Today I uploaded the picture of my trousers - these trousers didn't fit me a few weeks back, and now they do - this excited me (obviously) so I posted the pic. Someone from work who is also on Instragram commented "gee me some of your motivation!"
This made me think...I'm always looking for motivation, I've created motivation through my Instagram feeds. I also created my own motivation at home. As well as putting together "fat photos!" with motivational slogans to keep me fingers out of the cookie jar! But when my friend asked me to give her some of my motivation...I really struggled!How do people motivate others? How am I actually motivated?
I've thought about this before and I know that visual ques are important for me, which is why I decided to put up the photos, and why I find sites such as Instagram so invaluable to my weight loss. Most of these sites are people who are fit - pics of their bodies, pics of their tips, pics of their transformations.
Blogging is another, I find it a really good way to let off steam and celebrate my victories. I noticed that my quantity of blogs certainly drop during the times where I am not being terribly good - and that is something I need to change. But I suppose what is more important is that I always come back, I always admit my faults, and I always start again. What I can't be bothered doing is starting again anymore. This time feels different, it feels like life...
So I think that the best thing to motivate others is to do the best that I can, be a success story, keep posting the photos and the tips, keep learning. One day maybe someone will put their face on my body, because that would be the ultimate motivation!
