well i used to be like that ill be like well ill start tomorrow well ill do it tomorrow but each day i said tomorrow i was gaining and then i just gained and now im stuck with losing a lot of weight and its just that push and once you start its not so hard anymore i started to think about that i could die from fatness or i could get sick and or my heart would fail because of all the bad fats and diabetes but kat has a good idea in starting a livejournal i got a paper notebook and i wrote down what i ate my goal weight i put a picture of myself and under it i put before and when im done im putting an after picture i cut up my favorite stars from magazines that had great bodies and put them in there so everytime i want to eat something i look at the book and i say no i want my body to be like that in the book i also put how many calories and every single thing i ate i put like dividers like one said journal of how i am doing the other said pictures then other one said calories so you could do that when i do it i always think that i have to write down what i eat and i want what i write down to be good things so i enjoy making it pretty and stuff

well it took a while to get started for me i kept telling myself i would start and then id totally binge so one morning im just like enough i begin today and made a life of things that'll motivate me I got something like 55 reasons and started a livejournal and write everything i ate and my exercise in a book so if i eat bad its like a double whammy + it'll help to know what you're eating. my motivators went anywhere from feeling good about myself to looking hot in a pair of jeans or wearing short shorts and tank tops in the summer. =) hope that helped. good luck!! you can do it!
