And here I was feeling bad because I joined with complete motivation to lose all of my weight back in 2007.
The important thing is that you keep coming back. I thought I was going to have a perfect road to weight loss... and I did REALLY well back then. I got down to 145 pounds, then I messed up for a few days, gained some, and gave up and stopped coming to 3FC. Now I weigh in the 170's... and I look like I weigh in the 200's because I'm an apple shape and have a huge "beer gut" like a man would have, or look pregnant only mushier, haha.
Anyway... I thrive on negative motivators for some reason, so what motivates me wouldn't necessarily work for others. For example:
-My mom called me last night to ask if I was dieting now because when she visited for Christmas she was disappointed to find that I weighed what I did when I was pregnant with my daughter.
-My boyfriend's dad made a fat joke when we were out for NYE and spent about 5 minutes emphatically apologizing to me, which only made matters worse that he would feel so bad about making a fat joke around me.
I just get so angry at myself when these things happen (which is an increasingly frequent occurence for me, lately) that it ends up being motivation.
