I stand in front of the mirror and see what I don’t want to keep any more.
I ask my sweetie to remind me that I want to loose some weight and that I would need to stop eating something bad.
Of course there is SEX! You have to talk to your partner to remind you that you want sex and that you want to try that one new thing…
I also love certain types of clothes, so I want then to fit me as well.
Then there are my family members who struggle with weight, I look at then and how unhappy they are, I dont want to get there.
I then think of my health (I know my priorities are a bit out of sequence but this is just me), I sometimes feel after a swim, bike ride, or just walking I feel drained, I know if i was healthier this would not happen.
I also see other overweight people, I know I do not want to look like them, getting stared and made fun of as well.
It really makes me feel sad, so when we go out I make sure I drink a tall glass of water and order a larger salad but for eating anything else.
It also helps if your family is supportive, if not them a group of friends or your partner, if you can not afford a weight support group like weight watchers.

Once I got to the point of not drinking soda (sugar-filled drinks), junk food or candy, I found that I lost the desire to eat it again.

I hope this helps! God Bless!

It’s soooo easy to be thin.

All you have to do is eat foods that are low fat exclusively such as chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, rice, potatos sushi, low fat soups etc…anything fat free.

Then work out and you will be thin. It’s very easy.

Motivate yourself by seeing yourself thin and how great that will feel. You have one life to live why walk around being fat and not feeling good?

Don’t eat anything fattening ever and work out and you will look and feel great. It’s actually really really simple.

Food companies and the media try to confuse you to keep you buying fattening products and keep your dependent on weight loss services. Be smart about it.

Trying on swim suits at the store with the awful lights and the
3 way mirror! And the smaller the number on the scale, the better I like it. Get a scale that measures in tenths of a pound,
so even a little loss feels like a vistory!

my family history is my motivation. I see where my parents are at now … and realizing that growing up they didn’t make the right food chioces. I had to unlearn alll the bad habits from childhood. I’m still struggling, but moderation and knowing that portion control is key. And alternative cooking. Weight watchers has some of the greatest tricks for you to have the cake and eat it too (only a 1/4 of what you would have eaten), but with less fat and calories!

When I look in the mirror, I compare myself to some of the good looking actors. My incentive is to look good, so I have to keep going. I also like compliments from friends and family. It's my reward for keeping healthy.

new clothes and feeling good about myself are my main motivators. I’m never good 100% of the time. I cheat sometimes I think that even the strictest of diets should include a adequately portioned treat now and then.
