Actually, if you lose that weight, you may enjoy wearing nice things more.
I eat relatively well and I work out 3-4 times a year for most of the year. Part of the benefit of staying in that kind of shape is showing it off by wearing well-fitting clothes.
If you google "How much should I spend on a suit," most publications/blogs will say it doesn't necessarily matter...what matters most is that the suit fits you like a glove. This is true, except with the caveat that the better quality suit, the better the chances of it fitting like a glove. For off the rack suits, the way the suit is constructed often is correlated with how much the tailor can alter it. It doesn't necessarily have to be very expensive for it to fit you well, but it helps if it is made to some minimum level of quality/materials.
I know that when I got in better shape I really got a boost of confidence and that confidence was further increased by dressing well. Like I mentioned earlier, wearing a nice suit or even a really nicely fitting shirt can be your "armour." I feel like staying in good shape and dressing well is an investment in my career, to be honest.
I'm sure most people don't think about clothes this way, but I've found it to be very true for me.
I'm far from a fashion guy but I also started to buy and wear much nicer clothes when I got in better shape.
