I have been back to dieting for a while now. Admittedly, I have had about as many bad days as I have good days lately. I have had a lot of trouble staying motivated to eat right, and I have had couple medical/physical issues stand in the way of exercising. Mostly, it has just been a matter of weak will power. That is, until the other day when my sister and I started talking about her getting married. Her boyfriend hasn't popped the question yet, but he has ordered the ring and we all know it's going to happen. She told me to be prepared to be asked to be a bridesmaid. When she said that I was so flattered and so excited! I realize I am her sister, and why wouldn't she ask me? But I have 2 other sisters, both of which are married, and neither asked me to be a bridesmaid. The one getting ready to be engaged and I are pretty close, so it makes sense, but hearing that just got my blood pumping! I have been looking at dresses and thinking about all the things I can do. Without really thinking about it I assumed I would be ordering my dress in a few sizes smaller than I am now because, DUH, I am going to work out so I look good! It was instant motivation. For the first time in a while I got really excited about how good I will look when I lose more weight, and that is a huge motivator to me. I am so glad something finally kicked me into gear and got me excited to lose weight again! I lost 45 lbs last year and I felt SO good...then I gained back about 25-30 of it and felt like I could never do it again. I am at a point where I am so excited to drop what I lost last year and then some. WOO HOO for sisters getting married!!!
Sorry for rambling!
What has you motivated?
