1. Because I'm sick and tired of being the "giant" girl.
2. Health (I'm not THAT overweight, so it's not the #1 concern for me)
3. Energy... I find that when I'm eating healthy foods and lower calorie counts of it... I have SO much more energy, and for me... when I usually need at least 10 hours of sleep just to feel NORMAL... it's good... I'm now waking up at only 8 hours feeling refreshed... which is AWESOME.
4. Clothes... I'm tired of never being able to find clothes... and when I do... they aren't clothes that I WANT... they're clothes that FIT.
5. I want to be able to do things, I want to be able to enjoy doing random things without worrying if my belly fat is showing, if my legs are too big, if I look absolutely stupid (though I'm sure I'll still kinda worry about this one...
I have a tendancy to look stupid doing a LOT of things). I want to be able to have fun. I want to be able to run with my dog without getting too tired out (and I did this... and it was my DOG who got tired... not me...
). I want to be able to ride horses without looking like the giant girl who has little control over what she's doing, and bouncing all over the place.
6. I want to prove to everyone else that I DO have self-control, that I CAN do things. Mainly to my parents. Who... in my eyes at least... have always seen me as someone who starts and then "fails".
7. I want to see my friends and be the good looking fun one for once... not just the sane one that everyone shares their troubles with because they know I don't do anything like that.
8. I want to be able to wear a dress without worrying about a rash on my thighs...
And so many more.
I guess... all of those are my drive right now.
