Motivator clothes

[W9956]

Does buying smaller clothes, when trying to lose weight, motivate you?

Or does it make you feel even unhappier that they don't fit?

It motivates me, for sure. However, I only buy one item, usually on Vinted - that I really REALLY want and only 1 size down. I'm now 3 sizes down from where I started (I was obese so long way to go) so it's working. I also sell all clothes I 'shrink' from so that I wouldn't be tempted to let go because 'I can still fit those fat pants'.

Sounds good @Boska23 I've been meaning to buy something smaller, too.

I threw out all my maternity clothes when I got home from hospital.
None of my clothes fitted but I refused to buy clothes in a bigger size so squeezed into my clothes even if my jeans wouldn't do up.
Yes it definitely motivated me to lose weight so they were more comfortable.
I just wouldn't admit defeat and buy bigger/baggier clothes as I knew I'd delay getting back into my pre-pregnancy ones which now fit again.

@havingmetime well done you. I guess it works for some and not for others.

I read about it online.
