Why are you doing this? xpost

I have a very long list of reasons that I did this, but I have a short list that I keep in my wallet, on the back of a 'fat photo' and on post-its on my mirror, in my car and in my kitchen.

I look at that list everyday and affirm to myself why I'm doing what I'm doing. If I am going to make a choice that is questionable, I review the list and ask myself if temporary pleasure is with the risk.

I'll share my list of why I'm doing this, please share your list of reasons you are doing this.

I am doing this because:

I want to live longer and healthier.

I want to provide a good, healthy example for my daughter.

I want to feel beautiful

I love feeling so much stronger and younger

I don't hurt all the time anymore.

I can fit anywhere and into anything; clothes, airline seats, booths.

Teehee, hi!

I am reading a book right now called, Twenty Wishes.  It is a fictional novel but has some wisdom in it.  It is basically a list of things you want to do in life.  Can be serious or folly, but a real list.  This concept spread like wild fire in this little town.  It was originally started from a group of widows who wanted to restart their lives.  I think Im going to make me a list too!!


Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Hi Friend!

I thought of you yesterday during our monthly support group meeting.

Your book sounds like one worth finding. Thanks for the tip.

All the best,
