For inspiration-- How about taking the outfit you wore the day you had surgery and putting that on. This will show you how far you have come.

For motivation-- Go out to your favorite store and try on something that makes you look and feel fabulous. Then buy it in a size smaller than what fits. I find that I get a huge rush from wearing new stuff that looks good. Something else I do that is a little strange, but I try to bottle up all feelings I get when I feel like I am getting discriminated against because of being overweight and use them in anger when I go to the gym or workout and start to get tired. It keeps me going.

You definitely have the courage in you! You are 10 years younger than I am and I only wish I had the courage to face my obesity head on at your age, rather than waiting so long like I did. I refused to even believe I had gained that much weight at that point and blamed it all on having kids.

You have so much ahead of you and some days might totally SUCK, try not to dwell on them. Do what you can do every day and don't stress about it. Feel free to bitch and whine on here because if anyone understands, we do!!
