There have been many months that I could not get it together. Those months caused me to gain back 28.5 lbs. Even when the new year came - it just didn't do it for me. I wasn't committed. I knew I needed to be, but I didn't feel it.
Then it happened. Snowball lost 100 lbs. Now if that wasn't enough, she did it in 10 months. 10 MONTHS!!! You mean to tell me that in 10 months, I could be at 197.5. I just couldn't get it out of my mind. All I have to do is stick to this for 10 months and I could weigh 197. 10 months would be Jacob's 3rd birthday!! 10 lbs a month. That would be my goal.
Then I read an article on the 3FC home page about obesity cutting years off your life. Figured it did. But when I read the article, it said that a 5'5" woman at 150 was cutting 3 years off her life and 180 lb woman was cutting 6-7 years off her life. OMG!!! How many years was I cutting off my life at 297!!! In a post once someone asked if you would give up any of your life to be thin right now. I answered that I would not give up one day of my life to be thin, because I want to spend as much time here on earth with my family. But...by being fat...I am giving up years. LOTS OF THEM!!!
No more. I started SERIOUSLY on the 10th and haven't looked back.
That's what motivating me!! What's motivating you?
