What keeps you motivated?

Mine is I'm just tired of being fat. I'm ready to see what skinny and healthy feels like!! I can't wait to shop in those stores I can't and won't even go in. I also wanna be able to be one of those fitness junkies lol. U know the ones with the fitness gear on all the time. Protein shake in hand always lol. I wanna be able to say I went from a size 26 to a size 9. Possibly smaller. I'm not giving up. I always give up after a few days. Well so far it's been 11 and even that motivated me to keep going. Knowing that this is not that hard and that I can do it. Plus. It really motivates me when I see young couples out doin things that my age people should be doing. Like being comfortable enough in crowds. Fitting in the seats at the movies with out having to lift the arm wrest and sit half in my hub seat. ;(. Also I wanna be able to go to a restaurant that I know has tiny booths and not have to ask or a table. It also motivates me for my husband in general. I'm so tired of him being seen with a fat girl. It drives me crazy. I wanna be that girl that hot enough for another man to be like man bro ur wife is a dime lol. I can wish guys. But honestly in all I'm just tired of being the fat girl in the corner. The depressed cause I'm dying cause I can't stop eating. I mean that's a stupid death. I don't want my death certificate to say death by food. So no. It won't. I wanna live long and travel and not have to be held back by all this weight any longer.

One day, sometime this past July, I realized that my life was finally something I enjoyed. The idea that I've been blessed with a life worth living keeps me motivated. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well, and I have come to apply that to all areas of my life. The community that I've found here, and my super encouraging wife keep me motivated toward that end.

1. Success Stories
2. The fact that I've punted all my "fat" clothes. And I like how I look in my new things.
3. I love the muscles I feel in my legs and abs.
4. The fact that I look better now than I have in years...and the hope that my STBX is suffering over that.
