When I need motivation, I just think how great it will be when I'm thin and healthy. Also, I like to make a list of reasons why I want to lose weight and look at it whenever I lose motivation. It really works! Try it! Hope I helped and good luck!

Hey! If you haven't already done so, you could try printing out the "pig-out" poster and put it on your pantry, refrigerator, etc. You get what i mean. Also, just think" a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!!" Just think of what that one piece of food will do to you...and then think...that's going to cause u 2 have 2 go and work it off! Good luck!

Hi melissa. I am 12 and i weigh abou 146 pounds. I no how t feels to weigh that much and i have gained weight gin on vacations and it is like impossible to gt it off. Every diet u tryis like eatinga whole chocolate cake.The point is when u go to an accasion where u tend not to watch what you eat just remind yourself of how much weight u gained last time you went to an accasion. And another thing i also no how it feels to be made fun of cause how fat u r, it really hurts but just remmber its not whats on the outside that counts it whats on the inside, and remember m thinking of you when ever someone makes fun of you and that your not alon in this overweight club of ours. lso remembr that wedefinatly will losse his weight and be proud of our selves. im thining of you!,
love chris

This is what you do. You think of a guy you really like. Now you exercise and think he'll like me if i am skinnier. If he is a real guy he wont think that but it is good for you to think that. worked for me
