    For my kids to think I'm the female version of Superman.
    For my husband to think I'm the hottest girl he knows.
    To grow old and be able to raise my kids and babysit their kids.

    Snow skiing is awesome. I can't do it now, but can't wait until I can again.

    Feel better, healthier, and have energy for about everything you listed. My other motivation is to be here (and present) for my daughter. I don't do enough physical activities outdoors with her right now.

    The 5K thing. Doing one in November, but have 5 planned for next year. So excited and can't wait until I can run one without stopping to walk!

    It's nice to know my new obsession with shaving my legs (and trimming my toenails) is not just me. What's better is a place to share this because most my friends just don't understand that lol! The other is boots...can't wait to buy boots that aren't wide calf boots. Another...is to comfortably wrap a regular size bath towel around me!

    I do wonder if I'll ever look good in the cute cool stylish yoga pants...like the Kate Hudson's.

    Aside from just generally being healthy, DISCRIMINATION. Real tired of, for example, going to the doctor for an illness and having the blame put on the weight instead of exploring what's really wrong with me. Always gotta be stern with the doctor about that. Also would like to be able to apply for jobs wherever I want without the fear of "You're not the face we want for our company" coming up. It'd also be nice to have a guy hold a door open for me someplace other than at Planet Fitness. =/

    Also when I lose weight I'll be able to do a couple things I've always wanted to that I can't now, like skydiving.

    I love this inspiration! I too want to be able to use a normal size towel. Also to be able to not DREAD going to the doctor. I also agree about the discrimination. It happens all the time!

    *Feeling less tired
    *Sleeping better
    *Avoiding diabetes
    *My knees feeling better
    *Being able to fit into a "cute" Halloween costume...next year I hope!
    *Not being jealous of other women...I'm so tired of being jealous all the time!
    *Sitting on a barstool and being comfortable
    *Feeling more confident
    *Wearing boots that come up to the knee
    *Having an easier time shaving, clipping my toe nails (sorry if that's too much info lol) & tying my shoes
    *When I get pregnant, being the healthiest vessel I can for my baby
    *Fitting comfortably into an airplane seat
    *Feeling confident in a bathing suit
    *Wearing a cocktail dress and looking pretty
    *Looking people in the face that didn't think I could do it

    My motivation is to simply be the best version of myself.
    I want to
    • look good
    • feel great
    • live well
    Life is too short to settle for less than full potential.
