5. Buy new clothes. If you drop weight and can therefore fit into new clothes – go buy some. It may sound dumb but when I bought a pair of 36” waist jeans (instead of the 38/40 I was wearing before) it was a huge encouragement to me. If money’s a problem just go to the thrift store – you can find at least one article of clothing there that will do you justice. And if not you can at least laugh at how you can wear ugly clothes that are smaller than the ones you wore before.
It is so awesomely motivating to wear clothes you did not wear before because you looked bad in them, and now you look better. Or to wear something smaller than you wore before. Every time I put on a pair of 34” pants I feel motivated. You might also try out new kinds of clothes you didn’t bother with before. Today I am wearing a button-up shirt, tucked into a pair of NON-JEANS (gasp) – and you can see my belt. When I looked in the mirror and actually saw my belt – it made me excited to wake up early tomorrow morning and get to the gym. So you may not think about it – but if you’ve lost some weight go try on some clothes that are smaller than the ones you currently wear – you may surprise yourself.
