1. Think of Yourself as Already Thin
One of the best ways to think yourself thin is to think you're already there. Use a photo visualizer. Upload a photo of yourself to see what you would look like if you do lose weight. This is a SUPER thought motivator. Check out this visualizer tool: www0.modiface.com
2. Do Not Put Getting in Shape off until Summer!
Think to yourself that by eating more now, you are creating a lot of extra work for yourself when spring rolls around!
