Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?

A man or woman's home is their castle.  He is the king and she is the queen of the humble abode, each ruling over various aspects of how it's run.  In the Northern United States, folks have numerous closets, an attic, a basement, usually a garage, and sometimes even a shed or small barn.  In other areas of the country, take Florida for example, homes have less storage space.  The attic is too hot for storage, and basements, because of the proximity to sea level, are non-existent.  There simply is no place to save Grandma's old wringer-washer or Aunt Jane's 30-year-old baby clothes. For those with little extra space, organization is a must!

The star of TLC's hit show Clean Sweep, Peter Walsh, author of the BestSeller It's All Too Much will soon offer the public Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?  An Easy Plan For Losing Weight and Living More.  A FirstLook into the book sheds light and thought into weight control and our inability to lose it.  Peter Walsh himself states, "Diets don't work!...The easiest thing to be in America is fat.  It's easier than working, easier than raising a family, easier than making money, and definitely easier than getting up and switching off the TV.  Being fat has become the national pastime."51XqmGaepZL__AA240_.jpg

By advocating less clutter, we can live richer, fuller, more healthful lives with less stuff. Credit card debt can be lowered by resisting tempting purchases, leaving excess dollars for necessities.  Reducing the stress of owing will lower your cortisol levels, helping to drop the weight.  We are not what we own.

Peter Walsh asks us to clean sweep our homes.  Then move on to the kitchen, defining our vision of what it should be through purging and deep cleaning it. (When was the last time you checked the cupboard above the fridge?  Do you even know what's in there anymore?)  First, set aside a few minutes to define your week of meals and snacks by writing them down. Next, rid your kitchen of all foods that are not on the eating plan.  For many of us, if it's not in the house, we won't eat it.  If you can't ask this of your family or roommate, Peter Walsh recommends setting aside a space in the fridge for their items.  Purging includes "Yesterday Foods," or high-calorie, nutritionally empty foods from the freezer or cupboards: cookies, chips, sweets, white carbs, etc..

I do know what is above my refrigerator. On purpose we installed a tray and sheet pan cabinet with slots so we know that kitchen ware is there and not junk. Sometimes it's easier to reach than bend down to get things. The trays and pans don't break either if one does drop them. I wish the rest of my kitchen were that organized! A book I might try. Thank you. from Betty
