Need some motivation!!

I told DH this weekend that I look like "the people of Walmart". Apparently he agrees. He did not say it but asked me if I wanted to get a haircut!

I lost all sense of style. I look like a total mess.

I need to lose 70 Lbs and need a total makeover.

Pity vent over!

god i so feel you right now! I need to loose about 30 lbs it was just so hard to even type that! I wake up everyday saying ok that is it....stick to the healty eating it starts off great...then by the end of the day things get ugly...I need to put the knife and fork down!

Re: Need some motivation!!

70 lbs? What? From where?

Sophie if you're not happy, that's one thing, but don't talk crazy

I am curious, what do you have in your closet? What do you normally wear? (When not in uniform )

ETA: I do agree that a haircut with a great style will make you look and feel better.

Re: Need some motivation!!

You so do not look like "the people of Walmart"!!!

You need to start doing things for yourself. I know it's really hard bc of your schedule, but it will make you feel better. Haircuts/color always make me feel better, so go for it! It's a small thing that can make a big difference!

I could have written the SAME. EXACT. THING!



I got my motivation this week when my sister told me that she set her wedding date for August 6th! 6 months to get my fat arse in gear.

Go get that hair cut and/or color you want. Buy a nice outfit or two. Then, take things one thing at a time. Change starts small. If your weekness is snacks, change that. Keeps healthy snacks around like carrots or cheese stciks with a handful of almonds.

If you don't eat breakfast, start with that. A bowl of oatmeal and some fruit. Cereal with skim milk. Whole wheat english muffin with low-sugar jam.

you can do it!!

Re: Need some motivation!!

I think it's more a matter of how you feel than how you look. You always look put together to me. Lately I have been telling DH that anytime he is home when I am getting ready to go anywhere, I would like to take a few extra minutes to myself to get ready. I didn't do that when DS was small and I always felt a little bit disheveled. I do not even think anyone can tell that I have started to do that but I feel better about how I look.

Re: Need some motivation!!

It starts with the clothes. i went shopping to fit THIS NEW BODY. I felt sp much better wearing clothes that fit versus my old clothes. So get a new haircut and buy something cute.

I know how you feel....

Re: Need some motivation!!

Thanks everyone!

I think as I gained weight I just bought clothes that were "casual", then Uggs, then Jeans. Now, all I wear is jeans with Uggs. Maybe I went "too" casual. Probably because of my size now.

I will go get a haircut. While I love my long hair, it just drags my all face/look down.

Thanks!
