Clutter and weight

Being married to an architect, our house is always in a state of remodel.  Due to this, there are times when the house isn't as organized as I would wish.  It drives me nuts but over the years I have learned to ignore it in a way.  Recently, I've decided that I just can't take it any more.

For my birthday, I asked my husband to help me create some organizational spaces in this house so I can get things neat and tidy.  We've been working on this all weekend.  We re-did a huge closet down stairs. Now that it is completed, I can now spend this week getting things organized.

Why I am writing about this in this blog? Because there seems to be a direct relationship between household clutter and weight.  At the end of this post I will give some links to articles on this issue.  There is even a book on the topic.  I am not certain that getting rid of clutter in this house will ensure that more weight will come off for me.  But, I can guarantee that I will be a much nicer wife if things are better organized.  This might be a place that you want to evaluate in your own life.  Good luck!
