    I like to look at pictures of dersses or bikinis online that will look so much nicer on me when I have lost the weight :)

    I took photos of myself in what was a great fitting dress each month, and it shows my hard work in action, it's more real that way than what's on the scales.

    I've also been rewarding myself when I reach a goal (make up or books), and have an A4 piece of paper with what goal I just reached on my bedroom door, and what goal I need to get to now, keeps me focused on getting down a kg now and ignores the big scary task of getting down the 20 I need. Also, it's on the outside of my bedroom door so other people can see, and that keeps me on the straight and narrow most of the time :)

    You should try to get hold of the Paul McKenna books or DVDs. I use them all the time and they are great for motivating you. Plus its not a diet either, just a case of reprogramming your mind to eat less but eat what you like. Ideal if you want to lose a few pounds permanelty.

    good luck!
