I'm sure there has been other posts like this, but I need a bit of motivation to get myself back on track, and I noticed some others are having trouble rebounding after the holiday. So I'm listing my Top 5 Reasons I Must Lose Weight. I'm posting it on my bathroom mirror so I can be reminded of it all throughout the day. I'll share first, but please post yours!

1. My wedding ring is too tight.
2. This picture ... (one my hubby took of me bowling over Memorial Day.) Ugh.
3. I cannot afford new clothes. Again.
4. Because I am tired of being too self-conscious to wear shorts at the ball field, a swimsuit at the beach, or lingerie in the bedroom.
5. Because I had my last baby 5 years ago.

    1. Because I don't want to die . 2. Because I don't want a fat induced disease. 3. Because I want to look how I feel. 4. I don't want to be the fat Mom and embarace my kids. 5. I lost my Mom at the age of 28. I do not want my kids to go through that.

    My top 5 are:

    1. My wedding ring almost fits
    2. I need to hear my husband tell me how beautiful I look and chase me around the house again.
    3. I want to play outside with my children without being winded.
    4. I want to set a good example for my little girls
    5. Drum roll please......AND NUMBER 5 IS......for me. I want to look in the mirror and not be disgusted!

    1. I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself and feeling like I have no control.
    2. I'm NOT getting my wedding rings sized UP!
    3. There is a skinny woman somewhere inside this fat girl.
    4. I want another baby and I want to do it right. I want both of us to be healthy this time around and I want to increase the chances of getting pregnant! (We tried for 9 mos before & though my daughter was healthy, I suffered greatly!)
    5. I've fallen short of almost every single goal in my life because I don't truly believe I deserve it. It's time I start telling myself that I'm worth it and proving to myself not only that I CAN do it but that I DID IT!

    Forgot about that sexy lingerie!!! I have one of the biggest collections of it that I've ever seen and I couldn't tell you the last time something in it fit! I'm too stubborn to get rid of it, though, I did clean it out considerably when I was pregnant.

    Ok, I'll go (I've lost 75lbs already, but still need a few more gone...)

    1. I still want those last 10 pounds gone.
    2. Obesity, heart disease, & diabetes are staples in my family -- not going to get me!
    3. I like for my hubby to like what he sees.
    4. I don't want my kiddos to give up being healthy b/c they think they are "genetically doomed."
    5. If I keep it off for a few years, I get to have a tummy tuck!

    My 5:

    1. Want to be healthy and feel healthy.
    2. Want to be alive (not just breathing) but actually alive and active and living life to the fullest.
    3. Want to show my nieces and nephews that the "big butt" gene can be overcome.
    4. Want to wear the sexy, fun, cute clothes that my "skinny" friends get to.
    5. Because I have never been my ideal weight and would love to actually weigh what it says on my drivers license!!!

    Good luck to everyone on achieving your goals, I know you will, cause YOU ROCK!!:flowerforyou:

    This is great and so inspiring!!!

    My top 5 reasons for wanting to loose the weight - for good!

    1. I want to take my kids to the pool while sporting a bikini and my husband to be proud as hell!
    2. I don't want to look good for someone who has had 3 kids, I just want to look good with no contingencies!
    3. I want to be able to run in a sports bra when it's hot out instead of a baggy t shirt.
    4. I want to be able to wear short shorts and not worry about dimpling of my rear or how huge my thighs look when I sit in shorts.
    5. I want to teach my girls how to do flip-flops by demonstrating to them instead of just telling them (I know it seems like a wierd reason, but it was always a goal of mine to never loose that skill, even after kids)
