I finally made a sign for myself - in colors - with clip art - saying "TRULY" (in green) "No More Candy" (in black) "Do this for youself" (in blue) and "LOVE YOURSELF" (in big red letters) with pictures of the Willendorf Goddess, Aphrodite, and hearts around the "LOVE YOURSELF" - then underneath, I pinned up pictures of me when I weighed 315 pounds as reminders.
