I know many of you have things to keep you motivated. Some of you have incentives, or visuals to remind you of your journey. I decided that I would like to have a little reminder of where I am headed, and where I have been.
This is my little marble monitor. With each pound I lose I get to add a marble. I have added lines for every 10 lbs. I made this around a month ago and I haven’t been able to add any marbles. I haven’t really lost any weight. My efforts have slowed down and so has my loss. I look forward to a full vase!
What are you doing to keep your motivation rolling?
THAT IS GENIUS!!! I love the visual aspect, and how people can pick various colors for various milestones--like when one stops being obese, Onederland, etc. Cool. Liking it!
ReplyDeleteFor me, the only visual stuff I've done is the pics on my blog...nothing in my house. BUT...I wish I HAD thought of that before.
Maybe you could come up with a visual to remind you where you have been and where you will never be again. Like an old piece of clothing or a photo from a special time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, I love it! Right now, I have a wall of post-its inside my closet door that count down to my mini goals. I've been working on this current wall since September. Every time I lose a pound, the post it with the corresponding number comes off. I've taken off twenty of those post-its in the last three months, and I have until December 10th to take off the rest. I'm not sure if I can completely reach my goal, but the nice thing about goals is that they can adapt and change.
ReplyDeleteThe only visual I have is my "fat picture" and it's only for my eyes to see. Disgusting!
ReplyDeleteI just have my dress that's been telling me it's there waiting. It's been waiting since last April (or really since 1980). I just donated the last of my really fat clothes, I needed hangers and no since in really keeping them because I'm never going back there. I wish I had planned ahead when I started this journey. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteTake care and God Bless!!
Oh by the way, love your cute little butt in your new to you jeans!! :o)
