Millions of Britain's women buy under-size clothes as an (incentive) to help them lose weight, a survey has found.
More than a third of women deliberately buy clothes which are too small for them because they are determined to (slim down) enough to fit into them one day, it (found).
The research found that on average these (women) confessed to buying three under-size items of clothing each.
This means about 24 million dresses, skirts, blouses and trousers hanging (idly) in the country's wardrobes --- as their owners battle to (fit) into them.
The research uncovered Scots as the (biggest) purchases women make, with one in six claiming to own ten or more items they have bought knowing they are too small.
Christine Evans, Lloyds pharmacy's weight (management) specialist, which conducted the research, said: "If slipping into a little black dress or a smaller jean size is something someone finds motivating, then buying an under-size (garment) could be a very sensible investment.
"Many people, women especially, have a daily (reminder) of their size in the form of an item of clothing they want to fit into one day.
"Deliberately buying these clothes could be an effective (strategy)."
She added: "Taking control of weight loss is all about (setting) realistic goals and then taking action to achieve them".
