Thread: Movtovational Dress?

I don't like the idea of buying a dress now that is smaller so you're motivated to fit in it later. Not that the idea behind it is bad, because it is actually a good motivator! But here's my issue, and it's just a practicality thing... you really can't tell where you are going to be in your weight loss 4 months from now. Yes, you can have a goal, but life sometimes happens and there is no guarantee that you will meet it, and there's always the opportunity to even surpass it! So if you buy that dress now - what happens if it doesn't fit you in 4 months because it is too big or too small? What happens if the size is right, but your body shape has changed due to your weight loss and the dress cut is no longer flattering on your leaner body? You would have to go out and get a new outfit anyway.

So here's my suggestion - use your desire to look great for high school as your motivation, and purchase a new dress at the end of the four months to celebrate your success. You want to look faboosh for your first day at high school, and if you work your booty off this summer (literally? lol), before school starts you can go out shopping and buy that beautiful dress that fits your new body perfectly! No guessing games about if a dress you buy now will fit you, or compliment your new bod, in 4 months!

Good job on losing some weight so far! and I wish you the best on your weightloss journey over the summer!!
