    I'm doing it now -- I bought two pairs of jeans a few weeks ago in the next two sizes down so I can work toward fitting in them. :smile:

    I have a few things that I bought to small, that I really want to wear. They keep me honest when I walk to the kitchen :)

    I have a dress hanging on the inside of my bedroom door that I know I can't fit into yet.

    I keep my bondage jeans hanging in the very front of my closet to mock me :)

    So, I live in Canada but my family is in the States. Last time I was down there I tried on a swimsuit in the size I was at the time (In April, sz 16). I really liked it and wanted it for my vacation that's coming up in a few weeks, but had the confidence that I'd be losing lots of weight in the meantime ... so a couple weeks ago I went online and saw that some sizes were selling out, so I ordered it and had it shipped to my sister (won't ship international). I had intended to buy it in my current size (14) and a size smaller (12), however afterward I realized I'd actually ordered a 12 and a 10!!! This is definitely my motivation right now to make sure at least one of them will fit by the time I go down (June 24)!

    If you see something you really like, I'd say buy it in your target size and work to fit it, girl! Definitely a good motivation AND reward. :)

    Go for it! I did that once and it really worked. It feels so good when you are finally able to put it on.

    If it's a reasonable goal then do it. I had my size 8 jeans hanging on the wall in my bedroom for all of the almost 6 months it took me to get back in them. I think it really helped to see them each morning.
