    I was tired of feeling invisible. Tired of lugging around all that extra weight. Tired of hating how I looked. Tired of hating how I felt. But mostly I was tired of feeling like I was worth more and not having the strength to do anything about it. One day I just decided that I was worth it . . . .

    this. although it hasn't helped my social life much, and many days I still feel invisible...but it's getting better.

    So I don't feel like a fat cow or a giant blob on the chair anymore.

    I want to be able to find something in my closet without changing a gazillion times and most importantly I want to be able to play catch with my 4 year old without running out of breath!

    so I can't look as good at my 20 year anniversary vow renewal as I did at my wedding. I'm planning a beach renewal and will be wearing a super sexy dress. I'm also tired of being so timid in bed.....not because I'm not adventurous, but because I know certain position will make my fat jiggle.

    I do it for my wife and kids, and grand kids (see profile pic) . I want to be around for them for a long time. Plus I want to feel better about myself.

    I really want to have a family - after over 15months of trying I am seeking fertility testing - and I KNOW one of the first things that will be said is "lose weight" so "I have" and "I still am" are now a valid part of my vocabulary..

    I want to prove my self wrong - I NEVER saw myself as fit or as athletic. I want to run a marathon in the next couple years.
    I DID get told that I couldnt ride a rollercoaster NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
    I want to turn heads and get told that Im sexy. No more of this "pretty face" business!!!

    I want to be fit and healthy, and be the kind of woman I looked up to as a little girl. Also, I want to be an inspiration for my future patients and actually walk how I talk.

    My dad tells me not to bother trying to lose more than 10 kg- and I told him I wasn't born to be fat and he responded with there's no going back now- I'm 25 and I weigh 97kg

    Last year I was 25 , and 91kgs. I'm now 73kgs so don't let anyone tell you "there's no going back" :)

    I was 98kg when I was 22 - bull$h1t there's no going back! :)

    All my reasons are superficial too but that's fine with me, I'm doing this for myself not anyone else!

    So I can shop at every store, without limitations! So I can be healthy and be able to take care of myself and mother if need be. So I won't hate to look at myself in pictures. So I won't be the fattest person at work. So I won't scan the room to see if I'm the biggest one there. So I can be comfortable in my own skin. So I can love what I see when I look in the mirror everyday. So I can be strong, fit and an inspiration to others. So I can make my family proud. So I can make myself proud. So I can be a cougar!:laugh: So I never have to see the scale go to 300 ever again!

    I want to look good in all types of clothes...work clothes...bikinis...lingerie, and even naked!
    I want to hike the hardest trails and spontaneously do pull ups, whatever I feel like, without worrying if my body will agree.
