The main reasons I need to lose weight are my health and my mobility. I have watched the problems that my sister and mother have endured due to their weight issues. I need to change before I am too far down the same path.
But the immature and petty part of me is tickled by the thought of my ex boyfriend's face when he sees that I have reached my goals. When I hem and haw about exercising, I think of that face and I think "Suffer my hotness!" It's a motivational tool. It helps me get started and keeps my pace quick. I don't want to get back together with him. But I want to haunt his dreams. Having him suffer even a little bit is a fantastic bonus.
(He was actually great about my weight. He never mentioned it. I wasn't happy about being 75 pounds heavier than him. But I still want him to gasp and bang his head against the wall!)
Is there anyone that you want to have look at you at your goal weight and think "Damn she looks good!"? Friends? Family? Ex? Enemy?
