What keeps you going?

    It's coming up to Friday evening and the weekend is my absolute and utter dangerzone when it comes to staying on the straight and narrow. I'm grand Monday to Friday but get a bit wobbly between walking out the door of work Friday evening and going to bed on Sunday. The 2 things that keep me on the straight and narrow (as much as possible!) are

    -a pair of size 18 jeans that I bought at Christmas that I had to beat myself into. I was seriously codding myself that I was still an 18, I was a 22 in trousers at least, and when I had them zipped up I couldn't breathe and I had about 2 stone of muffin top hanging over the top and (i'm going to spoiler this out so you don't have to read it if you don't have a strong stomach)
    a most spectacular case of camel toe
    I could only wear them with a dress over them and they looked particularly rotten and left deep red marks in my skin that I thought might actually bleed. My first goal with WW was to fit into them, and I got there after a while and now they're clown trousers on me :D I could shoplift a chicken in each leg. They're hanging in my wardrobe and keep me going in the face of unexpected cake, they're never getting thrown out.

    - photos. Part of what pushed me into losing weight was seeing a photo of myself, where I'd gone out for the night thinking I looked great, and I had rolls of fat everywhere. My back was unbeliveable, it was the first time I really saw myself in ages and realised that I wasn't just chubby anymore, I was obese. I have that photo at the front of my ww journal and nicer new photos at the back. I'm a divil for taking photos these days (I'm the pain in the arse one who when you go out won't put down the camera) and so I have albums set up on my picasa account with progress photos I can click through and see my shape change! Definitely helps me in crappier moments when I'm in bad form and the easiest way out of it seems to be chips. Or when progress just feels so so slow

    ah sounds like a good plan there! fellow WW goer myself since April this year. just within my goal now, and have been for the past month r so id say, but its the not sitting back and getting comfy with your progress now thats gets you to go on and get to the goal, learnt that now anyway! making a point of saying im going to be down to such and such weight by a certain time really focuses your mind on what u want! :)
