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 Smile 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 Smile

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.

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 Wink

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

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.
