INSPIRATIONS FOR LOSING

Without reasons to inspire us to lose weight, we would never attempt to. Here are some of my reasons, which I like to remind myself of daily:

• better overall health
• breathe easier
• feel more comfortable in public
• feel better about pictures of myself
• won't be consumed by thoughts of food
• won't have to worry about limitations because of my weight
• my son deserves a healthy mom
• my husband deserves a healthy wife
• more fit for vacations
• others will be proud of me
• I will be proud of myself
• will no longer feel out of control
• better appearance
• lower blood pressure
• my feet won't hurt
• ability to do physical activities without being so out of breath
• more self-confidence
• nicer clothes
• won't be a "fat Mom"
• longer life
• set a good example for my son
• be active with my family
• more energy
• lower cholesterol
