in Chit-Chat
and ordered it in adult small. I usually wear a large, and I bought it with the intention of keeping it as motivation. It's a shirt i've wanted for quite a while but always thought "I'll buy it when i lose weight, it won't look as good if I buy it now."

I'm buying it and hanging it up on the back of my door. Ugh, I can not wait to lose weight for so many reasons but buying clothes and not worrying about how good they will look and/or how they're going to fit is just such an exciting idea.

How do you reward yourself when you lose weight?

    I love it!

    I have a closet full of old clothes that I used to fit into. Every time I lose a little bit of weight I go try on an old piece of clothing to see how close I am to fitting back into it. I estimate about how many pounds and give myself a goal. For example, if I lose 20 more pounds I can fit back into my favorite t-shirts and stop wearing my boyfriends t-shirts. I know he will be so glad to have his shirts back. LOL!

    My reward for losing weight is buying cute clothes and loving how I look in them. I rarely go shopping now because I hate how everything looks on me. But I have lost weight before and I know how good it feels. I think for me, losing weight in general is a reward. It boosts my confidence and my mood so much! Plus stepping on the scale and seeing more pounds lost is a reward in itself.

    I don't reward other than having a regular meal I miss, but I do have a shirt like that! I liked it a lot but nope, not my size, so I said I'll wear ti one day :)

    i recently bought a pair of levi's in a smaller size. levi's have always been out of my budget, but these were on the clearance rack, plus they were an additional 75% off. who can beat a great deal, right? so i thought i'd get these as a motivator. i wasn't gonna try them on because i thought they weren't gonna fit, but i did anyway just to estimate how much more weight or inches i need to lose, and guess what? they fit!! i was shocked! AND they're skinny jeans, which are so not my style, but who cares! they fit AND i got them for only $15! LOL! i've been a size 18 for the last 4 years - the levi's i got.....size 13. :happy:

    so now i have to find something else. maybe a sexy black dress. :wink:
