Yes, W2 (as it's known among my friends) is a diet... and also a support group.
Full disclosure: am a lifetime member and rarely at my W2 target weight. But W2 keeps me eating relatively responsibly, for Le Duc is a magnificent cook. I'm turning one of those big zero's in July and I will use it to lose ten- no one will really see but I'll feel better.

Thanks for sharing Manolo's post. Nice!

Love your notion of junk food clothing and accessories. I think I have a pretty "whole foods" approach to wardrobe now. But it took a long time to clean up my diet, uh, I mean wardrobe ;-)

And, I totally agree on the chocolate. I just found a new bar that I am in love with. Have you tried the Lindt extreme dark chocolate with orange? Love this stuff. Need to limit consumption or I could end up at Weight Watchers.

I did closets last year. Oddly enough I got them all done! Now I'm onto drawers this year. I can't believe how much stuff I stashed in drawers - some of which I haven't seen in at least 3 years or more.

I am an "out of sight out of mind" type person and drawers are the perfect "out of sight" place for me.

I have also been contemplating taking classes to become a time management/professional organizer. It might suit me... then again it might not. But this seems to be a trend lately and it looks very interesting.

I'm with you on not getting trapped with resolutions at this time of year. There'd be no time to put them into action anyway, given that I start teaching new classes next week. September always has the new year feeling for me, although then, too, I'm time-deprived thanks to new classes. I've got most time to do catch-up and clean-up and get organized and take on new projects in the summertime, oddly enough. Your wardrobe project sounds very worthwhile, and I'm absolutely envious of laviequotidienne's dressmaker as well.

Oh, how wonderful! Can you please send your dressm...

Oh, how wonderful! Can you please send your dressmaker to LA once you're done??? ;-) I could certainly use that kind of objective help.

Dejapseu: Very good list, particularly alternative uses of the walking stick :-)

I am doing a wardrobe feng shui as well. With the help of a wonderful dress-maker who will come home with her van and mobile haberdashery; she will sort through clothes and identify and jointly agree changes and then make alterations for a whole day. Once I know what can be changed has been changed, I shall get rid of the rest make a firm list of shopping and fill the gaps.

And the whole of Paris is now defence de fumer! No more the smell of lingering tobacco fumes on clothes. Enjoy your trip and best wishes for the surgery.
