What motivates you?

Lately I've been motivated by the reality of two things:

A) Even though you've bounced back, you've lost 15lbs back and can do the rest

B) You've done this before. You lost 80% of your excess weight and glimpsed at a number you'd be comfortable staying at

I guess for me it's about recognizing the accomplishments I have under my belt. So that when I see a yucky number on the scale, I know its part of a larger story, a winning story.

Excellent point. And getting any bounce back weight off is monumental!

I'm going to have to focus more on the weight I've lost than on the weight I can't seem to get off. What I've done so far was totally beyond my dreams before my surgery - I need to rejoice in that win more often.

Hmm...I'm motivated by success in small steps towards a goad.

I'm motivated my my exercise and how it is enabling me to handle the stress lately with all the changes. There have been times I have thought I wasn't going to Zumba or whatever and have decided I had to in order to keep the anxiety at bay. I think at this point it is exercise or take medication and exercise is winning.
