There are so many things I cannot do as a result of health problems and/or being overweight. And that motivates me. So my question to you is: what can't you do that you want to do? How does that motivate you?

I can't right now, but I will:

Run more than a mile
Snowboard
Hike long distances
White water raft
Rollerblade (that could have to do with the fact that I have no coordination.. lol)
Do push-ups
Play outside in the cold (lung issues)
Sing with a 2+ octave range
Etc.

I see these things and more as challenges to be overcome, and that drives me, makes me constantly push to better myself. Sometimes, the things we cannot do cause us to lose hope. However, we have a choice to turn that on its head, and face challenges with determination. It's all about the attitude that you allow yourself to have.

What about you?? What "can't"s drive you??

    I CAN look at myself in the mirror and think I am beautiful and be so proud of how far I have come and all that I have accomplished. I am to hard on myself and need to treat myself with more respect.
