    Health is my number one reason, but every time I go to the store I see some clothes and I said: "I will probably look good on those of I were thinner", so that's close number two reason.

    1- I want to feel that other people could actually randomly see me in public and think "wow, she is pretty/cute". I have never in my life felt that way and would love to know what it feels like. I want to give my husband people to give "the look" to lol

    2- I want to enjoy going clothes shopping. Only once in my life, post high school at my lowest weight, did I get to enjoy shopping. I had worked my way down into a juniors 17/18 and it felt awesome.

    3- my big wedding is in 12ish weeks and I want to feel confident in my dress. I want to not worry about how I look in the pictures, worry about angles, etc.

    4- My husband and I want to TTC this year. I want to get towards a more healthy weight so I can lower my chances of suffering preeclampsia again.

    5- I want to be able to chase and play with my kids like their dad can. I want to be a good example of loving my body and myself for my daughters and to be able to play with them, not just watch.

    20 years ago I was at my perfect weight and fitness level and I loved myself. Life happened. Although I was rarely sick, a year ago I had a nearly-fatal health scare that woke me up to how much my weight had increased. Aside from the main issue, I was told I had high blood pressure and pre-diabetes. That turned out to be false but I knew it was a matter of time unless I got fit again.

    I also finally admitted that, with a fit husband and fit adult kids, I was a slob by comparison. And that people generally disrespect heavy people. I want respect and self respect again.

    -To be more healthy and not in pain
    -To be able to run without having to stop to breathe
    -Not to have that annoying flab around me
    -To look good for myself and to feel better

    Oh lordy here's an honest answer why: today during yoga I did a shoulder stand and all I saw in my line of vision was boobs and belly. :'( Feeling a little low but motivated.

    Why not? I can, so I should. It's healthier, I feel better, and I make a better role model both at home and at work.
