Clutter Part 3

An "expert" on clutter, who hires out to people to clean out their living spaces and who has written books about it, says his clients have told him that when they have begun and made headway in the process of decluttering their living spaces, they have found, to their amazement, that their physical body weight has dropped, often considerably, seemingly as a side effect.

This does not surprise me at all. Our belongings, same as our weight, and our inability to shed them, often can be protections against real threats or current losses or old fears.
