    Like you I had lost my weight about 7 years ago and then slowly put it back on. As soon as I started this journey again, I put a "skinny" picture of myself on my refrig and looking at it reminds me of how awesome I felt then and how much I enjoyed the compliments I received. Whenever I feel discouraged, I look at that picture and then find something healthy and filling to munch on. I hope this helps and I wish you the best in your journey. :flowerforyou:

    These threads are amazing and eye-opening to me. When I got to my heaviest, I really thought a motivational photo of myself at my thinnest adult weight (previously 227, and I was 300 at that time) would help me work back toward a better weight. I got it out for a week or so and it made me super angry and upset -- it really had the opposite effect on me. It's weird though because it really does work for some people.

    Above all, I think that the key is figuring out what works for you. Definitely :-)
