in Health and Weight Loss
As my husband is screaming about the mets, I thought about how I am not really passionate about anything. I have things I like but nothing I'm passionate about (except my kids). Maybe this is why I overate for years and gained weight. I've lost most of it but still struggle to stay within my limits.

Just curious, what are you all passionate about?

    Salsa dancing! It's the main reason I decided to get fit and lose weight.
    I also love writing and film-making.

    Me too! Well, in my case I wanted to be able to get back to Latin dancing after a series of serious illnesses.

    I have lots of other passions--teaching, learning languages, gardening, slow food, nature...tons of them, actually.

    OP, have you traveled? Studied? Maybe now is the time to try some new things and find something to be passionate about.

    I've never been passionate about anything in particular. The whole ... "you've got to find your passion" ... thing, wasn't a thing where I grew up and still isn't. Someone once told me many years ago that it's kind of unique to Americans, but not that big of a deal to Canadians and Australians. I don't know if that's right or not, but nevertheless, I just don't hear people talking about what they're passionate about.

    That said ... I do have interests.

    I enjoy cycling long distances, and that is one of the main reasons I have dropped back down to what I weighed about 10 years ago. So I can cycle long distances more comfortably again. Cycling also allows me to eat more. :)

    I travel ... we try to get away somewhere about once a month for a weekend, and longer trips whenever we can.

    I take classes. That's a good way to focus on something other than food.

    Those are probably my three main interests. :)

    Living life to the fullest! I'm not one who is passionate about one thing over another. I am passionate about trying new things and living each day like its my last, giving my all to everything I do, and being a good mother, daughter, parent, friend, and neighbor.

    Warcraft; learning to day trade so I can escape the rat race so I can do things I want to do, not waste time doing things I don't want to do.

    First thing I'd indulge in is getting ready for a bikini competition.

    @azulvioleta6 Latin dance is the best! I love the social aspect almost as much as the dancing itself. I hope you get well enough to dance again soon!
