Tip for motivation using your old clothes......

I know it is tempting to get rid of the clothes that no longer fit because you have busted your butt and shrunk right out of them, but I suggest keeping some of them around and very handy to get to.

You have those rough days where you just feel like you are stuck or not losing fast enough or you feel like you just don't have it in you to do this life changing journey even one more day! Go get those jeans, that shirt, dress, skirt or shorts that you have put aside in your "too big" pile and put them on! Take a really good look at yourself in the mirror and see how far you have come!! This is a real motivator and a great reminder that all the hard work we put into ourselves is completely worth it!!

We can't always go by the scale. Sometimes we need more of a visual than just a number!

Go out there and kick some butt today!!

    Love this, and think it's a great idea. I'm thinking of taking one of those pics, with me in my old pants, holding out the waist....as a reminder/visual for myself.

    I do this too. Just yesterday I pulled on a pair of my old pants then let go and watched them hit the floor. I love it when that happens!

    This is a great idea! I always used my "skinny clothes" as a motivator but sometimes it has the opposite effect and makes this task feel overwhelming.

    I am definately going to do that when I reach my final goal!! That will be a picture to look back at if I start to slip.
