Craft Project And Motivational Tool In One...

Hey there, my fellow pre-bandsters!
My final nutritionist appointment is tomorrow...I've been trying to lose what I can beforehand and am still considering whether lap band or other bariatric surgery is the answer for me, but I came upon this motivation tool and it really inspires me and helps me - so I wanted to pass it on to everyone else. Motivation is a key no matter where we are in the surgery process!
I went to the craft store and made myself some "Motivation Marbles" yesterday. LOL. Yes, I realize it sounds like I've lost my marbles...but look here and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about:
Princess Dianne's Motivation Marbles
Having these around has really helped me get my focus together. I see them first thing in the morning, they remind me of my goal as soon as I see them (and they make me smile because they're pretty!). And I love, love, love when I get to take a few out and drop 'em in the next jar.
If this sounds like it would work for you and help keep you motivated and focus post-band, maybe get the supplies you need from the craft store now so that you have it all at home while you're recovering! Anyway, for what it's worth...I hope it works for ya. It was a fun little craft project and I love mine!
