Video Notes

  • When your clothes get baggy, get rid of them. Give them to Goodwill (or throw them away if they’re not in good enough condition, or sell them if you want/can.)
  • Keep clothes that fit your body in your closet.
  • If your budget is tight, buy stuff at Goodwill.
  • Don’t keep baggy clothes around “just in case.” Make a commitment that you’re never going back.
  • If you’re scared that you’ll regain the weight you lost, remind yourself: weight loss and maintenance is not magic, nor is it luck. It’s about continuing to take the actions every single day that will keep your weight in the right place.
  • Ignore the number and buy the size that fits you so that you’re comfortable and confident.
