Hi guys, I just thought I would share this little motivator with you that my boyfriend learnt in sales training..

Try not to use sentences like "I will be thin" as it's very easy for that little voice in your head to say "no you won't"...

...instead replace this sentence with things like "i love the feeling of fitting into my old clothes" or "I love the feeling of being able to run around with my kids" etc.
This sentence works better to motivate you because you know it's true.


I just thought it would be good for everyone to say a sentence that "You love the feeling of... ?" to motivate us.

I'll start..

I love the feeling of being thin and fit and being able to go shopping and find my size with ease.

I love knowing that the food I'm putting in my body is good for me, not just to help me lose weight, but to keep me healthy.

I love the feeling of accomplishment when I log in my daily activity on CC.

Mostly, I love knowing that even though my boyfriend loves me exactly the way I am right now, he's incredibly supportive of my weight loss goals-- so much that he's decided to start working out and eating healthier himself!
