What is your STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS motivation for losing weight/getting healthy?
I'm thinking deeply about defining my motivation. I want it to be specific, personalized, and concrete. I'm hoping to get some inspiration from others. My goal is to define a motivation that would literally stop me in my tracks whenever I'm practicing or about to practice bad habits.
