I have written my reasons for wanting to lose weight a few times and I always hid them in various places so I could pull them out when I needed them, but NO ONE else could see them EVER. This time is different. I am posting it right here for everyone to see because this time I'm committed.

1. I want to feel sexy!
2. I want to feel in control.
3. I want to wear the pretty clothes in my closet and enjoy shopping for smaller sizes when these get too big.
4. I want to reduce my risk of diabetes.
5. I want make a better first impression.
6. I want to be a good role model.
7. I want to enjoy going to the beach with my friends.
8. I want to look good in DS's childhood pictures.
9. I want to be a hot mama!
10. I want to live as long as I can.

I could easily come up with 10 more. Makes me wonder -- if I can easily spit out allll the reasons I want to lose weight, what took me so long?
