I can honestly say that in all my life, i have never been so determined to accomplish something like i am now. That doesn't mean that i don't have difficult days and moments of weakness. My ultimate motivation is simply living a nice, long life with my husband and children. But to be completely honest, i can't wait to have more energy, to ditch my plus size clothes and shop in any store i want, and to live in a beautiful fit body. These are the things that i think about to help me through the weak moments.
In a few short weeks, Mark and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. So, currently my summer focus for motivation is the knowledge that in the fall, we will be going on a second honeymoon here:
That, my friends, is the tropical islands of Turks & Caicos. And, i am not taking this body with me. Oh no, no. I plan on packing very lightly and i don't mean my suitcase!!! Now, that's "thinspiration"!
As part of an assignment from the book that my group is reading, one of the things it tells you to do is find pictures of people (can be celebrity or non-celeb) that you find to be healthy and fit and then visualize yourself in their body. Amy, one of my friends in the group, who is a photoshop wiz, asked us to each send her our "celeb" inspiration, along with a head shot of ourselves. Oh my gosh, how fun is this?...
isn't that a hoot!!!!??? hahahaha! I laughed so hard when she sent that to me and then i made copies of it and keep one in my food journal and one near my computer. You are welcome for the giggle. heeelarious, but yet, totally motivating!!! So, who's your celeb wish look-alike? You know you have one...and right now you're trying to think who knows photoshop well enough to do this for you?!?! :-)
So, what lights your fire? What is it that can help you push the candy bowl aside or to say no to dessert or get you up off the couch to walk around the block? Find that motivation and no matter how silly it seems, use it!!!
That was goood! Good Luck on your journey, I'm sending your posts to my sister. In the mail. THINSPIRATION!
