Cosplay (commissioned it and asked them to make it slightly smaller), my goals, and the fact that I am extremely likely to get Diabetes.

My future. I know that sounds cheesy, but knowing that every smart choice that I make prepares my body for healthy children and allows me to live a longer life with my soon-to-be-husband!

Knowing that all of the effort and determination is to reach a goal that's just for me, a little gift to myself. Feeling pride and satisfaction in what I can do to make myself happy is enough motivation to keep on truckin'.

Being in pain when I move keeps me motivated. Losing weight is the only true remedy.

Being proud of the things I am doing right to lose weight and trying not to be so hard on myself when I mess up. Each day is a new day.

Reminding myself of something I did right (even if its just drinking 8 glasses of water) and that I am getting stronger and more motivated each day

Having other people support me, and encourage me. Knowing that they care about my happiness too is a great motivator.

Knowing that if I go back to the way I used to be I'm miserable and so are others around me.

Pictures and the mirror. They are not my friend.

My health has been the most pressing issue. Now it is defined as health/fitness. As my fitness improves I feel healthier even though I face the same conditions.

Health - I have seen some people in my family suffer because of weight and I do not want to get to that point.

I have to give two things- I want to be an inspiration to my daughter. And my other motivation is getting into my old size 27 pair of Bebe jeans.

I have my favorite pair of shorts hanging from my closet door in my room. I see them daily and know this is what I am working for. It will be 20-30 lbs before I can wear them... but it will be worth it once I am!

Things that motivate me include Ruby, The Biggest Loser (when they don't throw the weigh in) Too Fat for 15, Spark blogs for motivation and putting my own 2 positives onto any negative thoughts that I may have. I really want to accomplish my goals and last night I started working on my motivation poster, its not complete, but its a work in progress.

I always picture the end goal and realize that if I just follow the plan, that I will achieve that goal. I have to remind myself not to get lost in the details or each choice, I just have to follow the plan that I made for myself when I WASN'T feeling emotional and just follow it. With time and commitment, I will achieve my end goal :)

who or what keeps you inspired when times are hard, and you feel like giving up?
