Hi JaimeJean &
Ahh motivation... There have been some great threads on motivation and what it's all about recently. I believe you might look at weight loss differently after reading some of them... Here's one that I found to be true:

And, here are my own thoughts about motivation:
I slowly started to realize many months ago that motivation is not all it's cracked up to be. You know what weight loss has really taken? Dedication. Commitment. It can't just be motivation, because motivation is fleeting and fickle. Motivation is a fair-weathered friend. Gritty, dirty commitment is there with me when the going gets tough. Commitment is there with me when I have to dig down deep to stay on that treadmill. Commitment is there with me when I have to refuse that cake offered to me time & time again.
Don't sell yourself short. You can have a fun time without involving lots of food at restaurants. You can go out to restaurants and still be healthy.
Have a look around. Post where you're comfortable. You'll see there are many people here in the same boat.
Know that you can do this! You can continue!
Best of success!!!!
