    To be able to wear a closet full of clothes I own instead of shopping for new ones!
    To be able to go out and feel confident about how Iook!
    To be able to live a healthy lifestyle now, so as I age, it won't be a struggle!

    My motivation is proving to myself and my family that I CAN do this, the healthy way. My entire family is OBESE, my younger brother is MORBIDLY OBESE and none of them have any desire to change. In the past, they've tried fad diets and lost lots of weight, but then resumed their normal lifestyles and gained it all back.

    I'm proving to them that it is possible, it is doable, and I've been eating pretty much the same things they eat, in moderation.

    It also helps that my clothes fit better now than they ever have been, and I'm seeing my boyfriend for the first time in 4 months in a few weeks and he has no idea what I look like now, just what I used to look like 21 lbs/3 months ago!

    All the things that motivate me

    1) Knowing I am healthier and fitter than ever before

    2) the respect I have gained from my parents for committing to something and sticking to it

    3) My dad saying "I'm so very proud of you"

    4) My SO FINALLY saying "I'm proud of you"

    5) Fitting into a size smaller


    I could go on and on. Motivation is everywhere!!
