I was just banded thin past Friday and I am finding that feeling hungry every so often. I am sure I will feel this way on and off for the next several weeks. So I have decided to focus on what will inspire me to keep motivated the next several weeks. First and foremost it is living a longer healthier life with my daughter, being more physically with my daughter, not feeling embarrassed every time I leave the house and finally, looking hot again!! I also went and picked up a Vogue magazine this afternoon. I in no way wish to as thin as those models but it reminds me that I have to stay motivated and focused on the long term goal! So, what inspires you?!!!

I inspire myself!! I see what I have done so far and can't wait to see how much more I can do. I feel like I got a second chance at life.

What inspires me to keep going? My success thus far keeps me going day to day. I look at the clothes I can wear.. about how great it feels not to sweat walking from the garage in my office building up to the elevator.....How my waist is the same size as several young women in my office.... The list goes on forever.

My original inspiration was my health, my spouse, my daughters and granddaughter who was in utero when I was banded. She is now 16 months old! And I have all the energy to be the fun grandmother I always wanted to be!
