Break out your skinny jeans -- no matter how close you are to being able to zip them up.

Can't even fit the waist of them around your thigh? No matter. Dig them out of the drawer, dust them off and hang them up in plain view somewhere near where you get dressed.

You know that old saying "Out of sight, out of mind"? Let's turn that phrase around in the new year by digging out our favourite 'skinny' piece of clothing and letting it act as a reminder of what we hope to achieve. A few weeks of being reminded of the jeans we want to fit into just might give us the motivation to do something about it, don't you think? In sight, in mind -- you can't forget about them if they're right there in front of you!
