I've even surprised myself recently at how motivated and 'in the zone' I am when it comes to losing weight. If you haven't heard, although I may have mentioned it too many times to remember, I've lost 18lb since 29th December which is quite an achievement for a yo-yo dieter like me.
In the early days you don't always notice the changes to your body which is generally the point where I give up and hit the fridge like Pac-Man. The scales and tape measure may show the loss but if you can't see or feel it yourself then it just doesn't seem real. That's why I decided that this time I would make weight loss jars to help keep me focused.
The idea is to have a pot with pebbles, stones or pretty glass beads like these, to represent the pounds you want to lose. You then have a second container to move these across to when you have lost the weight. You should start to see one jar empty as the other fills up and having a visual like this in your home to look at regularly will remind you of how far you have already come just as you reach for the biscuits.
