My new motivation tool- Try it!

So, you know how when you are trying to lose weight...you sometimes get really annoyed because you feel like you have been working hard and ignoring chocolate for a while but not much seems to be happening? This happens to me often.

So, I have come up with a visual to help remind me that what I am doing does make a difference...though it might just be a small difference. But over-time each of those small differences will add up to something huge.



This is what I did-

I printed a photo of me now,



(Yikes! I know...why I am showing you this? Really embarrassing)

and stapled it on top of a photo of what I would like to look like

So, each time I exercise whether it's an intense work out video or just a walk around the block I take a small tear out of the top paper. And at the end of each day that I don't eat any sweets, I'll take another tear. (Eentsy Teensy tear I am talking here folks). But there is just something so motivating and satisfying about tearing up that embarrassing chubby top photo.

But, eventually the top chubby, celulitey, rolly photo will be torn away to reveal a hot new me underneath. And I imagine by then I should be looking something like this. ;-)
