NWR: Found my motivation to lose weight!!

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to share with you a recent incident that has REALLY motivated me to lose weight. FH sent me some pics from this past Easter. Ladies, I was shocked at how horrible and awful I looked in multiple pictures. Some were more close up than others. I looked much, much, much older than I really am and hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Trust me me avatar pic is nothing compared to how I look now!!!

Anyways, I printed out a few pics and put it around my apt and on my fridge. I also started carrying a pic of me in my wallet, so when I go food shopping or go out to lunch w/ friends, I know I need to keep myself in check!! I just wanted to share my tactic and help anyone else in my situation. I can't walk up a flight of stairs anymore without feeling out of breath. Also, having problems with my thyroid isn't helping either!!!

Thanks for listening ladies.

date twinny! you can do it!!! try weight watchers and STICK WITH IT!!! it really is great...week 3 and I am loving it. plus i'm walking either every morning or every night just to the end of the road and back....and i can't makeit up stairs without being out of breath either. but ww is great. it makes you accountable b/c you have to go every week to weigh in. teaches you really what is healthy and what is not!

DATE TWIN!!! You are sooo right the key is to do the WW and stick to it!!! Don't worry, I picked the book up AGAIN and this time- I'm not leaving its side!!!

Do you stop eating after a certain hour? 8pm is my cut off time. I've been contemplating taking diet pills, but I know that's the worst thing to do!!

good luck!!!.....ur fh is going to see ur face everywhere haha, he's gonna think ur watching him, evrerywhere he turns is ur face

You gave me a great idea- I'm sticking a pic of me in the bthrm too!!!! hahaha- he's really going to love that one!!!

He's so sweet- he compliments me and tells me nothings wrong with me and I'm beautiful- yada, yada!!
I tell him that he is biased and cannot see how I look because he's in love with me!! Love is blind!!! lol.

GOoD lUck you can do it!!! thats a good tip

great idea but let it only inspire you and not make you feel down

:)

I was actually considering a weekly photo diary where I would take a non-sexy photo of me in my underwear to see my progress.

Another tip- don't keep weighing yourself!! I just did and it only pissed me off even more!
Granted I have only truly been dieting these past two days, but I would realllllly like to know how I gained 4 pounds!!!!

This is realllllllly pissing me off!!! Sorry Ladies. I feel like I keep complaining about this so much. It's been the only thing I have been thinking about these past two/three weeks.

Aw don't feel bad, I weighed myself after a day of eating sweets and cookies on Easter and I was up 8 lbs. I don't know how it happened, but I managed to lose 4 of the lbs so far. My body is crazy with its ups and downs...
I will definitely be more careful this time of year in 2011!
