Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

I'm weird. I just want a nice pair of jeans with ankle boots with a 3" heel and a nice white tucked in top. Oh! And a belt with extra notches to show that I'm not barely squeezed into that belt.

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

Okay my dream outfit is ......

Bucka*@ naked.


Seriously.


It's been so long since I've felt comfortable walking around my own house without a shirt, it's sick.

And I have nice muscle mass underneath this layer of fat, I want to see it.


No maybe not all the way naked ..... but no shirt.

That isn't weird.. I would LOVE to be able to tuck my shirt in with a belt

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

Last week I was cleaning and found my favorite belt. I knew I wasn't even close to fitting in it. I was so heart broken when I saw the difference.

But you know what? I decided that belt will show me what I was and what I'll become and left it right on the dresser to see everyday. In a couple of months, that bad boy will fit! I don't care how long it takes.

Even though that belt is probably considered by some a "fat belt." But I did look and feel good at that weight, so I don't care.

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

I was walking around my house today with a bunch of different sized skirts and shorts for the summer. I've had this way cute size 6 skirt since last summer, I picked it up at a garage sale for a dime just as some motivation. Well, I sell a lot of clothing on ebay, and rummaged through my inventory today. I had layed out on my bed: a pair of size 18 shorts I'm wearing now, a size 16 skirt from last summer, a size 14 skirt from my inventory, a size 12 pair of shorts, a size 8 skirt and that size 6 skirt. I was looking at everything all layed next to each other trying to visualize me dropping from one size to the next and getting into that size 6. Actually, when I compared the size 18 to the size 6, it was probably only a difference of 8 or 9 inches, I started to think, I CAN do this! So I have many different items ready for me as the inches start to come off, and that adorable skirt has been waiting for a year for me to wear it, so I am making it a reality! Courtney

That is great motivation.. My daughter asked.. what are you going to use once those capris don't fit anymore.. I can get them all the way up and can walk in them but not comfortable. I said don't worry I am sure I have something else smaller in the closet to work toward.. I actually have this purple windsuit that I got for Christmas years ago that I never got rid of.. Its a size Large..now that would be an awesome goal.. I gotta dig those things out..

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

This is going to be really off the wall (what's new? ) but I want to climb into my kayak with plenty of room to spare. Right now, it's a tight fit. I so cannot wait to be able to place certain things on the sides of the seat (like a bottle of water or can of bug spray) and be able to reach down comfortably and retrieve them.

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

Ok, I have to get in on this one! Its a very modest goal, but I have a pair of super cute black dress pants that I bought after I lost thirty pounds the last time. They're a size 11, and I am currently in a size 16. I tried to put them on a few weeks ago and I couldn't even get them up past my thighs. Those are my mini goal pants and they're hanging on the front of my closet door staring at me everyday. Of course, I eventually would LOVE to be able to wear shorts and a tank top which I haven't done in YEARS! I always go shopping with my sister who is 5'5 and 120 pounds. I envy the way she can just snatch clothes off the rack and look great in them, without having to tug and stretch and suck in. She tells me I'm too picky, but really she just doesnt understand how hard it is to find clothes that actually look good on me. So the ultimate goal is to be able to go clothes shopping and not come home depressed and in tears.
Im on my way!!!!

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

I want to wear this dress. And I want the shoes. I just love a sassy, red and white polka dotted dress. Every time I get my hands on a cute one, I wear it to death.

Short term - I want to be able to fit back into my dickies pin stripe capri pants.

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

Re: motivation: my "skinny outfit"

this is a great motivational thread, because if you can see it, you can go after it. I use to hang clothes on the wall and look at them constantly and work towards them...clothes are such a motivator, especially since the scales can be down right evil!

I've achieved and gotten into what I've always dreamed of, a tankini, I bought it yesterday....It's a nike sports tankini, and I am so proud! It's beyond my wildest dreams to be here...and I bought a size 8 pair of shorts....SIZE 8, that's down from a size 22 shorts I wore this time last year...All the hard work and focus and determination PAY OFF, and I have to tell you it helps so much to visualize dream outfits and work towards them!
