What motivates you?

Is there anything specific that motivates you, or keeps you motivated? I go through spurts..usually I do good for about 3 or 4 days, then once I eat 1 bad thing, or have 1 bad day, I "dont care" about losing weight for a week or so, then do the same thing over again. The thing that usually motivates me might seem stupid and superficial, but its clothes, lol. I used to be really trendy, and now I am limited to what I can wear and where I can shop. I think that is the 1 thing that bothers me the most. I went shopping today for work, and it completely depressed me. I couldnt find anything I liked in my size except some plain black pants. Ugh! Even maternity clothes are more fashionable than plus size.

There are a few things that motivate me....clothes being one, seeing myself naked (yuck!), being around people like you fine folks who also share this common goal and remembering how I looked when I was 165.

>>>Another thing motivating me is the hope of getting engaged soon (for those who've been around a few years- no, we're still not engaged, and yes, silly me sits waiting hehe)
