A strategy of dubious merit

So I'm trying to lose a little weight -- nothing extreme, I just want to get back where I was this time last year. ~10 lbs or so.

In the interests of encouraging this process, I went shopping last week and bought a bunch of blouses in a slightly-too-small size. Now I'll HAVE to loose the weight, right? So the buttons on my cute new shirts don't pop?

...We'll see if this works.
