Let this be a place where you post your motivation on why your doing what your doing, and if you start getting discouraged you can come back here and read what you wrote!
I want to be a positive role model for my daughter on how to be healthy by eating well and being active. Also, I want to make time for myself to be healthy so my "cup" can be full. You can't pour from an empty cup, and I certainly want to be able to do that for my family!

My family has always been unhealthy with lots of high blood pressure, heart disease, etc and I want to change my family tree. My youngest has a heart condition and I want to model healthy habits for him so he never struggles and lives life to the fullest. I also need more energy for my 3 year old! Lol.1

I spent a huge chunk of my 20s (basically starting age 25 when I first started gaining weight) being unhappy with how I looked. I don’t want to spend all of my 30s feeling the same way. I want to be a good role model for my daughter and her future siblings. I want to be strong. I want to run again. I want to go to the pool or the beach and feel good about myself. And I’m afraid if I stay this way one day my daughter will be embarrassed of me.1

I want to feel strong physically, higher self confidence and I think with exercising I will achieve this. Motivation is that my husbands side of the family struggles with weight issues and I don't want my son to go down that path. I see my nephews struggle with self-image and it saddens me that a 10 year old looks up Youtube videos on how to get a six pack in hiding and calls himself fat. I want to be healthy for my family and ultimately for myself.1

My biggest motivation is to do something for myself. I'm making myself a priority in my life by watching what I eat, taking more control of how healthy I eat, and taking time in my day to be active. My next biggest motivation is to gain confidence. I'm over weight and ready to change! Here's to our health as moms!!1

Literally everything you just said is true for me too1 -
I think about my weight all day every day. I just want to be carefree again and not have to worry about what I look like doing literally every single thing I do all day every day.2
