Whats Keeping You Going?

[nalasmom 14]

This is currently my daily motivation. The dotted line is the projected weight loss progress someone without VSG would probably have if they were dieting and working out. The solid line is my actual progress. I've got to say, im very happy. There are you few setbacks however, such as the other day I only lost 0.3 lbs and since yesterday I lost 1.2 lbs. i know im not supposed to weight myself everyday but im an inpatient person. Im still on liquids so im excited to see how ill progress once i can have soft foods bc im sorry, Protein Shakes are disgusting and i love fish, mostly sashimi. Also, I bought a hot pink sketchbook and put pictures of HEALTHY bodies from workout magazines, and clothes that i have never been able to fit (so excited), and Im going to use it as a journal to get me psychologically ready, as ready as can be with other ancillary program, for the weightloss. I also put motivational before and after pictures of women from the magazines too. Not the famous people, real people, real women:)

All in all, im very proud of myself:) Im endeavor to be an inspiration to my mom and dad to finally eat right and workout bc i want them around as long as God will allow:)

How about you guys?

I really, really love your idea of the notebook! I just might have to steal this idea from you. I stay motivated simply by watching the scale move down, and the daily changes I see in how I feel, move, and that I've already been taken off all medication! Its liberating to not be taking blood pressure medication!! Right now, I'm in a stall. Stupid stall. I'm 3 pounds from the 50 pound mark. My NUT just changed up my eating, and I'm starting to kick the workouts in to the next gear, so hopefully that 50 pound mark happens this week!!

I'm like you... I sneak on the scale mid-week sometimes, even though I declared my weight in day to be Saturdays. Heh. I stay in check though, if I don't lose, it doens't depress me like it would have pre-vsg. I know it'll move down again.
