Visual motivational tool

aberrantdream

Hi I just came up with a great idea. I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with it but I wanted to share it. I made a visual motivational tool using two 16 oz. plastic cups and pennies totaling the number of pounds I want to lose. One cup (labeled "pounds to lose") has all the pennies in it and as I lose weight I put one penny in the other cup (labeled "pounds lost") for each pound I lose. This motivates me to keep losing weight because I don't want to take pennies out of the "pounds lost" cup and put them back into the "pounds to lose" cup. It pushes you to continue to lose weight until all the pennies from the "pounds to lose" cup are gone. Hope this helps some one.

You can use whatever you have laying around the house to make this. Such as mason jars and pebbles or marbles.
