I felt I had no choice - I couldn't just get fatter and fatter and sicker and sicker. I was running out of choices of where to buy clothes and being able to fit into chairs/airplane seats etc. I was "thisclose" to being in a wheelchair and it scared the hell out of me.
-I want to feel excited and good and proud of myself
-I want people to see a change in me and really see my true beauty
-I want to go tubing with my family this summer and be able to lift myself on a tube
-I want to buy a cheap bathing suit on sale at a department store
-I want to fit and look good in a skirt or pair of shorts
-I want to borrow my sisters clothes
-I want to feel proud of my body
-I want to have to never worry about weight restrictions, or whether I will fit into a seat
-I want guys to look at me and find me attractive and beautiful
-I want to be that girl that guys dream about
-I want to be able to touch my knees to my chin, and sit in funny positions in chairs
-I want to shop at cute boutique stores in the mall that my friends shop at
-I want to be a girl that makes guys nervous and stumble with their words
-I want to be picky, and not stare at a guy and think that I would/could settle for him
-I want someone to go out of their way to try and impress me
-I want to not have to wear spandex gut busters everytime I dress up
-I want to have muscles and a flat stomach
-I want to fit into fancy dresses without having them completely re-altered or special ordered
-I want to be able to fit into all my old clothes I can no longer fit into
-I don't ever want to feel this shame and embarassment I feel when I am ignored/rejected
-I want to show up every person in high school who never took a second thought about me
-I want to be one of those women on a cover of a magazine who are standing in one leg of their old pants
-I want to be a good role model for my patients and family
-I want to ride on airplanes without worrying about fitting in the seat
-I want to ride rollercoasters again
and finally...
-I want to be able to look back and finally say, "I did it. I actually did it!"
I know some of them are silly, but these are what's mainly driving me to go through this much work to lose weight.
