Buying Smaller Clothes in the Hope of Losing Weight

[friedafilmer]

Or rather, I ordered tops I really like but will fit me when I lose 8kg maybe. Now they fit me like a glove.

Do I keep or return? What will you do?

I've Done the same - bought some gorgeous jeans in a smaller size to help me focus on loosing weight.

Do you have a plan to lose the 8kg and is it realistic? I'd send them back if not.

i wouldn't
you don't know that the items will hang right even if you can fit into them

Hard experience in past has taught me never to do this.

I have three pairs of jeans in a size smaller waiting for me to finally lose weight. I bought them in the sale because Next changed the fabric/style and I can't get any in my size.

This has worked for me but only with a specific item for a specific event, so that I had a goal and a time limit. Other stuff just languished unloved in the wardrobe.

Leviticus - yup, that's the 8kg I gained over the last six months.

But this got me thinking...
