Vision Boards

I'm sure this is a thoroughly recycled idea, but I just read about it in some fitness magazine a couple days ago...

I want to create a vision board to serve as inspiration as I start to hit some tougher times in my weight loss journey...
vision boards include "before", "in between" and "after" pictures, pictures of your ideal body, inspiring quotes, your favorite exercises, your weight-loss secrets, favorite healthy snacks/meals, etc...
really, anything that motivates you to stick your convictions and become your healthiest self.

I thought it would be cool, if anyone is interested, to have people create a vision board, and post it up for other users to see.

I'm gonna start on mine today; should be fun!
 
I think thats a really good idea! I dont know if I would post it on here but I think I would do it and keep it at home. Stare at it when im running on the tredmill!!
 
Yeah, it's a good idea, but how is it different from keeping a weight loss diary?
...
Unless you mean like a weight loss scrapbook?
 
:O sounds like a scrapbook! Orrr one of those boards you can hang on the wall and stick stuff in! *runs off to the craft store*
 
The idea with a vision board is to create images of what it is that you want in your future...and then put them somewhere where you will see them every day.
On a wall.... on your computer screen.... on your fridge!

The thinking is that it focuses the mind, both consciously and subconsciously on "this is what I want".
(As opposed to focusing on what we don't want).
It can only help, right?
 
I'm awful; I still have to start mine!
I hope to get it posted when it's finished, though, so people have a better idea.

Not a scrapbook... just sort of a decorative board big enough to see every day and provide some incentive to work towards being your healthiest and best self!
 
There is an entire thread with some great motivational quotes/affirmations being posted by Cate.
These may be helpful to you.
Perhaps somebody knows how to create a direct link to this?
 
Cheers, I have a way to go but this site has been the difference in getting me off on the right foot this time!
