One of the biggest joys you can experience from a successful weight loss adventure is being to wear clothing you find sexy and wonderful all at the same time…without having to worry if you’ll look like an overstuffed eggplant while wearing it!

Everyone has their own ‘dream’ outfit, and some of them are quite out there! Our senior editor, Barbara, for example, put her emphasis on her arms and biceps - months of weight lifting and working out made them look rather respectable, so she invested in tank tops, sleeveless karate gi’s (uniforms) and the like.

Dream outfits (and other ways to reward yourself!) are great motivators! It’s quite a blast to realize that hey! I’m not fat anymore…and hey! I can really look good….not only to everyone around me, but to myself as well.

Here are some forums that discuss this:

• Looking Good, Feeling Great
• Goal Outfits
• Goal Outfits and Clothing

And if you’re anything like me, you might need some guidance in what constitutes “fashionable” to the generic mortal being. You can learn that from:

• Wardrobe fashion tips
• Style Tips 101
• About.com Fashion
• Beauty and Fashion Advice

And did you know, Amazon.com offers discounted fashions as well? You can see them in all their glory here. Every day new bargains come - you might be able to snap up something quite desirable.

Reward outfits help you feel great about yourself. If you’re currently on a weight loss journey, definitely create one for yourself - you cannot believe how thrilling it will be once you’re finally able to wear it, look at yourself in the mirror and say, my gosh, I’m hot.

Enjoy,

Barbara

ps - Sunglasses are considered fashionable too!
