Has anyone does this as motivation?

and has it worked?

Printing pics of yourself; ones that when you first look you're like, OMG I need to lose some weight


I'm currently printing some pics that I look horrific in...maybe it will motivate me to think twice before eating something

Re: Has anyone does this as motivation?

Definitely! Actually it helps more now that I've lost the weight because you tend to forget what you looked like or what it felt like. Check my weight loss album for the gory details

Re: Has anyone does this as motivation?

Wow, thanks! Your pics are AMAZING!

Re: Has anyone does this as motivation?

I had one in my wallet that somehow moved behind other things and I forgot about it.. so YESTERDAY I saw it and moved it right to the front!


Good Luck!!

Re: Has anyone does this as motivation?

I've been thinking about doing this but only wearing a bra and panties in the pic. Because although I have bad pics of myself, if you're anything like me, when there's a lot of skin showing, it's like a slap in the face.

Of course, I wouldn't publicize the pics. I'm really not sure if it would motivate me or just discourage me!

I got to a good weight for my wedding 3 years ago so what I might do is put my best pic of the weight I was then next to my heaviest... That's a 55 pound difference.
