    Because I will never forget what it felt like to not be able to walk for a year.

    Because I enjoy walking around naked and checking out my own body.

    Because the jaws of life cut me out of that car and the jaws of life will have to shove me into the ground.

    Because I have a healthy addiction to being present for my own amazing evolution.

    Because I have never been the person that wakes up and follows a routine in a rut of the normalcy I settled for instead of proving I am wonderous creature on top of the food chain.

    Because a life without leveling up is like an action figure that's never been taken out of the box.

    Because I dont have anyone to truly make proud other than myself, and Ive accepted that, so Im going to make myself proud.

    Cause Im a runaway who's hell bent on proving she can thrive and not just survive.

    Because I lost my baby in 2008 because I was sick, anemic and too stressed to handle pregnancy and I vowed to live the badassedest life ever because she wont.

    Because I had to fight - actually fight in a trial - fight for the right to live my own life, and Ill be damned if I dont live it out loud.

    Forget the box. No one is going to return this chick in mint condition!

    The reason I work is: My father had a stage two colon blockage that was cancerous. My mother had skin cancers removed from her. My aunt had a 3 centimeter brain tumor removed earlier this year. However, the long term health may not be grand. My cousin had a skin cancer removed from him. In short, cancer is hitting me all around. None of the people mentioned here were serious about weight or health issues.

    I saw my father vomit green bile after his surgery. Before the operation, He was 320-310 lbs. After the surgery, his weight went to 240-250 range. It was scary. If he had a colon exam and took care of himself, none that would have happened. I hit the gym after his ordeal. I am not going to go through that if possible.

    I workout because I want to live.

    So I can justify eating whatever I want because "I'm still under my calories"

    To look good (obviously)

    and to justify the purchase and wearing of obnoxiously coloured clothing.

    Because I have to.

    I totally would not work out if I could be a healthy weight without it. I see women all the time that look great, and you can tell that they've never worked out - they just have genes on their side. If they put on a few pounds, they are just careful about what they eat for a couple weeks, and voila, pounds gone. I would rather be one of them.

    Forget the box. No one is going to return this chick in mint condition!

    Awesome list of reasons Yoovie!

    i exercise because I started getting breathless just walking up a couple of flights of stairs, and I'm not old enough for that! I want my waist back, and I love boxing (most other CV exercise I just go through the motions but that - I love.)
