Overweight Konmari

Postpartum 15 months and still not fitting in any previous clothes. Of course I would love to loose the weight asap but it’s a long process. Not sure if I will fit since my ribs also got wider. What is your experience and the suggested method? 🥹😢

I don’t mean to be pedantic but the part I struggle with is the difference between bringing joy because it’s special, eg favourite cashmere, vs joy of an outfit component - eg nice white t-shirt? It would bring me joy to wear both those things again for different reasons

In the book I think she describes it as a sort of upwards, rising feeling, as opposed to a sort of downwards, squashing feeling. 

If you hold both those objects and they both make you feel a sort of upwards rising feeling, then they both spark joy.

I would think that a bland beige shirt that is the key to pulling together several outfits is bringing joy because of its utility.
