Picturing yourself at goal weight can actually backfire, because our minds are fascinatingly weird, but having a rival (even if unspoken)...now that's motivational.
Visualize yourself healthy - picture how you're going to look after you've lost weight. Use your imagination, really picture yourself - what are you going to look like, what will you be able to do now that you couldn't when there was more weight on your body? Picture the look on your face when you accomplish your goals, how happy you'll be, the smile and tears of joy! Now hold on to that and remember it daily, remind yourself WHY you are on this journey. Embrace these good feelings!
