I agree with what you've all said, but could there be another side as well? Maybe you're too afraid of failure (you've failed before?) to succeed on the plan, that you'll just gain back, anyway, or never make it to your goal so why get your hopes up by buying smaller clothes?? This is something that I REALLY struggle with--will I or won't I get to goal? I don't look too far into the future because it scares me, so I try to keep my head down and just LC one day at a time. Am I scared of getting to goal or NOT getting to goal. Hmm, maybe it's the same thing you've said, but in a different way...
