@stortina so many great reasons!! A lot of us overweight people are in the same boat so we have the same reasons but other reasons are more individual. I love that this thread motivates you! Thinking about the “Whys” is a big motivator for me, too. Keep checking in and keep the reasons coming!! ❤️3

Day 59 of 100 Reasons Why:
I’d love to go kayaking. When I see people out gliding across the pond or through the salt marshes, effortlessly skimming across the water and it looks so peaceful & easy to me. But I know the second I try to step into a kayak my awkwardness coupled with my weight will make it tip over, sending me straight into the water! 😂3 -
For small metal chairs with arms. My husband and I went out to dinner tonight. Sat out on the patio where the chairs were small metal ones with arms, the kind that use to be incredibly painful to sit in - I used to have to sit on the edge just to save my hips. But no more. I fit with room to spare, 125 pounds later. I no longer fear chairs!7

Day 61 of 100 Reasons Why:
So that clothes fit my body properly.
No more tugging down my t-shirt to cover my fupa or wearing jeans that are tight on my waist, baggy on the butt and bunching up around my legs. No more bras that fit snuggly around me, emphasizing my back fat, but with cups that are too large. No more choosing a bathing suit based solely upon how much of me they’ll cover up or hiding in oversized hoodie sweatshirts all winter long. No more!5 -

Money!
There's a closet full of clothes that used to fit.
Treats and junk food bought nearly every day.. a candy bar, ice cream etc add up to more than a gym membership.6 -

Day 64 of 100 Reasons Why:
Today is my birthday and even though I have weight loss goals I still want to live my life. I am finding that it is possible to have my cake and eat it, too, as long as I can find a good balance between healthy foods and occasional sweets and treats. And by this time next year I plan to be half the woman I am today 🎉11 -

Thank you everyone!!! I had a bit of an indulgence yesterday. Poor planning led to a trip through the drive through and of course CAKE!! But it was worth it!! Dark chocolate cake with raspberry icing and raspberry chip frozen yogurt from my favorite local ice cream spot 😋😋😋
But my big treat for myself was not good related. I got my first ever tattoo!! And it came out awesome! 💕
