Motivation: SHOPPING!

If there is just no other motivation to loose weight, this might be one for many: you get to buy new clothes!

After watching the most recent episode of Project Runway it got me thinking about what people should wear when they diet. The women who posed as models on Bravo’s series Project Runway recently lost a significant amount of weight ranging from 60 pounds to 160 pounds. These women were wearing their favorite outfits from before the weight loss. The designers challenge was to make their large clothes into something new that would fit them. Not everyone has their own personal designer, so what do you do after you lose weight?

GO SHOPPING!!

Once you have lost weight you should be proud of your new figure and want to show it off. Do not wear your old clothes that are probably two plus sizes too big.
The best part of dieting is to feel good about yourself, so once you find yourself putting on your old jeans without even having to unzip them, go out and buy some new clothes that fit you and make you feel wonderful.

You do not want to end up like Kyle Norton from Penn State who was recently in The Onion newspaper for wearing the same clothes for months in a row. In an article entitled “Overweight College Student Announces Plans To Wear Shorts, Sandals for Rest of Year” The Union’s subtle humor pokes fun at Norton’s robust figure and how it has become a chore for him to even change his clothes because he is so overweight. If you have NO other motivation, let Norton’s story be it for you.
