    I love to compete with myself (I run), so I like to see if I can push myself further and faster. And I like to eat, and I'm never quite happy with eating just to my designated calorie goal, so I usually eat back about half of my workout.

    Good call I forgot to mention anxiety, or mental health in general! It's helped tremendously with social anxiety and depression

    I workout hard because I am fighting to live. I weigh over 600 pounds (or I did - I'm not sure what I weigh because I don't have access to a scales and there is a big difference in my starting picture from August 7th, 2013 so I know I am losing weight). I started out in August on a powdered diet that you just add water to and ate between 600 and 700 calories (that was how I lost all my weight in the past when I weighed 759 at my highest weight and got clear down to where I was thin with a lot of excess skin) because I thought that was the only way I was going to be able to lose weight. But strange things started happening this time that I decided to research online and found out it was caused from Starvation Ketosis. I stopped that diet on September 1, 2013 and started a 1500 calorie diet on September 2, 2013. I knew that after starving myself if I didn't get up and move my behind I was really going to start packing on the weight no matter how healthy I eat. I have to sit down on my bed to do it, but I do kickboxing and that gets my heart rate up and I break out into a sweat doing it, so I know I am burning calories. My mom told me a couple days ago that even though I am eating real food and eating more, she can see that I am still losing weight.

    This is a big one for me. I treat my anxiety and depression in other ways but exercise helps in a major way. I definitely notice negative mood changes if I don't work out for a few days in a row. That said, I also work out to look even hotter, blow off steam, boost stamina and endurance for hiking, running, cycling and other stuff (minds out of the gutter, people). Also so I can eat like the piggie monster I am and ogle hot dudes at the gym...:blushing:

    It gives me a high. It gets my blood rushing and about 95% of the time just makes me happy.

    I used to be depressed. I used to dislike myself - a lot. And all of the other negative baggage that comes with that.

    When I started exercising - even though I wasn't losing weight or really seeing progress because I didn't have the diet in there - I immediately started feeling better about myself. Look at all this stuff that I can do! See that puddle on the floor? I made that! It gave me an energy boost and a confidence boost.

    And since I started trying to incorporate healthy food habits, it's gotten even better! I don't think I'll ever go back to where I was before ♥

    Because I love seeing head's turn and girls smiling while I'm running shirtless
    Because my ex is a total b!tch and I want to really make sure she knows what she's missing
    Because I hate failing at anything and with strength and stamina comes success
    Because sex gets better with every extra pound you can lift and every other muscle that shows
    but it's for my health and so I feel good because ^these^ reasons make me shallow :cry:

    Not shallow, one of those atleast is in the back of everyone elses mind. I want my *kitten* ex to know what hes missing too :)

    1. I LOVE the way my husband looks at me (me, a 60+ girl)!

    2. If I can extend my ability to remain mobile by attending to diet and exercise, I am in
    because I love to dance.

    3. Too many people in my age group are resigned to 'being old'. Whereas, I believe that
    age is a 'state of mind'.

    3. Oh, did I say that I love the way my HOT husband looks at me? :)

    to look good naked!

    This is my real reason.

    Also, to have exceptional mobility for as long as possible and to improve and keep up with my dance training.

    Mostly because I am seriously addicted. I really think of it like air now. I need exercise every day like I need air, food, and water. And speaking of food...yeah, also so I can eat more. :wink:

    Be stronger, less pain issues from the junk spine I was blessed with, to have a nicer *kitten*, keep the girls in place as I lose weight and the macros (I don't generally eat back my calories, but I do eat my macros MMmMmmm macros).
