What's the strangest thing that keeps you motivated?

My wife and daughter not being disgusted when I take my shirt off. It's one of the things that got me going on my healthy life change. They already are no longer disgusted. I don't want them to ever be again!!

Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds...his abs are like cobble stones....

OMG YES!! He is one sexy sexy man.

I just realised today I'm going to be 25 in July this year; and I'm recently single (among many problems we had, one was that he had an issue with my weight; I'm not obese, I'm overweight, but he really made me feel like a worthless, horrible whale-person. I cant believe I let him make me feel that way. He wasn't exactly a prize himself, personality wise or physically ahem ahem!) anywho, I'm motivated for a lot of reasons; mostly just to do it for me, but dang it, I want to have an awesome birthday and a great time. And I wanna be hot while I party lol! ;D and of course a little devil-part of me wants him to see how well I'm doing without his loser-*kitten* and feel crappy he wasn't more supportive and helpful instead of hurtful. I knew I'd find the right eating plan+excersize routine for me eventually, but he never had any faith in me. I've realised feeling his pressure and losing confidence in myself was actually making it a lot harder. I've lost 10lbs already! A great life is the best revenge hehe I've been happy ever since the day he dumped me!

So much motivates me, the challenge, my daughter, clothes, self esteem, "you have such a pretty face", blood pressure meds, better sex...
But I think the strangest thing to motivate me is:
I recently gave birth a few months ago after being pregnant with my first child. I was SO BIG no one (strangers) even commented about me being pregnant (when are you due? congrats? things like that) because I was so big I just looked fat. Next time I get pregnant (if it happens) I want to be all belly!
