What keeps you motivated?

It's Saturday..I have 6 days in a row of work ahead of me..Today is one of my only days off and I do not want to work out..Not even a little. I go to the fridge to get something to eat, anything..And I see the pic I put on the fridge..AH HA! There is my motivation! Thank goodness it was staring me in the face. Skinny me circa 2002. Oh how I miss her lol.

So I don't eat a tub of butter and I move on. And at some point this afternoon I will get up and work out. I never would have been able to do this without a little motivation here and there. My friend Sherri had a baby this spring. She dropped a lot of that baby weight pretty quick. Without knowing it, Sherri was some motivation for me. Gave me a tad of a competitive edge when she started working out too. I get to shop in normal stores again, not the "plus size" ones. That motivates me. My debit card has my picture on it from my bigger days..Everyday I see that, it motivates me. The people in my life telling me that they are proud of me, that motivates me.

So when you get started on this weight loss journey, find some motivation..It'll push you harder =)
