Hi all,
just thought I would start a thread about tricks to keep us all motivated. what works for me? you? When you're close to giving up.. what keeps you going?
Here is what I do, to help me keep the faith...
from the first week of dieting, I take pics of myself front, back and side view wearing a skin tight outfit.. and you have to be prepared to let it all hang out
The every few weeks (or every week if you prefer) re-take the pics of yourself in the same outfit and then compare the pics side by side..
for me... even if the scales are not always giving me what I want.. the pics speak a thousand words I want to hear and I always see a difference. It keeps me optimistic.. and on track
I have already uploaded my first week pics to my blog as I guess if it is public... I can't cheat!!! lol
The other thing I do is, I bought a large see through tub (I do mean huge) lol.. and every week I lose weight, I pour that amount of weight (in sugar) into the tub.. it starts to mount up quick and it feels heavy... so when I am feeling bad about myself or negative about my success.. I hold the tub in my arms for a few minutes and feel how much weight I have lost ... It keeps me motivated because I can FEEL the difference.
SOOOO..... what do you guys all do to keep you motivated? Share your secrets
