    honestly? control

    I want to weigh what I weigh because I chose it. I have run through every reason out there for motivation but I really want what I want. I want to cross country ski, horse back ride, white water rafting, volleyball, basketball, and yep even run and oh so much more. I am only 35! I am not 85. My mother at 65 could do more athletic stuff than I could (not anymore btw =)).
    I want to wear clothes I like.
    More choices and I pray my kids seeing me do this everyday and remember, so someday they make the same choice I did and that was to imitate my mother.

    Because It's better to workout in the morning then to wake up everyday and not like my body at all.

    My health...

    And I want a boyfriend ): I suppose that's the real reason. I just want guys to look at me and actually be interested for once. I'm sick of being the fat chick/fat friend.

    I'm already pretty healthy and I definitely wanna maintain that. But mostly for vanity reasons. Beyond losing weight, I wanna gain more muscle because I like feeling strong, since I was never athletic or anything growing up.

    100% truth- I maybe was never the prettiest or skinniest girl but I always was able to walk into a room and command attention, I had guys ( and girls) falling all over me, I felt sexy 100% of the time 24/7, I looked good, I felt good. Then I had kids and lost alot of myself and gained alot of weight. Midway through my second pregnancy I started here to keep myself in check.
    I have been working pretty hard to get myself back, body, mind adn spirit. And its working!!!!

    Today while driving down the highway this seriously hot guy driving a delivery truck was flirting with me, pulling up next to me blowing me kisses, waving, beeping for 4 exits!!!! He even waved buy and blew a kiss when I took my exit ramp lol
    I know its silly but I felt like "Ah, I'm finally back :) " And hubby and I are at it like rabbits again <3 he can't keep his hands off me and I can't keep away from the mirror

    I want to see my kids grow up, get married, and have kids. My dad died when he was 44 (I was 13) of a massive stroke and never got to see any of his kids do those things.

    There is not a single life goal I have that won't be easier to accomplish if I'm thin, fit, and attractive.

    Freaking love that.

    I can accept getting older - I can accept the gray in my hair - I can even accept the wrinkles - all are inevitable and a part of aging. What I can't accept is being overweight and the possibility of one day losing my teeth - because both are preventable if I take care of myself.....still have my teeth and plan to keep it that way - but was very unhappy with my overall appearance and am now doing what I can to reverse the dumpy frumpy middle aged woman I saw myself to be.....I want to age gracefully and I wasn't doing that. I want to be the older woman that turns heads towards me in an admirable way (not away from me) when I walk into a room!
    So, yes, vanity plays a big part of it - but so does quality of life - because if we truly take care of our bodies, our quality of life goes up as well.
    That's my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it!

    I started this to compete with my room mate when I realized she was more fit than me. (green eye jealously I admit)

    However, I so badly want to be able to take a real dance class and not have to think, "gosh before I had knee surgery and became overweight I could do this". I was crazy fit, flexible, and strong. I felt amazing about myself and my body. I know what I am capable of and I want that back with no excuses for why I can't be that way again.

    Gosh my honest answer is I don't want to die as a fat man, I don't want to be known as the guy that ate himself to death.

    I was tired of looking at every single picture of myself thinking about how i let myself go and how awful i looked. and now that i have a little one i want to take lots of pictures with her. i want to love pictures of us together. besides that, i felt run down and slow and couldnt' believe i was wearing the size i was wearing. i had never been that heavy in my life and it was causing me to feel depressed too. and i wanted to look good.
