    For me it was watching my 10 year old daughter struggle with weight, not getting enough exercise and making poor eating choices. It was a sad realization, that I was a poor example to her. So, for me it really is a lifestyle change. Sure, I have some weight to loose, but most importantly I need to walk the walk, if I'm gonna talk the talk. So I am!

    PS - I had a flashback to all the times my parents told me not to smoke as a kid, while puffing away.

    for me it was pictures and avoiding being in them and with 3 kids there are always pictures and I wanted to look better in them instead of being the one always behind the camera taking them.

    you'd do anything for your kids and so they are getting to an age that they know mom was more than chubby

    After I was married, I decided I wanted to be the person that I felt inside (not that my husband cared 'cause he loves me no matter, he's the bestest!!). I was out of shape, smelled like Marlboro lights, & became so picky with how I looked in pictures it started to bother me constantly. Thus- I quit smoking, started out slow with walking, and am slowly building myself up to a better image. Lost 12 pounds. Yay! I look and feel more alive. :smile:
