    I'm trying to make life easier. I have lupus, and my immune system likes to attack my heart and joints. I can't do anything about that, really, but I can make sure that my body isn't dealing with the extra stress of too much weight when it happens. I hope this gives me a better about at maintaining independence.

    -Reach a healthy weight
    -Have more energy and generally just feel better in myself
    -Be more confident
    -Better clothes choices!
    -Impress my boyfriend
    -Make my mum happy by finally doing it (she worries a lot)
    -Feel accomplished knowing that I set my mind to something and did it!
    -Set a good example for my future patients (i'm a med student)

    There's loads more reasons but those are the most important ^^

    I want to smash a rock with my pectoral and laugh contemptably as it shatters to dust.

    Fitness. I want to hike Macchu Pichu and Kilimanjaro, I want to scuba the reefs of Australia, and I won't let my body hold me back.

    I want to be able to look at pictures taken with friends or with my boyfriend and not totally cringe at how round my face is, how chubby my arms are, and how unhappy i look. I want to walk into a party or restaurant and not have to worry about how fat i look, how unflattering my clothes are, and wonder if people are staring at me. I want to feel confidence in myself again. I want my boyfriend to look at me and see the old me! The active version of myself who was always down for anything. The first thing I am hoping for, is to do the small things (running up and down my stairs, putting on boots & socks etc) without huffing and puffing about it.

    I'm trying to be healthier, feel better for myself and my kids, I want to look better and be more confident about myself. I want to be able to run and play with my kids without running out of breath.
