Hello all! CW is 210 lbs, GW is 170 lbs. I'm just getting started (again) on my progress, and it's been tough going. Motivation has been an issue for me. I had an idea, though, on how I can motivate myself, and I wanted to share it with everybody in case it's useful for others.
I have a bunch of clothing in my closet that I LOVE but that doesn't fit me anymore. I bought a lot of it when I had succeeded in losing weight three years ago and was feeling amazing. I was about 170-180 then, and some of these items fit pretty snugly. I hate to get rid of them, because I love them so much and I miss wearing them. But they are just making me sad and frustrated when I see them hanging in my closet, sometimes try to put them on, and then discover/remember that they don't fit.
Here is my idea - I am going to box them up, maybe a couple at a time, and wrap them as gifts to myself. When my body has adjusted back to where I can fit into them again, I get to unwrap them. Some of the exciting gifts I'll be giving myself include:
- A bunch of soft, comfortable plaid flannel shirts
- A pair of dark-wash jeans that made my legs look fantastic
- A slinky little black dress
- An adorable blue dress with bicycle print
- My favorite museum souvenir t-shirts
Has anyone else tried this tactic before?
