Wondering what is the one thing that finally motivated you, inspired you, helped you
make the commitment to get healthy?

Scripture " You are the temple of God. If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him, for God's temple is sacred."
1Cor 3:16,17

Also realizing how stupid it sounds that I willingly carry a whole person around with me everywhere I go. After a while your arms get tired of carrying around a toddler. Yet the amount of weight I have to lose, I am actually carrying around a full grown adult. Geeze Louise!!

Then the last to set an example for my grandchildren. I want them to live a disciplined life and do things even when they are difficult, so I need to do this for me and them and to honor God.

Well, quite honestly it was my doctor telling me that if I ended up on high blood pressure meds I wouldn't be able to take hormonal birth control. The pill is the only thing that makes my PMDD bearable. So I started in on a regular exercise schedule to get my blood pressure under control. Losing the weight is a wonderful bonus. (That was over two and a half years ago and I've added lots of new goals since then. But it's what got me started moving in the right direction.)

I'm tired of avoiding looking in the mirror.

Never wanting ANYONE to take my picture. My preschooler asked why I wouldn't let her take a photo, and I couldn't tell her "because mommy is too fat." So that was it.
