    I have motivational pictures I look at when I need a push to exercise or when I feel like eating a load of crap. It helps.

    I'd be a little wary of putting up pictures that made me feel bad amount myself though - if I saw myself in pictures I wasn't happy with, it would bring me down, and I'd be more likely to want to comfort eat.

    But everything is different and obviously very different things motivate us all differently, so if it helps motivate you - then great move! :)

    The OP's profile says shes training for a 1/2 and she's from Swansea just down the road from me, someone tried to rope me in to do the Cardiff 1/2 in October but I think thats a bit to soon for me :bigsmile:

    That would make me sad. I prefer positive motivation, not torturing myself. Maybe put a before and during? So you can see how far you've come and not want to ruin it? I think if I just put my before picture up it might make me feel guilty for eating at all, which is no good.

    I actually just loaded 3 pics of me when I was my ideal weight - on my phone... a place I would see them throughout the day. I remember that girl who stopped eating halfway thru JUST BECAUSE it was half. The girl who LOVED life- not the TV. The girl who adored shopping cause it ALL fit fabulously! Oh yeah- I'm the same girl INSIDE and will be her on the outside too! Good luck!

    Yes, im doing the Swansea Bay 10k but need to shed a lot more weight before i attempt a 1/2, my mate did Cardiff last year and hes advised against it this October but Llanelli have a 10mile in February, i think, so may attempt that

    I get this but I think positive reinforcement is better.

    Pics of you happy, thinspiration, pics of your family and what you stand to lose or miss out on if you don't work hard
