Is anyone else inspired by old pics of themselves?

So I have not always been big. I used to be an athlete so I am used to being fit. I see old pictures of myself and would do anything to look like that again. But I guess I have something to work toward. Does anyone else use their old body as motivation?

I have seen a lot of people with the same sort of motivation!

I am the opposite.

Just like you Sunshine, I look at where I was last year, and realize why I am still working to keep this weight off, gain muscle, and be the best I can be

Yes I do when you see pictures of your old self, it makes you feel that much better with your new self. The other thing I do have a big bag with weights in it equivalent to what I've lost, and when the willpower is struggling I live the bag up think I can't do that again.
