I’ve written a list of “goals” and “rules” for myself, both pertaining to my study habits and weight loss. It’s in big font and hangs above my bed and near my desk. I don’t care how dorky it looks.
One of the things is that I need to lose weight because I have PCOS. On the list, I put up a picture of a really obese women (found it on the net) and I wrote “If you don’t want to look like this, don’t eat sweets and go to the gym 1x a day!” I also wrote “You don’t want diabetes and have your feet fall off, do you?” ... I know it’s kind of weird, but man, it really helps as a reminder! It’s always in my face…I can’t ignore it!
