    I want a family in future, and I owe it to my future children. My health doesn't just impact me.

    Love your responses guys!

    My reasons are because #1 - I owe it to my children to teach them how to live and be healthy. I never want either of them to have the chance of being overweight if I can give them the right tools to begin with! #2 - for myself. I want to feel sexy, beautiful and attractive again. I don't feel that way being overweight!

    I'm getting healthy because....

    I'm sick of dying every time I go up a set of stairs at university...
    And I would like to not die because I couldn't outrun a zombie when the zombie apocalypse happens.

    I want to be a good role model for my little sister.
    I want my body to be healthy enough to conceive again and bring up a healthy baby.
    I don't want my crazy mood swings anymore.
    I want to be able to look in the mirror and think I'm okay looking.
    I don't want to feel freezing cold 24/7 anymore.

    I could honestly come up with a million reasons lol.

    I'm getting healthy because....I'm ready for the life change. I really want to have children and I had a miscarriage in June of last year, mr Dr. was honest with me and told me that my fertility problems are probably caused by my being so overweight. She told me that every 20 lbs that I drop, it'll help me work towards my goal and I'll have a much better chance to get pregnant. On that note, after I have kids, I want to make sure I'm around for as long as possible. Same thing with the hubby, I want us to be together for as long as possible. I couldn't even imagine what I would do if I didn't have him.

    -I want to live a long life.
    -I want to live a happy life, and as long as I am this large, I am so uncomfortable that it seems impossible to be truly happy.
    -I want to have babies, and I want to be an energetic mom who will be able to run, crawl, jump, dance, slide, swing, etc along with the kiddies!
    -I do not want to have a fat, sweaty, miserable pregnancy whenever I do have said babies.
    -I want to set a good example for future kids and curent family members.
    and finally....
    -I want to be able to wear a damn bikini without shame!!!!

    My friend has Hodgekin's Lymphoma. She needs a marrow transplant, but I don't match her. However, I still signed up to be a marrow donor so maybe I can help someone else not have to go through what we've had to go through. The problem is that I can't donate if I'm not at a healthy weight. So I've decided to lose so I can be able to maybe save a life.

    Granted, I want to look good again and what not, but this is the goal that keeps me going day after day. It's the biggest reason I won't let myself fail.

    I want to love the person in the mirror - naked/clothed. I'd like to walk into a "skinny girl's" store and not get the "what the hell is she doing in here" looks. And I'm tired of hearing that I "have a pretty face."

    ^^This.

    Because.........

    Neglecting my weight was starting to adversly affect my heart. My 24 year old daughter looked at me and said "Mom, I have always pictured you being such a huge part of me raising my own kids some day and I'm starting to worry that you might not be around then."

    So......... I'm losing weight and getting healthy for the grandbabies that I haven't met yet...... and for my daughter, Ashlie.

    Oh...and side note..... I'm finally doing for me..... because it feels sooooooooo good!

    ..... I was dying. My body ached, my blood pressure was out of control, my sodium and sugar and junk food intake was at an all-time high. I don't want to have a stroke or a heart attack in the McDonald's drive thru line with my kids in the back seat.

    ..... I want to give my children the family they deserve. A lot of people think that big is beautiful. Well, unhealthy is not a pretty sight. I don't want to marry a man and expect him to one day be my caregiver when I'm 820 lbs. and can't get out of the bed. I want to be a partner with someone and give my children a mom that can train with them when they're in sports and a mom that can save their lives if they're in trouble.

    ..... I want to respect myself. I felt trapped when I was heavier and still sometimes do. I want to know that my choices are better today than they were this time last week, last month and last year. I am a work in progress... but without the 'work' on my part, there's no 'progress' on my part either. I have to do it because no one else is going to do it for me.

    I plan to take over the entire world... getting healthy boosts my confidence, helps me run faster, punch people harder, and... ya gotta start somewhere, right? And I wanna go out with a bang.
