What is everyone's big motivator? Is it a number on the scale that your trying to achieve? Or a favorite pair of jeans that you want to get back into? Is it a special day you want to look good for?
I really don't know what mine is. In the short term I really get pumped when that scale reads smaller week after week. If I have a big drop, my day is made! I feel invincible and it pushes me to do better in the week ahead so I can have another 'high'. I picked my long term goal for no other reason than it sounded good. I have no real date I want to be thin for or a real size/weight that I want to be. Heck, I woke up on Jan 8th and decided I didn't want to be fat anymore and started busting my butt to get rid of the extra weight. I changed my entire life overnight, litterally!
I haven't seen my extended family since Christmas or before so I'm excited to see if they will notice but I'm not sure when I'll see them. None of them know I'm losing weight and part of me want's to just stay in hiding until I can emerge out of my 'fat shell'! I saw a co-worker of Sam's yesterday (haven't saw her since Sept) and she mentioned that I looked like I lost some weight. What a great feeling! People noticing!!!
Anyway, I was just curious as to what your drive to success is...
