I've lost 90 pounds. I don't share that to brag, but to encourage others who are trying to lose. I also remind myself that I lost that much so I don't lose my momentum. Knowing how far I've come keeps my diet mojo, or impetus, going. Here's what I mean.
People have said to me, "you have more willpower than me. I couldn't lose that much." I don't know if I have more willpower or more vested interest in continuing to diet. I have stronger reasons to stay on the wagon and see this thing out. These pictures show me in 2008 (left) and 2013 (right). Losing Weight is Diet Mojo in Itself
