During the original interview, Josie mentioned that she still kept a piece of clothing from the past. It was a pair of jeans from the time when she was her highest weight of 325LBS. She said, “It’s to remind me of how big I used to be.” Pretty innocent, right? She also mentioned that she still had a memory of her being fat and even now she would often catch herself going first to a department that sells large clothes sizes, even though she didn’t need them anymore. Also, pretty innocent, right? 

Do you have something that you are keeping as a keepsake, even if it was some challenge in your life that you had to overcome, but you are keeping this item for a “reminder”? Well, it’s not really that innocent. It’s not a reminder.
