Have you guys ever bought a clothing item
that was too small with the specific idea
of it being motivation for weight loss? I
went to a store with my friend that sells
dresses. They only have one of each kind,
and a lot of the clothes is vintage and
unique. I found a dress and I want to
wear it to prom next june but it is a size
6. I'm no size six. I got it on but it
didn't zip up all the way in the back.
I'm thinking I want to buy it and have it
hanging in my room and use it to make sure
I drop enough weight with a prom time
limit. The problem is if I fail I'm going
to have wasted my money. Have you guys
ever done this to yourselves? Is it a bad
idea?

I have never done this myself, but I think
it's a good idea. One of my friends
actually bought some jeans the other day,
with the same idea in mind. I guess it
also depends on the price of the dress. I
think you should go for it  What does the dress
look like?

I have done that before with something I
couldn't get over my hips.. FINALLY when I
did.. The fit was weird and I didn't like
it
BUT if this dress looks good on and all
that you have to do is make the zipper go
all the way up.. Good choice.. Its a size
6 what size are you? How long do you have?

Hmmm, that's a great idea. Maybe I can do
that now that I have all this baby fat.
Btw- I think that you look good and have
no doubt that you will be able to be a
size 6 by next June
Good luck.

I think that's a good idea Tanya! Even tho
you are beautiful just the way you are,
and Rowan loves you to pieces either way!
I say go for it, especially if it makes
YOU feel good about yourself.
Terra, you're such a mean nice
person....always tellin' people to shut
up.

erm ok, I think you two are nutso!
It's a good idea Tanya. It would give you
great inscentive and then maybe you 'll
find other clothes in that size you would
like? It would encourage you to keep the
weight off!

I've done it before with a pair of jeans
but unfortunatly for me it didn't work. If
you have more discipline than I do though
- you'll do great! I just couldn't stay
away from mountain dew & junk food.

If you tried it on and couldn't get the
zipper up all the way (just partialy) I
say go for it! That sounds reasonable. I
don't think you should start with
something you can't get on at all but
something you can almost get on sounds
great!

I did it once and ended up having to wang
the trousers because I never did fit into
them.
However, that's me and I suck at dieting
so if you think you have good willpower
then go for it!
By the way, you look gorgeous so I don't
know why you're worrying

I've done it, and it didn't work. I'm
such an immediate gratification person. I
would try on the outfit every week and be
so sad that it didn't fit that I would go
get a pint of Ben and Jerry's to wash away
my sorrow. I'm not a very good dieter.
I'm going to go eat an M&M cookie now

What does the dress
look like? |
It was around 130, Canadian dollars keep
in mind. So not bad. It looks sort of
like this
except not really anything like that since
that is a drawing I did in paint over top
of a girl (I did the hair too!). The just
of it is that it's not full length, and
that it is a blueish greenish colour. I
thought the colour looked really good with
my pale skin, and from what I could tell
from having it on it seemed to really suit
my body shape.

That is a very creative way to look at it
haha, thanks Melissa.

I think even if it didn't look right once
it actually fitted it wouldn't have been a
waste of my money because it still helped
motivate me to work off my flab. Which
would be priceless! I don't know what
size I am in dresses, far from a 6. I was
surprised I even got it on. My sister is
probably 35ish pounds lighter than me and
she was just in a wedding and her dress
was a size 10 (I think). So I have no
idea why I even sort of fit into that size
six dress. I think it's because all my
fat is on my tighs and ass, their huge. I
have until next June. I want to lose
about 35 - 45 pounds eventually. If I did
that in that time I might even need the
dress taken in around the waiste, which
would be an amazing feeling I think.

Actually I am fat. That's not an emotion
or a bad feeling I have about myself,
that's a scientific fact. I weighed
myself a week ago and was 177. So I am
fat, thanks though.
And I don't think there is anything wrong
with wanting to look better. Accepting
being overweight is just as unhealthy as
obssesing with weight loss I think.
Thanks everyone for the replies! I will
go buy the dress as soon as I put some
money together (and then I will take a
picture of it). I know my old clothes
haven't motivated me to lose weight (most
of my old pants I can't get up over my ass
still...) but I think this is different,
because those clothes just depress me, and
this dress makes me feel cheerful and like
I really want to do this (the healthy way,
since I can't do the quick big weight drop
and hold it off until June in a healthy
way... I'm going to need to do this the
right way).
Thanks for the replies, they were all
helpful.
