So motivated, I thought I'd share

I FINALLY filled out the 'About Me' section on my profile (even though I'm almost half way to my goal) and it kinda inspired me all over again so I thought I'd share it here.
I have been overweight, well pretty much since I was born ( I was a big baby!). Like every other heavy person, I have tried all of the fad "diets" and would loose weight, only to gain it back plus more. About 2 years ago, my sister who has always been over weight like me lost almost 100lbs. That's when I finally said enough is enough. She proved to me that the impossible is possible and that I can do this too!! I am ready to get this weight off and move on to the rest of my life. I want to, not only be a healthy weight, but to "be" healthy. I want someone to look at me and think, "she cares about her health". I want to hike mountains, run marathons and never feel held back by my body!!!!!! I'm tired of saying I can't do something, I can't fit those clothes, I can't go to that party...because of my body. I'm done, no more autopilot, I am taking back control of myself!!
BAM!!! Take that old me :bigsmile:

OLD YOU had no idea what NEW YOU was actually capable of, did she? You proved her WRONG!! Way to go doing this for yourself. I loved the line about hiking mountains and running marathons without letting ANYTHING hold you back.
