"Be happy for what you have when working for what you want....So much has been given to me, I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied".....

I find that my weight loss journey is so much easier when I dont hate what I see in the mirror. So everyday I get up - I fix my hair, I put on make up and wear the most flattering and cutest outfits I own. I get regular mani/pedis and stand up straight.

All of these things motivate me to keep eating healthy and working out. Its ok to love yourself when your not at your goal weight. :)

    You are SO right. For so long I thought I will buy cute clothes when I lose weight. I just started taking care of myself in the way you described and it really helps

    You're very right about that! It's so hard for me to learn, but I try every day. Today I bought a few new shirts with color and print because all of my clothes are solid black, white or gray! At one point in the store, I thought to myself, "I'm going to get these, even though I don't deserve them." I stopped myself right there and reminded myself I've lost 45 pounds! I DO deserve a few new things!

    I can't wait to wear them and feel pretty :)
