Does/did anyone do this? If so, do you keep a current to remind you how you don't want to be, or a goal pic to remind you where you can be?

ETA: Heck, post up your fridge pic here if you wanna!

    No, but I might take this idea... I took my first progress pics in the nude.... and I wouldn't want family seeing that on the fridge when they came over! I'm so ditsy I'd forget to take it down before company.. Lmfao.

    I keep a journal. I track my weight and measurements in ,set goals, and just vent. It has really horrible things i wrote in it and really great things. When i feel discouraged or frustrated i go back and read some of my entries from back when i started to remind me of how far i have come and where i want to be. Im not that negative person anymore and i dont want to revert back to bad habits.

    I like that idea too, as well as the positive note thing above.

    Although, the note thing would be hard for me because I'm such a self loather. I wouldn't believe it when I read it. A pic of happier, healthier times indicates that it's for sure possible to accomplish and I've done it before.

    I did this for a while after I reached my goal weight a couple of years ago. I posted side-by-side pics of me at my heaviest and at my goal weight and captioned it "it's your choice." This worked great for a while. Then I was having someone over so I took it down and it didn't get put back up again. Also, after awhile I got so used to seeing it that it didn't really "register" any more.
