Default Purchasing Motivation!!!

Before, I had a pair of my favorite jeans (a size 12) hanging on the back of my bedroom door to remind me that I was going to rock them again soon! But jeans can be blah! So I purchased some motivation!


I was looking through cute halloween costumes and my boyfriend saw one that he thought was particularly sexy. It wasnt midriff baring. And they definitely didnt have it in the plus size. But they had it in a large. And according to their sizing chart.... I'd only have a few inches to lose to fit in it. So later that night, when he wasnt around I bought it!!!!

I will wear this costume on Halloween and I'm going to look darn amazing in it too!!!

Woohoo! I bet you'll be smokin' hot at Halloween and your BF will be The best part is that it's a surprise....

I did the same thing - hung up a dress I wanted to fit into on my closet door, so I saw it EVERY day!! That worked for me, but my main motivation is always being as healthy as possible. A little extra push doesn't hurt, though!

Ok that is super cute. And I almost always have shapers invovled in my clothing.

And I see nothing wrong with purchasing motivation whenever I buy something that is to small I just keep it for when I drop to the right size. Also my sister was getting rid of a bunch of clothing and I took a pair of size 10, 8 and 6 pants to keep me going. I'm between a 14 and 12. I keep pulling the 10s up and seeing where they are.

Wow! That's hot. I can't wait to hear what he thinks when he sees you in it in Oct.

I had a pair of my fav jeans size 14 from the Gap for a motivator but they are too big now so I need something else. LOL! Dilemma dilemma.

Thats hot! I tried to buy motivational clothing but never actually had the guts to do it. I just don't seem to believe I'll ever fit into them so whenever I'm shopping for clothes and see a piece that I actually like and think I could use as motivational clothing I just end up putting it back..
Maybe one day..

I'm soooo excited too! I cant wait. I'm already thinking of awesome accessories like knee high gold gladiator sandals and maybe like, a gold hotpant to go under just in case (i'm not used to things that short :/ )

I highly recommend that everyone have something fun like this as a mini goal to work toward. Its a nice change from just another number to chase.

Aaooooga! That's a hot costume. I applaud you for having the guts to wear that, lol. That's a fun idea though, I might try it.
