    Seeing awful overweight photos of myself (I've got a before & after with one of them in my profile) which would make me cry.
    I just go so tired of feeling out of control and depressed so I decided one day that I had to put a stop to it. I'm so much happier now I don't even recognise myself and find it so hard to fathom how I got to that sad, sad place to begin with.
    All smiles here :bigsmile:

    I'm getting married and I ordered the dress a size to small. ouch, yes! Amazingly it is not that much smaller then me but this is a good motivator to loose the inches. I am out to loose at least an inch and hopefully two inches in my hips and butt in the next 30 days. I am told it is very possible with good exercise and low calories. I am finishing week 2 and have lost 4 lbs and a inch off my hips. So far so good. I am needing another inch at least. The dress is still pretty tight. Am drinking slimming teas and have a wonderful belly wrap from Golds Gym that I found at WalMart that seems to be toning as I work out. 29 days till the wedding!

    I went to try on wedding dresses and found one that I loved that didn't love me, I vowed to make that dress love my body!

    Emotional: past couple of months people were mistaking me for pregnant and offering me their seat on the subway. =*( Even if i wanted it, i refused. Even after the explanation the kind hearted woman had that she totally understand i was probably tired and swollen and to take her seat because she had just been there a few months ago.

    Rational: The idea of another humid NYC summer and my thighs rubbing/chafing together, creating purple rash marks and intense discomfort in skirts.
