Hi All:smile: Good Morning on this COLD Thursday. I just wanted to remind myself why I am losing weight because the last two days I blew it big time!!!! I don't want to give up, so I am trying to re-motivate myself! When it gets close to the "time" of month, I tend to eat the house down!!! :laugh: So I realized what was happening this morning and I am determined to get back on track!!!!

REASONS WHY I NEED TO SHED THIS JELLY BELLY!!!

1. Girl trip to Destin, FL on May 22 (That is 5 months, could possible lose 50 pounds???)
2. My cousin's wedding is in April.....need to buy a decent outfit for that
3. My son's graduation is in two years......
4. For my 9 year old to wrap his arms all the way around when he hugs me
5. My health
6. My self confidence
7. My Husband
8. Buy clothes off the rack
9. Summer Swimsuit Season (SSS)
10. Feel Better
11. If I lose 100 pounds I am going to buy myself a new "sports" car or get a tatoo... hee hee
12. High School Reunion is coming up soon

What is your reason??????

    - Look more tidy in my clothing...right now it wears funny because it fits tight in some areas and not others, and pants are way too long
    - Be easier on my knees when I run
    - Look more cut so I reflect how hard I work in the gym!
    - Also to look better in a bathing suit (although I never go to the beach LOL)

    Reason #1 to look good and have more confidence.
    2 SSS
    3 DH and I are going to Vegas sometime this year
    4 To help with my horse back riding, and to look good in show clothes
    5 I love to stay active and it's easier when I'm not overweight
    6 DH says that if I lose the extra weight that I can eventually get a tummy tuck to help fix the damage done by baby #3-he stretched me out soooo bad, it wasn't too bad after #1 and #2, but #3 did a job on my. The I had to have a hysterectomy through a bikini cut and that made matters worse.
    7 So I can wear cute cloths
    8 to have 1 chin

    :wink:

    My Reasons are as follows:

    1. Having our Wedding Ceremony in May 2010 (5 year anniversary)
    2. My Husband's Best Friend is getting married in August of this year, I MUST look good for that!
    3. So I can buy the clothes that I like rather than what fits, or what hides my bulges!
    4. So I can take pictures w/out cringing that my arms are too fat or that I have a 2nd chin!
    5. So I can motivate my husband to see that exercising is better for your heart!
    6. I feel that you lead by example and I dont want my children to grow up thinking its okay to eat whatever they want, but everything in moderation and being over weight is a disease that you dont want to catch!

    The end...:flowerforyou:

    more energy
    in a wedding in may
    feel better about myself
    cuter clothes-- seems whoever is designing fat clothes thinks we are all 75 or older. I am not real creative or i would start my own line.

    My number reason is for MYSELF. I was tired of being fat, and sick all the time, since losing the 33 lbs. (I'm half way there) and exercising regularly I am much more healthy.

    2nd-keep up with my kids, we have 5 kids, ages 1-10, and they are active, it feels great to keep up with them.

    3rd-to be able to spend more quality time with my husband, he is so active, tall, lean, he loves to wakeboard, snowboard, hike, he just taught me how to snowboard this season, and I love it, we get to spend some time to ourselves doing something we both love. Before I always wanted to do these things, just couldn't because of my weight, feels so good now.

    Many more reasons, too many to count, but shopping now is much more fun, I'm finally into a sz large, but can't wait until I get to a medium, or even a small. :happy:
