Did you ever do this? Buy some clothes in which you cannot fit in and put them somewhere you can see them everyday, thinking "someday it will fit me!" ?
I hear about this method some time ago and i think it is very inspirational.
You have something that you cannot have for the moment, but you feel forced to have it someday :)

I never bought any that wouldn’t fit me because I think that it would be a waste of money. Although, I have done it unintentionally when I bought a clothes that was smaller than my actual size. I said to myself that one day I would fit on those clothe.
I never did come to wear that clothe.

No I don't buy clothes for when they "might fit"....It's not sensible....Only when your body is a different size should one buy new clothes to fit it.....

I think that I would never do that simply because I would just waste my money buying those clothes. It is not a wise move. Whenever I buy clothe, I make it sure that I can wear it as soon as I got home. Why would you buy any clothes if you don’t plan on wearing them?

I also think it is a waste of money.
Maybe you will lose more weight or maybe you just cannot get pass a certain weight, so buying clothes just to stare at them is really not my kind of idea of help :D

I am a guy, I don't buy clothing too much. I have some clothes that don't fit me anymore since I lost weight, so that means I have to pass through the ordeal of shopping. Just hate it. Will buy some clothes that I can wear now (my pants are all looking baggy now) and then get ready for some more shopping after I lose some kilos again.

I have some clothes from when I was young and thinner and I still keep them in the closet so that I can see if they fit me someday again, even if they won't be good for me now, I am not a teen anymore. I don't shop for other clothing that would be smaller since I can't know how I progress. I can still save money from a nice shopping spree though :D

Sometimes I think I have a wardrobe full of clothes that don't quite fit! I'm afraid that doesn't inspire me to lose weight, it just makes me feel defeated and miserable. When I buy clothes I tend to buy things that are just a bit too big or in baggy styles. I think I try to hide because I am not happy with my shape, but that just makes me look and feel worse.

No, I have never bought clothes that have not fit me and put them somewhere in the closet to look at them and dream about a time when they would. I have however bought clothes that haven't fit me and have them adjusted. I did this because I tend to fall in love with certain types of clothing when I go shopping and I just got to have them... Luckily it doesn't happen very often... :)

I have never intentionally bought clothes that were too small, I don't think that sort of goal would work for me, it would just make me feel worse. I have problems buying clothes anyway because I am short so trousers and skirts are far too long, and when I buy tops the sleeves are too long. I am very happy when I find clothes that actually fit.

I have not encountered these problems because I'm a male :). I mean, I don't buy clothes that don't fit my figure. I follow the simple guide: if I feel comfortable in them and they look good on me, I buy them ASAP. As for the internet, I don't shop online, I prefer the traditional "grab 'em all" method, it's safer.

I have some clothing from when I was slimmer, but I don't buy clothes now. I am losing weight and try to get some sizes that would help me wear them for some time. I am just like a kid now, it's just that I don't outgrow my clothes, I just get into smaller sizes and this would mean a lot of shopping
