I wish to lose twenty pounds. I have already lost some, but I have twenty more to go, and have no more ambition/willpower/drive. I thought I'd make myself a little motivational buddy. I went back a few posts to that purple fleece stuffed turtle I had made and made a mini version. Then I made four more shells. Each one represents five pounds that I want to lose. Every time I lose five pounds, I will remove a shell until I reach my cute little goal turtle.
I figure this should give me the kick in the butt I need because I made it public and I'm not showing the other layers until I reach them! Hopefully you guys will want to see my turtle and that will keep me motivated. In theory anyway.
I gave titles to each layer. But just to be clear, I don't think of myself in these terms. No self esteem issues here, I just needed to call the layers something.
And here is the "fat" turtle, upright, with my trusty penny for size reference.
Adorable! Keep me posted on your progress, if that little guy helps you out I'm ordering one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. You'll be posted because whenever I remove a layer, I intend to post the "new" turtle.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a way to do this with snow globes...
What a great idea! I'm a personal trainer and am always looking for ways to motivate my clients. I think my craftier ones will appreciate this method :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth! I cant imagine trying to keep others motivated when I can't even keep myself motivated. You could get yourself a side job knitting various sized sweaters to layer over teddy bears!
