10/7/08...what motivates? Such a simple question but it's also very complicated. In different situations, I'm motivated by different things. Right now here on SP, my motivation is to have my clothes fit better and to be able to walk into a store and reach for the smaller size. I'm also motivated by the number on the scale which I know isn't the best tool to use when trying to drop pounds. Such simple things in theory but why are they so difficult to put into practice?
