Personally speaking, I believe visual cues are essential in my success in losing weight so far. From day one, I started off with writing short term as well as long term goals on a piece of paper. So far, I've accomplished a number of them (in a timely fashion) and it just makes me happy crossing out each goal one by one after completion. Last night, I drove to the store to pick up a poster board to write down this month's goals. I'm trying my damndest to to "Push Through The 160s." Seeing a huge ass poster board hanging on the wall with my goals really allows me to focus.
I spent a good hour today just sifting through my wedding photos. I took a few and added them to my 160s poster. ( I also keep a lot of my older pictures around for added motivation. ) Sean saw my poster and said, "Damn, baby... that's a huge difference, but you're just as pretty as the first day we met." Gotta love a man who loves you through the "thick and thin." (haha fackin puns) I think it's funny... you know how people see photos of themselves when they're larger and they'll talk shit about themselves such as, "OMG. I look like shit." or "I was such a pig".. etc.. etc. I'm not like that. I love myself too damn much. If anything, I'll look at my pic and say, "That's right... you sexy ass fat girl.. work that shit." I'm too much of a conceited twat to ever talk shit on myself. hahaaa Give me a month or so and I'll post my wedding pix and recent pix for fun.

Notes: Making dinner was definitely youtube worthy. I was talking to Kimberly on yahoo (like usual) when I suddenly realized I didn't start dinner. (It was almost 6pm) I ended up blasting The Cure while dancing around my kitchen and forcing apples and onions into these little cornish hens. If I say so myself, it was pretty kinky "fingerbanging" cornish hens to "Friday I'm in Love." hahaaaa!
