    When the new world order gets here and we are all running for our lives, trekking through thick jungles as we dodge and avoid Zombies and government modified killer chimps trying to find the secret bunker that will save only a few from the giant asteroid that is going to hit any day, I want to know that I can make it in one piece!

    That or possibly because I want to look good for the ren fest next October in hunterville NC.

    Vacations! Nothing like a bikini to scare you away from that sleeve of Oreos. No joke- if my willpower is failing I'll actually hang my swimsuit on the fridge door to remind myself to behave.

    #1 My toddler! I have to be able to keep up with her, to be there for her years into the future, and to teach her healthy habits. Trying to teach my stepdaughter the same good habits.
    #2 (sorry honey, no particular order, really) My husband! He's awesome and I have to be there for HIM years into the future.
    #3 Life is a lot easier in ONEderland than it was in the far deep end of the 300s. I feel better now. I can do so much more now without worrying about weight limits or fitting in spaces, etc.

    1. College graduation in June. It will be a very hard earned, long time coming, prideful event for me. I don't want to look back on pictures of one of my greatest achievements and remember when I finally "got it all together", except for being fat.
    2. Vacation. I promised my son I would take him to Disney world for his10th birthday, and I want to be able to ride all the rides and keep up with him walking around the parks and enjoy every second of it just as much as he will.
    3. I want to be strong. Healthy and strong.
    4. My expensive/cute jeans don't fit. It feels like a complete waste of money to not enjoy something I really wanted.
    5. I used to love running. Now, I'm so over weight that it kills my knees of I try to run. I want to be able to enjoy the freedom and stress relief I got from running again.

    So tired of not fitting in clothes that look cute and sick of looking at fit people on the streets and think I'm not like them. I'm sick of being self conscious in bed with my boyfriend. I'm sick of taking only face selfies, hiding my body. This list goes on. This year is the year I'm going to look what I want to look or I'm not getting any younger.
