Does anyone else have skinny clothes in their closet for the day that they hit their goal weight. I stopped buying clothes on purpose cause I would fit in them soon, but I realized that I do have enough clothes from when I was a lower weight in the past to start a new wardrobe when I do hit my goal weight. So, question to my MFP people...Do you buy clothes to motivate you to lose weight and have you bought a skinny outfit for the day you finally hit the magic size?

    I don't, but not because I don't think they're good motivators. I personally have a lot of emotional abuse in my past and have a terrible habit of putting myself down whenever I have what I see as a good opportunity. Skinny clothes would be that type of opportunity for me, and I don't want to do that. Instead, I got rid of everything that was too big, so I only own what fits right now, and I'll keep doing that until I'm to my goal.

    i have a shirt or two in my skinny clothes, since i haven't been under 150 since middle school, i really don't have much on the skinny clothes line.

    I have this beautiful off-white dress, it has a crochet overlay. It's a size ten, I bought it at a yard sale for $5. Someday. . .

    I have some old clothes that if I loose weight I'll be able to fit back into. But I'm also a little bit of a shopaholic so when I do shop I buy them in my goal size for motivation. I'm also basically too fat for most of my clothes so now all of them are my "skinny clothes" lol

    I bought one back in 2009, and even though I really liked it, it didn't motivate me much. It just sat in my closet, collecting dust! I found my motivation elsewhere later on.

    I have my old clothes to fit into but I don't buy skinny clothes. I try to keep a positive attitude with where I'm at right now so I'll buy things that make me feel and look good now, and which I can get altered if needed when I loose weight (skirts, certain dress cuts, et).

    I went through a period where I refused to buy new clothes until I fit into my old clothes... well the weight loss took longer than expected and next thing I knew I ran out of cute clothes to wear for work and kept wearing the same ones over and over and became utterly depressed! Now I buy clothes for my "Now Body" :0)

    I have a plethora of clothes from my last weight loss journey. Also, I buy clothes as motivation for my next size, it's a huge motivator for me. I never buy them full price though, I'll browse clearance racks and if I see something I love just a bit smaller than where I'm at, I grab it.
