When I started to loose weight I said i was going to reward myself with a supercharger for my Camaro. Now I have lost 21 pounds and have 12 to go to reach my 175lb. goal (43 year old male). My reward is being able to wear clothes I haven't been able to in several years. Another benefit is not having to take antacids every day because I overstuffed my pie hole. And the best benefit of all is knowing I'm improving my health. Exercise is a must also. The best motivation I had was watching my obese father sit in a wheel chair for the last 3 years of his life due to diabetes and congestive heart failure. She needs to look at the big picture. She will feel weak and want to give up for the first 2 weeks but it gets easier after that. I downloaded a calorie counter on my droid called fatsecret. I became obsessed counting calories, it is actually fun to watch what you eat. I figured I went from eating up to 6000 calories a day to now eating 1700 on average a day. I have extraordinary determination though, I quit smoking 3 packs a day cold turkey 15 years ago. By the way, I probably won't get the supercharger.
