I don't know if those people are on diets or even if they look in a mirror, BUT, I do know, I really didn't like what I saw. What I did to help me was to picture one of those people and say a little 'prayer' about them (Lord, I don't want to look like that or Lord, help me be aware of what I eat so I lose, something like that) and I kept that picture in my mind. Sometimes it would work for me and I watched my diet - even in the restaurants, with so much going on. I really don't want to start gaining back what I've already lost. Now, if you are on the far side of where you want your weight to be, picture what you'd like to look like after losing all your extra weight - keep that in mind and between us both, it can be a Terrific or a Taboo week.
