I am going into the modeling business and I'm fairly short. I only have modeled for magazine and am starting now to go into a few commercials (local) and hoping to expand. But, i need to lose a few pounds so that I can do swimsuit. I'm not very large but I've put on a few pounds because I was taking some medication a few months ago and I haven't really been able to get them off. I haven't really dedicated myself either. I mean, I go to the gym and all that but I've been maintaing myself, you know? If I really wanted to, I could lose all the weight in a month. This is really important to me. I need to stick to a diet that works and I need to have the motivation to do it. I also want to feel better about myself. Like I said, I'm not overweight. But, I just need to shed a few pounds because this is the modeling industry. Can anyone offer me any advice to help keep myself more motivated?? please?? thank you and God bless you
On one, write one positive aspect of losing weight and how it'd benefit you not just in your career but health wise. Write anything inspirational, but keep it honest.
On the other, write one negative thing about keeping the extra weight on. This is the "temptation" note, the part of your mind that filters all the good out.
When you're done, stick them to your mirror, a notebook, anything, and the pro's will outweigh the con's.

I would prefer if I were you to just make a diet meal plan and go from there, just don't try to be really worried about because you should be happy for what you are. I hope this gave you all the advice you need and also if you want you can give me some feedback and give any comments about this advice that I give yeah. Thanks!
