This week's mail bag comes to us from Lori via email.

65 hangers. I had asked a friend to come over and help me do a closet cleanse.

I've lost 70 pounds in six months and I knew I would be getting rid of a lot.

She kept me moving. We also had a great chance to catch up and ended up having a

spontaneous dinner of pukchops that I had cooked frozen, a salad, and green beans.

It was already in the space of 10 minutes.

I had lots of counter space, so prepping the veggies for the salad was no problem.

The dining room table was mostly clear so we had a

comfortable place to sit. My bedroom was also very clean so we could focus on

purging rather than clearing a space to sit. I did not take a before and after, but I did take a photo of some of the

hangars. I counted the hangars after she left. There were 65 hangers on my bed. She had already said we should do it again in three months because

I'll be at a whole new weight. I still have enough stuff that fits so I really don't need

to go out and spend money on new clothes at this size. It felt great to welcome a friend in and

be freely able to throw together a quick dinner in a very clean kitchen with lots of space.

My fridge was also very clean so when she reached

for something it was easy to find. It was great to sit and relax and just talk. It was a

very good day. Lisa, it was because of the work I have been doing with the 100 day home organization program

that I felt comfortable hosting a friend in this way.

It was a nice experience and I just wanted to share that with you.
