I found this old picture of myself tonight. It blew my mind. this was only a couple years ago, The real kicker is, I remember taking that picture. I thought I needed to lose weight. Seriously me?
But anyways, my point of posting this is that I realized, after a couple hours earlier today looking at beautiful girls on google, trying to decide what I want to look like when I am done, that I do not need Megan Fox or any other famous people to motivate me. I have myself. I have been this way before. I can be back there again. I am so inspired by myself it is such a strange feeling, and I know once I reach this point again I will know not to take it for granted.

Good luck with your goals! When I work out, I am looking right at my wedding photo, and I would like to be just like that again... but I did cut out a photo from a magazine of a "real" person that has lost weight, is propped against my tv to help when I am really struggling to push it hard!0

I know exactly what you mean! I used to think I always needed to lose weight .. and then I got pregnant .. I had a pic of myself right before I found out I was 2 months along and man I would KILL to look like that now lol. This happened 4 years ago but I can still look back on that pic I took before when I was trying to get in better shape and use that pic of myself as motivation.0
