I'm sure there are hundreds of experiences and thoughts that lead me to this decision (not to mention years of dieting yo-yoing, and feeling like a failure with every regain). But a few of the recent ones:
- Certifying, and LOVING, scuba diving -- and then within a year not wanting to dive because I feel to big and out of shape.
- Skipping the rides at the amusement park because I was worried that I might not fit.
- High blood pressure, first time ever, and so high I had to get on medication.
- Revolving way too much of my life around food.
- Craving the confidence and energy of moving freely and lightly.
