I have a brilliant idea....but does it make me crazy?

I'm sure you've heard of this concept before...inspiration or dream boards. Essentially, I'd create a poster board full of ideas and concepts and pictures all in support of my goal to lose weight.

Just to start, I'd put up pics of outfits I wish I could fit into, maybe a pic of a skinny bride because I'd like to be thin if my boyfriend and I ever get there. I'd put of inspirational quotes. And surely pics of fit women doing adventurous things.

**** maybe I should put up something about finances and work....no, must stay focused.

What do you think? Am I crazy to try this? ....a board hung up in my kitchen in my tiny apartment?

I REALLY appreciate advice and/or additional ideas. I just feel like my focus on getting well starts from scratch everyday. Maybe having a board will help me jumpstart to the gym or some place where I've already gotten past the guilt and shame.

Not crazy at all. I have been known to put up post it notes on the bathroom mirror or the door of the frig with positive messages. I think a dream board would be amazing.

I think it could be multi faceted to improve or dream upon what ever is on your mind!

I think it sounds good too. I think I'll start with weight loss and then try some other aspirations.

Thanks for your input.

I think its a great idea and id add finances and work it's your dream after all! When you see your dream,goal,ambition it can motivate you in all the areas you want to work on! Go for it!

Thank you. If I can get to the store today, I'm buying a board.

I did this when I quit smoking.  Put up colorful cue cards on the bathroom mirror, on the back of the doors, in my car, at my desk - every where.   And each week I put another skicker on each card to show my progress (to myself).  It was a possitive reminder (a million times a day) why I was doing this and why it was so important to stay the course. 

Great idea. 

I LOVE that idea!!!

whatever works, use.  If you think it will motivate you, do it.  I have several of my big ribbons (multicolored, championship, long streamers) hanging around my office space and home.  They are a reminder of what it takes to win those and what I have to do if I want more.  Same difference.

You're right, it's the same thing

Absolutely!  When you have finished it, take a picture and post here.  I'm sure it will be an inspiration for many others!!
