Motivation Glasses

Ok. So, I'm a visual person. Yes, I know how much weight I've lost, and I know how much I still need to lose. BUT, don't you think it sinks in better when you have a visual aid? I have to admit, I got this idea from Pinterest (where MOST of my ideas come from!) These are my motivation glasses (pictured below). All I used to decorate them was some Sharpies. In case you can't see the writing very well, one of them says, "Time to Get Fit" and "I can do this!" and the other says "Time to Celebrate!" and "I Rock!". Inside each glass are some glass beads, each one representing a pound. In the "Time to Get Fit" glass are the pounds I still have to lose. In the other glass, the beads represent the pounds I've lost. (Duh.) Each time I weigh myself, and I've lost weight, I move that number of beads over to the Celebrate glass. It's fun and VERY motivating to see the Celebrate glass begin to fill up, and the Get Fit glass get more and more empty! You might think I'm a dork (hell, I even think I'm a dork!), but who the hell cares? I do what works for me. I'm sharing this because it may work for you, too!
