I agree with the statement about motivation not being the key - unfortunately I have very little self-discipline (something I am working on). But motivation does serve it's purposes - it sure does help kick start things from time to time.

Lately I have been trying hard to pay more attention to how I dress & groom myself when I go out in public. Tonight we had a baby shower which I dreaded & as usual I was the fattest at the table but I am trying to use this as motivation. I have beautiful, well dressed friends & the idea of being part of that is very exciting!!!

Motivation is a HUGE stumbling block for me! Congrats on registering in classes! I find being accountable helps me to remain disiplined!

It took me a really long time to find out where my motivation is. I find that when I'm slacking on my goals or health, I just need to be honest about it. My partner has had to hear my confessions so many times! They are always different, sometimes about feeling stressed out, sometimes about my fear of failing and most of the time, once I've confessed to him I get back on track. Part of this has to do with being acountable to my partner! I know he knows *L* and his faith in me helps me to stick to my goals.
