What to do to keep motivated???

I am at the stage where I am only 6lbs from the origional goal that I set.....problem is that I have been 6lb off for about 3 months now.

Thing is I am quite happy with the way that I look/feel, I exercise 3-4 times a week, do about an hour of cardio and 1/2 to an hour of resistence and I wear a very comfortable US size 8.

I just cant seem to motivate myself to that final push, but I know that I will be even happier if I were to lose another 14lb ( I set my origional goal quite high) but then I am looking better than I have in years.

I have a tribe of munchkins, so keeping the house treat free would cause an anarchy type uprising, but my are those chips tempting.........

I am also considering more PS, mainly lipo to sculpt my shape more and possibly a breast lift/implant (if I can get over my morbid fear of one of my nips dropping off) but I know that in a way I am 'cheating' as I will just get the bits that I want improving sucked out. Saying that I know that more weightloss wont give me the shape that I want......... lord I just go round a circles on this one....

How can I kick myself in the ass???

I was there a couple of months ago.

I had booked my PS, and was 25 pounds from goal. The surgeon told me that I could get a TT at that weight and get good results.

I really wanted to be closer to goal at the time of PS.

I told everyone that I know that I needed an "ass kicking". I got heart rate monitor, and wore it during cardio. I made sure that I was working out hard at about 85% of capacity. I also started running.

I lost 16 pounds in 3 months.

The heart rate monitor really makes a difference. I realized that I didnt have to work out any more, I just needed to work out a LOT harder.

I am 9 pounds away from goal right now. I just had a TT so I cannot exercise for a few more weeks, and I am unfilled for 6 weeks.

When I am recovered from surgery, I will need a very good "ass kicking" also.

Good Luck.
