in Motivation and Support
I started writing letters to the future me who gets discouraged and unmotivated. Decided to share on the off chance that it motivates someone else.

3/7/14

I am currently browsing through success stories on Myfitnesspal and I am so envious, jealous, and motivated to become one of those girls. They have such amazing results. I want to be in their position. I want to change my life the way that they changed theirs. I don't want to be in this body anymore.

I know what I need to do to make that happen. I need to stay on track. I need to eat properly. I need to work out. I need to put myself FIRST. On days where I want to give in and eat something horrible for me, I need to go and look at these success pictures.If these girls can do it, so can I. It will be hard and it will be unbearable at times, but I can do it. No more excuses, no more tricking my mind in to thinking its okay to over eat. It is NEVER okay to go back again. I deserve more in this life. I deserve to climb a mountain and throw my fist in the air at my accomplishments. I deserve to look good in the clothes that I buy and have them actually fit me. I deserve to feel good about myself. I need to quit being a watcher and start being a DOER and make it happen. I deserve this so much. I deserve to be healthy and skinny. I DESERVE THIS! DON'T GIVE UP. Please for the love of anything in this life, don't give up. MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF. Be someone that you look up to. Be someone to inspire others. You are worth it.

    I really like this idea. Often times I get frustrated or lose my motivation or forget that feeling when I'm doing so well. I really like this idea and I think I'm going to do it too. Thanks for sharing! Keep going and stay strong!

    Hey there, great attitude, you need to keep that. Let me tell you that being on the forums here have been so motivating for me. Also let me tell you, this is the farthest with weight loss I have ever gone in my life. You will reach a certain point and you will be so happy, even 25 pounds down. Then you get really motivated, almost addicted. I really focus on what I have done, not where I have to go. I have never thought like that before and I think that is why I failed. Now when I get frustrated, I go find something that weighs as much as I have lost and pick it up, carry it around for a while. That changed my mindset and off I go again.

    Good luck, and keep at it. Your right with one thing for sure, NO MORE EXCUSES!
