What inspires you?

I pulled out my favorite dress from the closet last night with the great idea to use it as inspiration. Big mistake. It's an 11/12. Currently I'm a 22. I don't remember being that small (10 years ago). Instead of an inspiration it feels more like a reminder of what I'll never be.

When I was on my big get my health back push, (not weight loss but health which includes weight) A picture of when I was slender, supple and really active helped. I focused not on what I wasn't but on how it felt when I was at a healthier place in my life, the energy and the ease of movement I had. When I put myself there mentally I was able to do more.

I have yo-yo dieted many times over the years, always reaching that plateau and never being able to cross over it. About 2 weeks ago, my husband suffered a minor heart attack and that was just the inspiration that he and I both needed to get off our butts and do something.

We both know it's not going to be easy but we have each other and are prepared to follow through with what we HAVE to do to in order to stick around this mortal plain.

Looking at skinny celebs in the magazines in bikinis inspires me
