Good morning, I did some thinking last night, after my high of yes I actually jogged for 10 minutes and talking with my dad.. Why am I wanting to lose weight so bad?
This is a very straightforward question and one I feel that I should answer here on my blog.... I want complete honesty this time.....
I can honestly say that I want to lose weight to feel better about how I look, I want to fit in size 8/10 clothes, and wear a bikini. But what I realized after this past year is that although these things make me feel good and it still isn't for the right reasons....So after some soul searching I decided on a honest answer. I want to be around for my children. I want to be as healthy as I possibly can be to combat all the bad genes within my family history. I want to be there to watch my children grow and have families. I want to be as active as I can be for them and not have to watch on the sidelines. I want to be in the middle of the action and I don't want to be the one to hold them back. As I have three very active boys and and extremely active husband it means I have to kick it up a notch. If I end up staying 170 pounds that is okay......If I stay a size 14.. that is okay as long as I can run, play, and be active with all my guys I think I have found some peace within myself.......
Will write later on the exercise.......
Sound like a great reason to me. One day at a time :)

ReplyDeleteEmotional stuff goes along with weight loss. We all have to take an up close look at ourselves during this journey, and sometimes we don't like what we see! I'm glad you're coming to come conclusions, keep your reasons in your mind and close to your heart!!
