As for motivation...
This is the first time I've been really successful with loosing weight, and I've been 'dieting' for almost ever. The thing that really motivated me was that my fiance's older brother's fiance (god, what a mouthfull) was on Jenny Craig and lost about 20 lbs. She looked awesome (she's about 5'2 I think so that much weight off of her frame looked amazing), and I got pretty jealous when my fiance told me she looked slimmer.
I think that's most likely the pettiest reason in the world to be a healthier person, but it's been the best motivation I could ask for.
That was months ago though, and I think now my motiviation is to reach my goal because I now know it's possible through a healthy diet and exercise. I think I just want to prove myself right (and be able to say I lost 50 lbs!). |
It really doesnt matter what got you started as long as you got started. But you really truely need to think of this as a lifestyle change other then a "diet". I have found that the word "diet" all by it self can cause one to think they are depriving their selves. And that leads to cheating and so on and so forth.
But if you make a comitment to a lifestyle change its works different. Because the truth of the matter is when you lose the weight you still cant go back to old eating habits and keep it off you have to follow what is called a maintience plan to keep your weight steady and healthy.
