My Inspiration Picture

I've picked out a picture to serve as my inspiration for my weight loss endeavor. This is me in the spring of '02:
I'm not sure exactly how much I weighed in this photo (it wasn't 168, that's for sure!), but I like the way I look in it: healthy, happy, and beautiful. So this will be the picture I look at to remind me of what I'm striving for. I know a lot of people choose their most embarassing fat pictures to motivate them to exercise and eat right, but my fat pictures just depress me and make me want to curl up and hide. It seems negative reinforcement doesn't work for me. I'm going to print out this picture and put it up in a place where I'll see it everyday. When I want that cookie, or that second serving, or I don't feel like exercising, I'll look at this picture and remember that my efforts are worthwhile.
