Why I Want to Lose the Weight



Recommended Posts

Here are my reasons, how about you?

  • To be there for my kids and watch them grow up and have grandkids
  • Better sex life
  • To be able to keep up with my kids
  • To be able to fit on rides at Walt Disney World
  • To be able to go hiking
  • To not have to worry when I am going to get diabetes or other health problems
  • To not have to worry if I die if there will be a coffin big enough
  • To buy clothes because I like them, not because they are the one pair in the store that fit
  • To not be ashamed of having a family picture taken

If not now then when?

I think many of us would have a lot of the same reasons for why we want to lose the weight. Here is a list of some of my top reason.

  • To feel like a normal person again
  • To be able to shop in regular shopping stores
  • To be able to enjoy running again
  • To be fit as my son gets older
  • To be around a long time for myself and my family
  • To be able to enjoy intemacy with my wife more
  • To be able to fly on airplanes and not ask for the seatbelt extension
  • To feel like I can go in public and not be stared at

The list really can go on and on.

Oh yeah, the seatbelt is on my list too!

I know these aren't new or unique reasons, but I think it helps to say them out loud to have clear intentions and I am too embarrased to say them to people in person.
