How do YOU stay motivated?

OK, to be honest, this is the point where I usually flake out and just give up. I have had this same 10 pounds to lose for 2 or 3 years now. And, since it's only 10 pounds, people usually tell me "you look fine, don't worry about it."

The thing is, when your weight creeps up over the years, you don't want to wait 'till it gets so difficult that you always give up, or need an even longer and more difficult plan.

So here I am, only 10 pounds too high, I am giving up. Please don't let me give up. Please help me out. Why do I do this to myself? It has been 3 weeks. I shouldn't see much change, because if I lost more than 1-3 pounds right now, I'd just yo-yo back.

But, it has been 3 weeks and I want to see more results than I am seeing. That is unrealistic for me right now. How do I keep myself motivated when I am aiming to lose a half pound or less per week--only 1-2 pounds per month?

(In the past, I have been able to lose it faster, but it comes back. I figured, this way, I'd have a new lifestyle after 10 months, and I'd just stay the "right" weight by doing the same plan, which would feel "normal" by then.)


Any ideas to renew my weight loss challenge so I feel like I do at the start?
