Goals, Motivation..all that!

Sooo almost three years out from RNY down from 280 to 160 something! Why Will these last 20lbs not remove themselves from my thighs? I do not know! So last week I had a talk with myself and we decided that it was time to start from scratch and go back to basics. I did the 5 day pouch test last week and lost 4lbs! now I am back to protein first, no white carbs, chewing, chewing, and chewing, no drinks with meals and portion control. It feels great to use the tool I fought so hard to get three years ago.
I really needed some motivation to get back to the path I have kinda started to ignore. So I set a goal and a reward:

The Goal: lose 20lbs
The reward: Brand new pair of Big Star Jeans...I want sooo bad I visit them at Macy's every chance I get but I REFUSE to buy them in a size 32! Size 28 or nothing baby!

I want to know what motivates you to use your tool and stay focused on your goals. And what do you reward your self with?

I'm only ten weeks out so right now, the scale is my big motivation!

We had someone from OH speak at one of our support group meetings a few months ago and his recommendation is that you not reward yourself with STUFF or THINGS, with the exception of a digital camera.  He said to buy one and then make your reward creating memories - doing something you wouldn't have done before surgery, going places you've always wanted to go - and to take pictures of yourself at every opportunity.  

I thought it was a great idea!
