Weight Loss Motivation

There are many reasons why women try to lose weight. We want to lower our blood pressure or cholesterol, reduce our chances of developing health problems such as diabetes or breast cancer, and overall, just be healthier. Let's be honest, though. Probably the most common reason ladies want to shape up and slim down is so we feel good about ourselves and our appearance. Who doesn't want to feel confident stripping down to a bikini?

With all the many reasons we have to lose weight, there are a million more ways to motivate ourselves to drop pounds. One not so traditional and pretty extreme way is to buy smaller-sized clothes. It may be just the thing to inspire someone to stick to their exercise plan, though. So tell me, would you buy clothes a size or two smaller to motivate you to reach your goal weight?
