Let's all list our reasons and motivations for being fit...it'll be a great place to go to get a slap of reality when we are feeling out of it!

I'll Start:

To wear high heels without killing myself
So I can run after my two year old and not break a leg or have a heart attack
So I can walk by a mirror and actually look in it
To have the energy to keep up with the busy lifestyle I want

    -- Be as proud of my physical accomplishments as my mental ones.
    -- Go into a store and buy off the rack without it being a 'special section'
    -- Be a success story - I love that one!
    -- Healthy. Really be healthy without always worrying about whether this physical is the one where the doc puts me on some crappy pill that I know I wouldn't need if I wasn't so fat
    -- See my new muscles instead of just feeling them under the layer of fat that's still covering them

    AND this:
