Ugh Crisco the only thing looking at my driver's license picture would motivate me to do is acquire a drinking problem. :O( Speaking of, my license expires this summer, so I am DETERMINED that my picture will be of a face that's not bulging all over with fat. That is one of my motivations. Ive lived with this horrifying photo for years now.
I dont know any women whove lost to use as motivation... but every small woman I see motivates me. Plus, the guy Im seeing, we were friends first. He would constantly comment on good looking girls in front of me. He doesnt do it now, I dont know if thats of his own volition but I think he stopped when we were still friends, after one day, when he leaned out of his seat to do a double take and said "WHOA MOMMA" and I laughed and said "people are going to think youre my incredibly rude and inconsiderate boyfriend". He didnt say anything, he kinda giggled and looked at me in a thoughtful way, as if he were realizing something.
Anyway, none of the girls he commented on looked anything like me. They were all super tiny. I am not too overweight but I am not at all small, and I am flattered that he likes me anyway, even though I dont look like those girls. However I feel bad... obviously thats what he finds beautiful. He never ONCE commented on a girl my size. Well he says that he loves my body. But I think he loves me, and wishes I had a different body. Well he's not the only one!!!! He is a very nice guy, and while I was losing weight before him and will afterward, I want him to find whatever he is attracted to physically here, with me.
I know Ive ended up far from where you started, Im sorry. But thats one reason small women are a motivation. I want to be one of the girls he would double-take at. And Im GOING to be.

Then today, a woman came through my line with some groceries. She had a box of that Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal and I asked her about it. The original Fiber One cereal is so nasty but she told me that the Honey Clusters are delish. Then she told me that she was doing WW and she had lost 70 lbs! I told her I was doing WW at home and she told me to come to one of her meetings when I got the chance. I'm on this board everyday, to keep my morale up and I love seeing everyone's progress pictures but it's so amazing seeing it in person!
