Weight loss, the never ending struggle

So, anyone that has read my blog knows that I've struggled with my weight over the years. I've lost 50 lbs, gained it back. Lost it again, gained it back. Again.  I've started over and over again only to lose 10lbs and give up. I am happy to report I have lost 17lbs! The only thing is, it's taken me, like, forever. (Well, 5 months but it feels like forever!) My dear, sweet husband is always looking for ways to keep me motivated. This is what I came home to last night...

It's really hard to see but the top note says "Don't give up, I believe in you!" and then the next three show my reward for reaching certain weight goals. The bottom picture is of my "skinny" butt. I asked him if he was sure my butt didn't look the same now but he assured me it does not :) If this is not motivation I don't know what is! Time for double workouts and faithful food journaling! I can do this!
