One of my goals in 2012 is to finally reach my goal weight. I lost 39 pounds last year, and I WILL lose the last 30 this year. So I've been searching for inspiration to keep me focused. I've got a whole lot of photos of skinny women, outfits I want to wear, shoes I want to buy to reward myself, even bikinis I've longed to be in.

With each image I saved, I seemed to be less motivated. Then I found this:

Katie-Halchishick

This image was originally posted in Oprah magazine. It shows what a woman would have to have "altered" to look like Barbie.

It's crazy, right?

But it is just crazy enough to inspire me to stop beating myself up. Here is a very attractive woman who would have to have over half her body cut off to be "perfect." 

Yeah... this is just what I needed!

I don't want to look like Barbie - I just want to find my feet!

Congrats on losing that weight! I'll bet you'll do great this year, too.
