Why are you determined to stay OP today? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Of course, our health is the main reason we will stay OP, but what are some other reasons you are determined to stay On Program today?

For me, it's because I'm tired of worrying with the weight. I have spent more energy fretting about it, than I have doing something about it.

Another thing is, I want my energy back! I get too tired too fast, and I don't like that.

What are some of your motivators?

I'll be second

I'm going to stay on plan today because I've already wasted the good part of this year "pretending" to stick to my WW -- I don't want to celebrate another New Year's regretting not doing more.

I'm not on WW (I count calories), so I hope I can say why I want to stay OP today. It's because I am just a few ounces away from meeting a mini-goal of 35 lbs. lost and I really want to get there already....especially before my water retention starts when the PMS begins in about a week. I also want to get to my final goal and what better way than to stay OP one day at a time?

I'm also a calorie-counter, but I'd like to respond:

I will stay on plan today because the scale hasn't moved AT ALL since my last weigh-in, and I don't want to report "no change" on Friday.

I plan on staying OP today because of my health. I want to be around for my husband and children for a long long time, and to be able to enjoy and embrace life with them.
Also I want to feel confident about myself, and right now I just don't have that.

I want to tie my shoes without gasping for air.

I want to fit nicely in an airplane seat.

I'm staying OP today because I wasn't quite there last night and felt physically uncomfortable as a result. OP means avoiding physical discomfort.

Aggie,

Today I have stayed OP because I want to be able to eventually sit in any booth in any restaurant and not worry if my belly is going to rub the table.

I am staying on plan today because I blew through all of my flex points plus a few extra while camping this week and I would like to show a maintain or loss at my next weigh-in.
