift store.

[@crystalmcmahon302]

You did awesome job I know I just did that a few weeks ago and it always makes you feel good I had like four big bags it was summer and winter.oh I had some shorts and tops brand new thinking I would be able to wear them nope . Thank you for sharing have a good day ❤

Thank you so much!!❤️

[@stacysmith1138]

I would donate the books. Students will be so grateful to get them for free or next to nothing. I need to do the same thing with my old textbooks.

[@amandabkayb]

My sister's PTA textbooks were not able to be sold. Check on used textbook sites, but my guess is that they just need to get donated or recycled.

[@eileenryan4687]

Yay libby

[@TammieMcGuire]

you can either sell the books or give them to someone that needs them.

I know 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@katrinalongley]

I have some old text books too. I don't know what to do with them because they get outdated so quickly.

[@DANALLDE]

Same, get rid of them. It’s mostly outdated information and when you are taking classes, there are specific text books that the class requires so I don’t think anyone will buy them.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Goodwill accepts textbooks.

[@pumpkin4ful]

Are you gonna sell them or give them away? Are they for nursing school? My daughter just started nursing school. Please let me know!

[@801LOVER]

Now that you have decluttered. I am curious. Is there anything that you have missed since donating?

[@roxannesykes415]

As for excess.hangers . Take zipties bundle them in 10s at time give em away kp just one bundle for you

says posted 6 hrs ago but is this not older footage ? i love watching but love it better when your showing your progress in your new space . i feel that is what you need to work on because you still have alot to get done and it wouldn't take long at all , if you just applied yourself more frequently . just some words for thought not trying to sound mean at all.

[@dianelopes8199]

i would get get of the books there heavy humpy and a pain to store , you tryiung to leave past not drag everything from it with you time to declutter your heart as well has the wardrobe ,
