For me, telling somebody I'm losing weight motivates me. I told my friend that I was trying to lose weight and she's been a great motivator. She's helped remind me that that package of skittles I want at the vending machine isn't neccesary and she askes if I exercised. A couple times we've even gone walking together just to get out. Tell somebody who you know won't discourage you and will help you achieve your goal. I told my mom I was trying to lose weight and she doesn't believe I can do it. She wants me to take diet pills or the HCG diet and I just want to do it the natural way so for hte rest of my life I can really know how to eat healthy and exercise.
Just tell someone you trust, okay?
