What is your craziest, most secret motivation tool?

I 'll start. Right now , i am bidding on a bikini on ebay, that is nowhere near my current size. Right now I wear 34HH bra and just barely can button up a size 10 curvy jeans, but I can not sit down in it yet.
The bikini i am bidding for has a 32G top and size 8 bottom. It seems that it will go for dirt cheap, and I will use this as my motivation for next summer . Also last week i bought a pair of size 6 shorts at old navy clearance rack for $2


Anybody else with crazy secret things hiding as a motivational tools?
Fess up!

My secret motivational tool is this special hand puppet sock I'm waiting to wear down there. I want to look good wearing it. I can't wait.

Self-disgust and trying desperately to have the body I never had in my teens or twenties.

There's this really Australian that plays basketball for my college... And since we've become friends, I've always wanted to look my best.... Soo.... I worked out really hard all summer, lost a pant size, and flattened out my tummy quite a bit... Now, I feel so much more confident and sexier than ever.

Thinking "I'm young, I deserve to look hot!!"

This may not sound crazy to you, but I'm the sort of person who lives almost entirely in her own head. I'm so involved in thought and over-intellectualize everything, to the point where caring about conventions of appearance is completely contrary to my everything else I do/think.

My vanity is definitely showing, but it motivates me, in a really embarrassing, weird sort of way.

Tools at my gym.

There's always some douche who has no idea what they're doing in the gym, but has managed to get some good muscle growth.


Friends are great motivation too. I always want to outdo them.

i pick a special date (this time is new years eve) and set a realistic goal (20 lbs to cut). i make some simple plans such as buying a new outfit and going out somewhere nice, plenty of nice thoughts. every time i feel like i'm going to slip up i visualize how i would feel that day if i didn't reach my goal, then i visualize the opposite: me on that day, in a nice new outfit, feeling great and confident. at that point it all comes down to a simple choice... cake or my special day lol

My motivation:

My boyfriend of two years is away at college right now and when he comes home I want to look amazing and sexy skinny just to remind him why he comes home and what he's missing while he' away. I don't want him to come home after thinking about me and find that his thoughts/head made me look better than what I really am.

This.

Also, I think of all those people who have called me fat in some way; all those judgemental stares, those hateful giggles. I think of running into them later in life or hearing about them sometime and seeing where they've gotten themselves in life compared to me.

I used to be considered obese, and I was always the fat friend. After losing most of the weight, I'm in the United States Military, serving the country and saving lives every day, just like I was born to do. Now, I'm capable.

Where are your old enemies compared to you? Are you doing what you were born to do, or will losing weight help you reach that goal?

My tool isn't the same as the others here... I live for virtual trophies like from the Walking With Attitude website I'm on or for the FitBit badges that they give you for being active. It seems silly to be motivated by a virtual trophy or badge but for some reason that motivates me to log steps on my pedometer.
