Well it is really good that you are aware of what triggers you. Personally I cant weigh myself because no matter what the scale says it triggers me. If it goes up I freak out, if it goes down I want to loose more so it is better that I just dont know.
Definately if I eat to much salt(doesnt take much since kidneys dont work right)
Flashbacks
being alone
trying on clothes..love my uniforms because they just have a string you pull(I hate tight clothes)
Top triggers that get me motivated
1. my health (it sucks but this makes it worse)
2. my family
3 not wanting to fail..only a failure if you fail to try
4my friends..I dont want to disappoint them
5 work..I love my job and I get so weak that I dont know how much longer I can do it
6.I am not ready to die...that says it all. Just about been there and done that and it sucks! lol0 -
