Motivation clothes

[JJ213]

Has anyone ever bought an item of clothing, a size or two, too small? As like a motivator to slim into it?

Have you ever successfully fitted into them?

Yes I have done this, not a good idea for me as I have generally gone off the item by the time it fits .

It hasn't worked for me! I'm admitting to having tried it though!

Right now I'm trying to get back in to clothes I already own. Not wasting any more money.

A thin summer jacket. Several years later I’m getting there but my arms haven’t shrunk enough! I kid you not, it is several years later!!

Fairfax and favor boots (sporting fit which didn't fit when delivered) 8 stone lighter and by the time winter boot weather arrived they were too bloody big and look like wellies 🙈 epic fail.

I wouldn’t want to spend money on clothes just in case I didn’t lose weight, but what helped me was trying on bikinis I already had and taking photos in the mirror. If I didn’t lose weight, that’s how I knew I’d look on holiday. When I did lose weight, I treated myself to smaller bikinis.

I'm thinking about fitting back into my size 8 jeans. Must try them on again

I have used clothes as a reward for loosing weight so loose half a stone and buy a nice item as a treat and that worked well. DH kept offering to buy the jumper for me and I could afford it easily but the challenge I set myself was that I couldn’t have it until I got to 10st 7lb. Thankfully it was still in the shops when this happened.

Years ago I bought clothes in the sales that I would slim into but that didn’t provide motivation. They just sat in the bottom of my wardrobe, but they weren’t dream outfits or anything special.
