  • I think about how I want to be completely happy with my body on my wedding day! I also remind myself that I chose a destination wedding at a beach, and all of our family and friends are going to see me in a swim suit! I've never been 100% confident with my body in my entire life. I want to not be self conscious about any part of my body.

    I think about how disappointed I was on myself last time I gave up this lifestyle~

    and

    I tell myself that my husband deserves the hot woman he met ~ not the mess she has turned into!!

    I remember how my doctor simply said "try harder." I decided at that moment, "I can do that."

    ...I remember all of the smokin' hot clothes I'm gonna buy when I get to GW!

    Amen! I remember that for the first time in my life, I'm wearing Matchstick jeans from J Crew!

    YOU GO GIRL!! :drinker:

    I usually have my hand on some chocolate cake. ;-)

    The good thing is that, even if I do have some cake, I am better at limiting my servings now than I used to, because I remember that I've already lost quite a bit.

    I remember how fat and depressed I was 15 months ago. I will never go back to that!

    That was my big motivation the last time I lost big weight! Hopefully this time will be the last! Congrats to u!!

    I agree, i used to over indulge a lot. Now i can have a few bites (or small slice) and enjoy and not over do it :)

    I go to the back of my closet where I keep clothes I've bought over the last couple years that don't fit right, or at all and see that there is still work to be done. THEN I go into my wardrobe and pick out some things that didn't fit a month ago and put them on and take a picture, proving to myself that even though I have a way to go, I've already done a lot.

    I think about how angry I was at myself for waiting so long to understand that this is a lifestyle choice not a diet.

    I don't. I tell myself that I'm worth this and in the end, it will all be worth it. OH and remember how much I LIKE to look in the mirror now. =)
