Well, I have 2 motivators.
1. I want to live a long life. I basically outlined all of that in this post.
2. I never want to go back to this:
Yes, that's me back in 2004. Those were my favorite, favorite pair of jeans. I think they were a size 20 (or maybe 18). I still have those jeans and they are my motivation. Though I loved wearing those jeans, I never want to fit into them again. I keep them in my closet so that I see them each time I go in there. I see them catching dust and not being lovingly worn like my other jeans, pants, skirts, etc. They are just hanging out with nowhere to go, and that's the way I want to keep it!

I love your motivation! Y'know I don't even HAVE any photos of me at my heaviest cos I was so upset by my looks. But I do have some clothes that are too big and I feel the same way about them that you do about your jeans :)
You are so awesome!!! Unfortunately almost all my clothes I have still fit, but I think as I get smaller and the clothes will get bigger, I too will keep that one thing...it will remind me where I was and where I never want to be again!! Great post!
@Mandy - I have plenty of photos of me at my heaviest. I think because I didn't necessarily see myself as that heavy. In hindsight, I was. I was overweight (hmmm...that sounds like another blog post). Anywho, I'm not there anymore and I want to continue along the same vein that I am at the present.
@TeeTee_71 - In due time your clothes will become more and more loose. It was never my intention to keep one item, but I did and I'm glad I did! Whenever I would drop a size, I wouldn't let those bigger clothes go immediately (I guess it was fear that I wouldn't keep the weight off). Eventually, I did get rid of the larger size though - determined to never go back.
Great, great motivators, thanks for sharing them with me.
