    motivation: my "skinny outfit"

    hi everyone--

    I was just thinking today about wearing "fun" clothes that I'm confident and sexy in after reaching my goal weight. I thought it would be fun to browse online and pick out my new outfit, just to get a taste of what it would feel like to be able to shop without feeling fat, down, guilty, etc.

    I know this is a girl thing, but I thought I'd share my dream "skinny" outfit. Something to work for. Feel free to share if you have one too!



    My dream outfit
    Top: a decorative white halter top (to show off the sexy arms, neck and back)
    bottom: pinstripe capris (to show off the cute butt, while also showing off the toned calves)
    shoes: cute heels, OF COURSE!
    steph
    ballerina...you must have seen her

    age: 21
    height: 5'6"
    location: worcester, mass (although tucson,az is my real home!)
    occupation: math/music major at Holy Cross
    day 1 of induction: April 29th, 2007 (STA)


    May Challenges
    Ab challenge: 2/25 ab workouts
    Stretch challenge: 65/620 minutes
    Cheat free days: 4/31

    I'm so cliche, but to wear a 2-piece would be really nice. I don't think I've worn one WELL (like without flab) since I was maybe 4 years old. LOL.

    But, I'd also love to wear cute capri's and shirts that say "M" or "Medium"..

      Does a black leather bra count? It hasn't fit for years.
      Short summer dresses

      I don't even know what my style is or will be anymore.

        At this point, anything that doesn't come from the plus size dept is my skinny outfit. My motivating one right now is a cute sundress that I wore last summer in the Bahamas when we went there for my nieces wedding. I was wearing size 14 and 16 and wasn't happy then, but I'd love to be there now! Soon, with a little hard work, I'll be back there.

          Last summer I found this cute little summer skirt and a simple tank top, but I had bulges where you shouldn't and it looked ridiculous on me. I came out of the change room and saw someone about 20 lbs lighter than me with the same outfit on and she looked like I wanted to. I think about that skirt all the time now! That's what I want to be able to wear this summer. Here's hoping!

              You'll get there Bizzie! Dresses are so nice to wear aren't they? I love things that feel floaty and feminine.

                        I would really like to just be able to wear a pair of short shorts that show off my newly toned and thin thighs! (maybe next summer I still have 50 lbs to go, LOL)

                          LOL...I was thinking along the same lines as you, Sandy; the matching unders and DD not showing them to anyone LOL. My DD11 has more matching underclothes than I do....so not fair.

                          Okay, I need to add to my "skinny outfit"...matching underbritches.


                          I say we all go out and buy matching underbritches, guys, too!

                            I have modest goals. Fit into my old size 32 jeans (no more baggy, saggy pants!). Wear a nice Medium shirt and look GOOD in it. This means no man boobs being squished into weird positions!

                            Ah, the small things in life are TOTALLY worth working for!

                              I agree Ryan, baby steps and smakk goals at a time are so rewarding and keep you moving!
                              I am changing my skinny outfit to just be moving from a size 12-14 to a size 10.
