What motivates you to stay on track and NOT STUFF YOUR FACE??!... I'll start the list, but let's be sure tokeep it going!!

1) I want to be healthy
2) I want to fit comfortably in a swing at the park
3) I want to exert myself without being winded

    4) I want to be able to find *anything* in my size at a secondhand store. Or any regular store.
    5) No more looks of horror when I walk into a crowded venue from people who hope I don't sit next to them.
    6) Still being able to walk when I'm 60 ... seeing my heavier sisters lose mobility is eye-opening.

    Oh Darla those are good!! I hate shopping for clothes ( because it's such a pain) that I don't do it often and forget that my clothes sizes aren't "standard". Reminds me of first wives club.. Where she says, maybe you should get something... 'In YOUR size'

    7) I want to be super confident in my appearance when I see someone from my past, rather than be self conscience about how big I have gotten.

    Because I *never* want to go back to weighing 410 pounds AGAIN, and being 'me' at 135 pounds feels AMAZING!!❤️ 89l86eapnrnk.jpeg

    28) because I have seen my mom hide behind someone in every picture she's ever taken, and I need to fix what I'm doing now or that will be me too.
    29) because it's embarassing posting pictures on facebook knowing people I've known for a long time are probably crapping their pants with how much weight I've gained
    30) Because I am a thin person. I truly am. I'm just stuck in this body.
    31) Because I want to be around for a long long rime for my kids, and be in top health to enjoy my future grandkids
    32) because being overweight makes me unhappy and ashamed and I would like to change that.

    33) Because I can wait for the next delicious meal I planned and made myself.
    34) Because I want to shed those winter pounds and get back on track.
    35) So I can fit in the car alongside my friends when we go places together.
    36) So I can show off my cosplay without feeling like others are looking at me and thinking I ruined the character for them or that I'm another American who shouldn't be cosplaying because of how I look.

    37. I won't stuff my face because someday I want to say YES to social events.

    My partner and I didn't go out for new years because the people we spent NYE with last year saw me 40lbs lighter and I broke down crying and we cancelled. It broke my heart and his. I hate feeling limited by how much I hate my body this over weight. 40 pounds until I'd see those folks again, and 110 until I hope to never have another excuse to miss a party again.

    39. When I eventually get pregnant sometime in the future I don't want people to wonder if I'm "pregnant or just fat"

    40. I want all of the fabulous clothes I already have to fit again so I can stop wearing my husband's sweatpants
    41. So I can feel confident enough to be the social person I actually am. Miss all of the friends I've stopped hanging out with because I'm too embarrassed by my weight to go out
