I bought a dress in a too-small size for a party in August. Am I mad?

[Reiltin]

I'd have bought it in the shop in my proper size but they didn't have it & it is sold out online. But I can't stop thinking about it. Also, I lost some weight recently and have managed to keep it off, but I'm slipping into old bad habits and I really don't want it.
So I did the thing I always thought people are ridiculous to do - i bought a smaller size & I plan / hope to lose 2-3lbs per week before the party. Which is very doable. Except that I'm crap!
I'm hoping the dress will provide some motivation. Which I'm sorely lacking. I know exactly what I need to do - I'm just too lazy to do it!
So wish me luck
(I can always return the dress in a few weeks if it's not working. She says, giving herself an out, as usual )

2-3lbs a week every week until August is not just one dress size, it's about 3! I know because I also have a target for the end of August and 2 to 3 lbs a week is about three stone! It's also not really that sustainable unless you very strictly low carb.

The dress thing is the kind of stupid thing I'd do (hence why I have about four wardrobes full of stuff that I've barely or never worn and don't fit me ) but if you are genuinely talking one dress size only then it shouldn't be too hard between now and August, if you are determined.

The thing is I'm about 16.5stone so a dress size is a couple of stone, give or take. We'll see how it goes!
