    I do want to be healthy and I would like to say that is the main reason. I have been obese my entire life. I have no idea what it is like to be fit. But honestly? My main reason is realllllly odd. I am just SO SICK of being "the big girl". The girl who is not allowed to be scared of anything. I am sick to death of hearing "you have nothing to worry about, you could kick his butt". An ex was physically abusive but no one took it seriously because I was bigger. NO. I was fatter, not stronger. Even the police did not seem to take it seriously. I was over 300lbs at that point. Another boyfriend said I was " twice his size". This came after I told him he had scared me during a fight. This was relatively recent. And I am nowhere near twice his size. But I am tall and big and people seem to think I am bulletproof. Im not. And I am sick of people assuming it. I guess I just want to be normal.

    Myself. I got tried of being over weight. Of being looked at...as being the fat girl. Of getting the wrong kind of attention. A little selfish I know.

    I also wanted to ride horses and my weight made it impossible to do so.

    Everything hurt! Right down to my feet!

    Than I had a scare lass summer on the oconee river whilte white water rafting. I got swept into the river and stuck in the rapids. About the time I made it back to the boat the guide had a hard time pulling me in....

    It was a real wake up call. u.u.

    My daughter, my husband and myself. I want to be able to play with my daughter without running out of breath and I want to be able to go on vacation without feeling awful about myself. Mostly I would like to be healthy and live many MANY more years happily.

    Myself and my children. My mother, my grandfather and my uncle (my mom's brother) had type 2 diabetes. When I was pregnant with each of my 3 kids, I had gestational diabetes which puts me a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. My mother passed away from a stroke a year and a half ago. She probably would have made it, but she was also fighting a foot infection from the diabetes and her kidneys were shot from years of not taking care of her diabetes.

    I want to be heathly, so that I can teach my children how to be healthy. I want to live til I'm really old and know my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren.

    It's me me me ....all about me!

    My top 3 reasons are as follows:

    3) I am sick of buying bigger clothes to cover my ever-expanding backside and front

    2) I am tired of being winded when I try to walk a small flight of stairs

    and #1 is....

    1) I can't fit into an airline seat with the arm rest down without it digging into my fat and the last time I flew I could barely buckle the belt around me. I cried for 2 days off and on about that because I was so depressed about gaining so much weight.

    PS. I also want to look REALLY GOOD naked!

    I'm doing it for me, and for my kids. I want to still be there for them as they grow up. I need to set a better example for them, and teach them good eating habits now, so I can give them a good start in life.

    Hubby reaps the side benefits. ;)
