Hi trishki:
I am trying to think what really got me motivated to start eating better. I would like to say that I was just tired of being fat, but that wasn't really it. I think that the first thing that helped me was working out. I use to work out all of the time but started dating my now husband and .....whoomp...I'm fat! Now that I've gotten into working out again, I realized how much I missed it. I think once you start working out, your thinking changes. When you work out, you are trying to improve your level of fitness, your health or lose weight. You are trying to improve yourself and I think it sorta migrates over to your eating habits. Work out consistently and I think you will be forced to evaluate your eating habits, especially if you are not getting the results that you feel you should be.
Another thing that I do is visualize how much better I will look when I get to my goal. I just want to be the weight on my drivers license. I haven't changed it since I was 18.
