A Token to Remember to Stay On Track

I was wondering if anyone has a token of some kind, maybe something they wear or carry, that they use to help keep them on track?

I think I need something like this. For me, perhaps a bracelet because I work at a computer all day and will see it on my wrist. And when I see it I will remember why I'm working so hard to lose this weight.

If you have something like this, what is it?

    What is something that is motivating you to lose weight? Do you have kids or anything? One thing that a friend of mine did was she had a bracelet that you could put pictures in, and she had pictures of her kids in the bracelet. Her main motivation was them, and whenever she'd think about giving up, she'd look at the bracelet and remember why she was losing the weight. It seemed to help her quite a bit.

    This isn't quite the same thing...but I started getting really good manicures with bright colors, like red, so that when I am bringing. Y hand to my mouth to eat something the bright red or coral or whatever catches my eye.

    I am losing weight so my husband and I can start trying to have a family.

    (I guess it would be pretty weird to wear a bracelet with pictures of babies that aren't mine...)

    What you could always do is get pictures of things related to babies - a crib, rattle, pacifier, bottle, stuff like that and put it in there. That might be an option. I agree, would be odd having pictures of babies that aren't yours ;)

    At this point I am trying to decide between a ring or a bracelet, and between an anchor or a ship's wheel.

    I really want something relatively inconspicuous.

    I don't have a specific token or something I wear or use every day, but when I started working out again, I got myself a necklace and earring set with butterfly charms because I love the symbolism of change.

    I have a picture on my desk of me with my Mom, sister & neice. As usual I'm twice the size of anyone else in the family so this is a good reminder for me. :ohwell:
