    The number one reason was vanity and wanting more confidence, I had been battling with my weight for a decade and having that issue from such a young age has made it nearly impossible to see myself any other way even now that I'm at my goal. So if I gained it back it would absolutely destroy any shreds of confidence I'm gaining and then some. But another reason that should be more important is the fact that Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, heart problems, and bad cholesterol ALL run through my family like wildfire and I just knew if I didn't try to take off my excess weight while I was still young I wouldn't be able to take all the preventative measures I can against my many genetic downfalls. Also a new reason came up recently to get in good shape instead of just looking thin, There is a mission trip in Costa Rica with my church next summer and I really want to go and do good but it's a LOT of work and I just don't know if my body is up to it. That needs to change!

    My clothes were not fitting well during the start of Springtime. Also, my sister is getting married in 2 weeks and I need to be in a strapless matron of honor dress!

    Honestly, I want to go to Toronto next year for school, and not feel as if people are looking at me and stereotyping me. In my first 'bout of college, I was one of two girls in my program. Of course, the other girl was skinny, tanned, and beautiful. I was in television-broadcast, and all the guys always put her in front of the screen and me in the background. I had the brains, I had the on air personality, but I wasn't pretty enough to be wanted on screen. I guess this put a huge damper on my self esteem, and I don't want people to look at me and use my weight as a barrier to do something.

    It hurt to walk, to do normal every day things, to play with my kids.

    Looking at pictures of myself, I was disgusted in what I saw...ugh.


    ^ ^ ^ ^
    THIS!!!!



    Also , woke up in the middle of the night with my heart racing one night and it scared the HOLY, LIVING CRAP out of me......it just wasn't worth it anymore to be that overweight and keep kidding myself that I was ok...I was not ok. !!!

    Turning 40 was the HUGEST influence ....it was time to start living....and get busy!

    Honestly, I would have to say pure vanity. I want to look incredible in my wedding dress, in any dress, bikinis, and even naked. Also, there is a little bit of jealousy in there. My sister was always the big one out of the two of us, and now shes dropped weight like crazy, and she looks like a skinny, golden goddess. I want to be able to stand beside her and not feel like people are embarrassed for her.

    Because I'm a 30 year plus smoker and I want to quit, really quit.

    My brother and sister are both overweight and I've been lucky enough to stay slim, I'm sure the smoking helped. My past endeavors to quit smoking have been side lined because as soon as I gain 5 pounds I start smoking again. This time I did things differently. About 8 weeks prior to my quit date I started using this site and counting calories. Then an exercise program got incorporated into my life next. Before even quitting I was in the habit of eating right and exercising. So, I am now on day 18 smoke free and I have not gained a pound. I know this time is going to be the last time I have to deal with this issue!!!

    I failed with quitting smoking twice before it stuck. Part of that failure was the weight gain. I'm smoke free 4.5 years now and managed to only gain 5 lbs at the time.
