A strategy of dubious merit

[miss_pryss]

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.

I bought an "aspirational t-shirt" this weekend. Of course, it was only $15.

I kept a too-small tweed blazer on this principle. It didn't actually fit after I lost the ten pounds, though.

I did the same thing too...

I ordered my prom dress to be made about a month and a half before actual event and gave measurements that were about a size and a half smaller than actual.
I kept a picture o what dress was supposed to look like by my mirrior and by the time dress arrived, it fit perfectly!

Just find a source of inspiration and you can do it.
