for me it's myself and younger cousins. I'd like to keep playing with them.

    In a nutshell: my health.

    I am lucky enough to gave good blood sugar and blood pressure and want to keep it that way, but I suffer from multiple times a week migraines that I think eating better may reduce (fingers crossed), and my legs, feet, back, etc. are revolting after carrying too much weight.

    Then again, I am not going to pretend that if I didn't have to hide in a cover-up next summer I wouldn't be thrilled!

    I am doing this for myself and my husband. I need to get healthy so I can be around for him. I am doing this for myself due to having multiple health problems that have caused me to become disabled. I want to get as healthy as I can so I can have a full life.

    1. Be healthy for my family
    2. Feel confident about myself
    3. Look good naked :laugh:

    Myself. Even when I feel like I am not worth it I think about my family and how much I care about them and then I do it for myself. If I frame it as me losing weight for them, then I feel like a burden for not already being healthy. If I think about making small decisions and steps towards my health so I can spend more, better time with those I care about, then I can get through anything, even setbacks when I make mistakes.

    I just want to look better and wear whatever I want, sounds simple but that's my biggest motivation.

    Myself as well. When I am not eating well and exercising, I find I hate myself soo much more. While being healthy, every time I look in the mirror, I get to look for the little differences instead of judging all the fat.

    I think I am also doing it through envy/jealousy because my ex of 6 years is currently trying to get healthy too. I don't want to get to next year and find that he is now fit and healthy and I am bigger than ever. It would make me feel really bad about myself.

    Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm - because I realized I looked like a whale shoved into a cocktail dress. Really - losing weight because I'm fat.

    But hey - I wont pretend I'm not staying motivated by my SO's "hubba hubba!" eyes he's giving me
