It sounds totally childish, but it really works for me.. and makes the big picture look a lot smaller. I went on to word and made a table of squares 8 x 8 to make 64.. and use each square to represent one pound. I've 64lbs to loose, so when i lost 9lb this week i coloured in 9 squares.. it makes it look really within reach. When i colour them all in.. i'll be thin!
