What gets you motivated???!

Hi Ladies! I'm having some serious issues getting motivated to go back to the gym. Since the wedding, I've gained about 8 pounds, but I've also gone back on the pill since, so that's a good portion of it.

So what gets you girls motivated to diet and work out??

The summer, seeing people other than me motivated like my friends, old pictures of myself and warmer weather motivates me, this cold is killing my motivation!

The fat hanging over my jeans motivates me

I usually give myself super realistic short term goals. Either week to week, or for a month or something quickly attainable. So when I meet that goal, I can set another one and mee that.

This week I want to lose 1lb by working out 6 days and running at least 3 days. I will also not eat ice cream this week :)

I showed someone my proofs when I first got them and they were like 'oh I remember when I was skinny like that . . .' implying that after you get married you always gain weight .. . somehow this was enough motivation for me.
