I bought this cute skirt to wear for christmas. I thought it would be a little big but I liked it that much. it was way cute, black linen with embrodered flowers. I bought it at a second hand shop for 2$. got it home , went to try it on and I couldnt get it past my thighs!.
i was shocked, it didnt fit. then i bought a scale and was SHOCKED to see i had gained so much in such a short time.
this skirt prompted my getting serious about my eating habits. My goal to wear it for easter dinner. then it would remind me of how hard i worked so i wouldnt eat all the things I shouldnt. that and it was really cute.
i did it!:heart: i wore it on easter. it felt so good to hit that little mini goal. i really feel proud of me! YAY

    Congrats on taking control back! I'm glad you got to wear your skirt:flowerforyou: I use clothes as my scale. I still weigh sometimes but if pants I own are getting tighter I know to start watching closer.

    upload the picture to someplace like photobucket.com

    They will give you several codes, one of them has codes that say {IMG} around them (only with straight brackets. That's the one you want to post here, but you need to change the letters from CAPS to lowercase for some reason, or it won't post. So it will look like:

    {img}www.whatever.jpg{/img} when you type it here.

    Can't wait to see the pic! :smile:

    Oh, that is cute!! I can see why you were motivated to wear it!

    Now that it fits, I guess you get to go buy something else to keep you motivated, lol!!
