Motivation!!

I know, I know...I have this information on here twice...once under Questions and now, here, under Motivation. I just wanted to make sure that anyone who was looking for Motivational Tips would be able to find them easily:) So, here you go, here's how I personally stay motivated! I hope this helps you, too:)



I tend to use a lot of visual things to motivate me. I find it's what works best for me! Some of these are:

1.) Going to http://www.myvirtualmodel.com  There you can print off a model of what you will look like at your Goal Weight. I have mine hanging on the front of the refrigerator! You can also take your model clothes shopping at different store sites listed there as well. It's a great pick-me-upper when you are having a bad day!:)

2.) I also picked up a scrap book and made my own personal Weight Loss Journal. I put some before and during pictures in it. I also record all of my weigh in's in it and my non scale victories as well. When a bad day hits, I cuddle up on the couch and flip through it. It really helps a lot:) I am always updating it lately, it seems!:)

3.) Then there's my Charm Bracelet - which is my very favorite form of visual mmotivation!! Each charm has it's own special meaning to me and each one represents a goal made or a special event. I wear it all the time. It's jingle serves as a constant reminder to me of what I have achieved so far!:)

4.) I also printed off "No Excuses" and have it hanging above my full length bedroom mirror. I read it every day before I walk out of the bedroom:) My "No More Excuses" Charm also helps me to remember this through out the day!:)

5.) And I visit the Newbies Posting Board at the Weight Watcher's Site a LOT!:) The great people there give me so much support, advise and encouragement! They have helped me get as far as I have!:)
