I've decided "MFP" doesn't stand for "MyFitnessPal," it actually stands for "MOTIVATION, Friends! PLEASE?!"

What is the matter with me!? I hate what I see when I look in the mirror, yet the motivation to do something about it isn't there.

I lost almost 30 pounds in 2010 using MFP. I went on vacation and got off track, and never got back on it. I have now gained back ALL but six of my 30 pounds. It's depressing.

I just booked a vacation, and I want to lose that weight again before I leave. I'm going to meet a bunch of blog friends that I have never met before, and I hate the idea of introducing myself as a blob.

I've tried hanging a skinny picture of myself where i see it all the time, and it depresses me that I don't look like that anymore. I hang up a picture of what I currently look like and it pisses me off that I've let myself go. In either case, I grab something to eat and drown my woes in chocolate or ice cream. GAH!!!

What do you do to keep yourself on track?

    I tried hanging a picture of myself on the fridge and it depressed the heck out of me too. My motivation was finding that my size 20 pants, which were a little loose since Im really an 18W, were getting tighter. I realized that I just CANNOT buy a new wardrobe and that I cannot keep staying at this weight. I signed up for a 5k to motivate me a little more. It's a more concrete goal because I will have to do something like run in front of people!
