my problem with staying motivated.

I hear you, I have the same problem. I just started tracking again last week. This time I am just going to have a day to day mentality. Focus on tracking today, drinking my water today, etc.
It will take me roughly a year to loose what I want...and that may be my goal in the end, but each pound I loose will be a small victory. Each pound represents a lot of work and effort and instead of only being proud of my end goal I am going to own each and every one of those pounds lost!
This time I am starting small, changing something here and there. I am not going drastically overhaul my life overnight so I will do it day by day.
I will add you as a friend so we can motivate and help each other!

Well, what's going happen when you reach goal weight that's so special?

In all reality? Nothing special will happen just because you reached your goal weight faster. You don't get to "stop" doing what you are doing, you have to keep working at it, some say even harder than when you were losing.

Why are you losing weight? To be healthier? To look better? Well, just the act of eating more healthily and exercising (hopefully) will help you get healthier. As you lose weight, you will continue to get healthier. As for looking better, why not work on that now? Last year when I was at my highest weight, you know what really helped me get and stay motivated? Dressing well and looking as good as I could. If you aren't happy with how you look now, you probably won't be much happier when you've lost the weight.

I've stuck with losing weight/maintaining it for 11 months now. That's longer than I've ever done that in my adult life. I did it by truly accepting that losing the weight wouldn't change anything. I accepted that I couldn't lose the weight and then stop doing whatever I'd been doing. I also realized that since I have a lot to lose, it would be a lot more pleasant of an experience if I actually allowed myself enough leeway to enjoy the ride. That means I have dessert a lot. I eat the foods I love. I'm truly happy to say that I could eat this way for the rest of my life.

Yeah, some day's I'd love to already be in the "regular" sizes, but I have a box of smaller clothes, many of them "regular" sized that only fit for a week or a month before I started gaining weight back because I couldn't stick with my strict eating plan. I'm more than happy with the fact that I'm wearing clothes about 3 sizes smaller than I was this time last year. And next year, if I'm still not at goal, I will be more than happy with the fact that I'm another size or 2 or 3 smaller and keep going from there.
