A jiggley butt is often all the mental picture I need. But if I'm having a really hard day then I'll picture that same toosh, minus 10 pounds or so - in some great jeans. Then I'll mentally accessorize the entire outfit from shoes to earrings. It's not an actual reward yet, I guess - I still have 15 pounds to go before I'll look anything close to what I picture at these moments - but it gets me through! Occassionally I'll even don a mental evening gown. :) I often picture my butt as I run for my incentive to keep going. A jiggley butt is often all the mental picture I need.
