Have any of you bought an article of clothing that is too small for motivation?

I do it all the time!  I have a little section in my closet that is for my future clothes!  I can't pass up great deals!  I even bought a pair of Liz Clayborne pants  in a size 10 this past week for $3.99 at Ross!!! 

I've got clothes ranging from almost every size. Clothes that I couldn't bear to get rid of and others that I bought because they were so cheap. I can't wait until I can pull those clothes out and wear them without fearing I'm going to rip it apart like the Incredible Hulk.

I just bought a new dress from Old Navy yesterday!  It is too small - I can't get the side zipper zipped & it is definitely too tight, but I bought it for motivation because it is soooo cute!  I am determined to fit into it!!!!  I had my lap-band over a 2002 bypass as a revision, so I have been warned that I will lose super slow.  So, with that in mind I only bought one size smaller than I am now so that I don't get too frustrated.  As soon as I can fit in to it I am going to take a picture & use it as my new avatar...I LOVE that dress!!!!!!!! 

Oh yes,  when I started this I did buy a new swimsuit for teaching lessons in that was on sale still $50 that is a size 8.  When I bought it my suits for work were a size 22/24.  I guess I am now a 10/12 so that new suit is calling and I am hoping by Christmas to be wearing my suit.
