my motivation

souffrir_belle

Okay so I decided to lose weight for completely the wrong reasons. My on/off boyfriend had once again left us off so I, stupidly,, thought that I would get back to my pre-relationship weight to make him realise how attractive he once found me (again I shall reiterate that it was completely the wrong reason to lose weight). However tonight, valentines, I have finally found the strength to move on and leave the self destructive relationship in the proverbial bin/trash can.

The only problem is that he was my motivation. I want to do this for myself but I already want to reach for.the junk food which has become my emotional crutch. I was hoping that I could hear some of your motivational stories in order to keep me on from pigging out.

Share the emotion, the experience and help the slim, active person inside me to become a reality.

Feel free to add me and give me a kick in the right direction.

I did that once before. And that's why it didn't last. All the work I did was temporary. (plus the fact that I did win back that crazy ***** is the worst thing I could have done)

You're going to be different. You didn't do all this just to give up now. You are going to realize that you are worth doing this for yourself and yourself only. And you're going to love the way it feels.

We all have junk food issues. I still gotta have some every now and then. But I log it, know what I'm doing to myself and try to burn off the calories.

Stick with MFP and it will work. You'll be happy and proud of yourself and it won't have anything do do with any man. It will have been for you and you'll feel amazing.

Aren't you worth that?
