Motivational clothing

Do you buy things in a size (or two() smaller in the hopes that you will fit into it someday?

I have in the past and finally had a NSV this weekend as I pulled the jeans out of the closet that I bought a while back 2 sizes smaller than what I was wearing and they finally fit, and I actually had to wear a belt with them!!

I was never more excited to wear "old clothes" in my life!!!

What victories did you have this weekend?

    I had been going over my calories last week and feeling really bloated and gross. Did my weigh in this Saturday, and lost 1.4lbs! I couldn't believe it! Guess the bloating didn't affect me any! LOL

    I have been thinking of buying some small clothing and waiting for them to fit. . Keep seeing cute things on sale. Congrats to you on your loss!

    I didn't do that....but I definitely got rid of the 'big' clothes. Never want to fit into them again!

    YES, I have done this rarely. I am really close to fitting into a pair of awesome Gap jeans that were super on sale a few months ago. It feels AWESOME!

    Also...I am SO close to buying a dress from express that I would fit into in a few months. I keep telling myself though that I should wait and get something that's brand new and in-style at the time I fit into it.. but then again having it in my closet would be such a great motivator :) Hmm maybe I'll get it! It's sooooo cute and I refuse to buy it in my current size.

    I do that...quite a bit actually!!

    There is a Community Aid store nearby..think Goodwill type. They have amazing things for $3-4. So, I go there and find jeans in the next size down so I have them waiting for me when I get there.

    So fun!

    also, I have a pinterest board just for little black dresses that I see online and plan to buy in a few months!
