Default Another suggestion for motivation

For those of us who used to be slender in days gone past, I thought of taking some old photos from that time period and put them around different places where I can see them - my bathroom, the kitchen, my car, at work, etc. This way it would motivate me to get back into that shape again (humor me here), whether it's possible or not. It's a goal to shoot for. It would also help me visualize myself as how I want to be instead of how I am now.

Old skinny pictures of myself do the opposite of motivate me, they make me feel very bad. I definitely can see how it would motivate some people!

That's a great idea! I put an old pair of jeans out and I would look at them every morning until one day, they fit!

Great idea! We all have to do what works for us. Good luck! I, on the other hand, have had a skinny photo of me on the fridge for 30 years. It apparently did nothing to help me! LOL
