Need some serious motivation!

I need to find some motivation from somewhere to start exercising and eating better. None of my old clothes fit and I've been living in my yoga pants and a few shirts over and over because most of the maternity clothes will probably make me look like I'm still pregnant. I'm only 10 lbs away from prepregnancy weight but my stomach is definitely a lot flabbier and I really need to lose around 50 lbs to be around my perfect weight. UGH I just feel so blah. I felt soo good and confident during pregnancy and now I feel BLAH! I guess that's the pregnancy glow, huh? Anyone else having problems with motivation??

Re: Need some serious motivation!
I got lazy because I dropped all the weight so quickly, and now the scale has creeped back up a couple pounds. I am only 7-8lbs from my ideal weight (though I lost 40lbs before getting pregnant) but it seems more like 27 pounds.
I need to be better about eating LESS. That is my cryptonite.
Yep! I am also only 10 pounds away from my PP weight, but my stomach is super flabby!
I have tried to cut back on the super snacking and told DH to stop buying sodas! He thought he was being sweet and bringing back a regular pack of coke (in addition to his diet coke), but that was bad news. I am trying to go back to my pregnancy snacking-much more healthy foods.
I felt so horrible towards the end of my pregnancy since I had gained 50 pounds. I have lost 42 but need to lose like 30 more to be at my ideal weight. The scale tends to be my motviation. Once I see it coming off, I feel great. I run 2 miles on the treadmill everyday, no excuses. I enjoy it because that is my time. My DH watches DS while I work out. I listen to music and just worry about me for that time. All of my old clothes are fitting great, and people are telling me there is no way I had a baby just 3 months ago. All great motivation for me to keep going. I am also doing weight watchers online which really works. Good luck!
