in Motivation and Support
For any of you who are like me and need lots of motivation. I have 3 kids and tend to bribe them (probably too much), so I decided to bribe myself! Here is the plan... I got a mason jar and decorated it cute, and put a slot in the top. Oh and I also hot glued the lid on, so there is no temptation to take out the money! I am going to put $1/pound up until 10 pounds and then put $10 in the jar...I will follow this through the 20's, 30's and 40's. And then when I get to 50 I will put a $50 bill in! And then keep going until I lose all 80 pounds! When I do this I should have around $192 in my skinny jean jar...which should be enough to go and get my OWN skinny jeans that I will look great in!
