Below our some of my reasons for sticking with it and getting some of this weight off. What’re your reasons?
SW 225 CW 190 GW 155

1.) Less risk associates with medical procedures
2.) Doctors take me more seriously
3.) I won’t need to think about how much room I’m taking
4.) Travel is more comfortable
5.) Inspire Family members who I want to see in better health
6.) Buy less soap, lotion, sunscreen
7.) Learn to love fashion or at least tolerate it more
8.) Be the best me
9.) Live longer
10.) More confidence in general
11.) Get rid of an excuse that keeps me from some potentially great adventures
12.) Take control of something real in my life

Here’s a dozen reasons but I’d love to think of more- so have at it!

    -To feel comfortable in my own skin
    -To be able to have photos taken with my kids. At the moment I can’t allow my body in pics and haven’t done for years.
    - improve my health and asthma
    - Rub it in my sis in laws face since she’s been really nasty about my weight even though she’s twice my size and I don’t comment on her weight.
