Weight Loss Tip #51 Skinny Jeans
Be Realistic
When you are looking to buy clothing for motivation, or you have saved an item from your closet that is so teeny tiny there is no way you will be getting into them, why go through the pain? Be realistic about your current body, and the goals you want to achieve, and go from there. Putting a pair of jeans on that is 8 sizes too small will not be a good motivator. Make sure the jeans can button up, and then set your goals from that point on. When the jeans went from fitting “snug” to a little lose you will know that progress is being made.
