Hanging there

workingmommyof2

So this weekend I went shopping to spend a few gift cards. My wonderful hubby kept the kids at home to give me a little "me" time. I bought a pair of pants from Belk - my size and it said "classic fit" so I bought them without trying them on. Got home and tried them on and oh my gosh...they are tight. I hung them back up and was about to put them back in the bag to return for a larger size when I had a great thought....I hung them in my closet in the front so everytime I open my closet door those pants are staring at me and making me more motivated to lose the weight I need to lose. I am hoping in a month or two I will be able to put those pants on and feel great in them!

What a good motivation! I have a skirt and a shirt in my closet that I just can't make myself get rid of, now i know I'll be able to wear them someday soon!!

That's a great idea! It's a way to motivate you each day. That visual is hard to miss. It won't be too long before you are sliding right into those jeans. :-)

The real turning point for me was my last trip abroad. When I got home and saw the photos and video of me "huffing and puffing" around Italy, I couldn't believe I was actually "that fat". Now I have photos of myself from that trip on my fridge and microwave as well as my computer at work to remind myself daily that I no longer want to be that large. :-)

Whatever it takes, that's my motto!! :-)

My whole closet is my motivation and it's a good one since I can't afford to buy more clothes right now hahah!! Keep up the awesome work and I'm sure you'll fit into the jeans in no time! You got this hehe!!!

I had some jeans passed down to me that I can get intooo...but I sure don't want anyone to see me in them. Denim encased sausage. So they're my goal pants. They hang on my closet door.

They'll fit in now time and then you'll need new ones again.

BTW nice job out of your loving man! I love the me time.

I have a white snow jacket in my closet that I would like to put without looking like the Michelin Man or breaking the zipper:bigsmile:

That is great! I do the same thing but with my old 'smaller' jeans, I try not to shop too often since I hate admitting that I am the size I am now :grumble:

I see that you are in the bham area - I am too! If you ever need some support feel free to hit me up.

Best of luck - Emily
