Hi Katie
I have so many things that are potential motivators that I'm getting overwhelmed by them all !
I'm going on a beach holiday with DH in just a little more than 4 weeks - that should be the only motivation I need!!
I'm also with you on the hangover thing. I do like my wine, but I hate to have a hangover. And on the day I have a hangover, I find that I eat more and find it tougher to stay legal.
I'm starting college soon- I'm in my mid 40's and that is a very scary prospect.But I want to feel comfortable and happy in myself and so there is another reason to motivate me.
I was recently diagnosed (at last, after many years of wondering) with ADD (I use the term ADHD too, but I dont have the "H" I grew out of that in my teens). I am still finding it difficult to talk about, there are a lot of people who are not aware that adult women can have ADHD.
I dont take prescription meds for it yet - my doctors want me to try therapy and lifestyle changes such as (you guessed it) healthy eating - they specified reducing sugar and fast starches particularly, and exercise.
Last time I did P1 of SBD, I found that about 6 days in, my symptoms were reduced a lot, I was clearer in my head and was able to get things done and stop being like a whirling dervish - running around like a headless chicken (oops sorry Ruth
) and achieving nothing. Instead it was easy for me to have some structure to my day.
Since I've been off the diet, my life has started to get overwhelming and out of control again. So, eating good healthy foods clearly is beneficial for me. Thats another motivator.
It's hard. We have to see the long term results instead of the instant gratification of just eating what we want whenever we want.
Thanks for this post - it got me thinking about the other reasons, apart from wanting to look good, that I'm doing this plan.
I'm so proud of you for treating yourself to a well deserved vacation! 
I've got to go get groceries, but plan to explore the website you linked to later today and drool at your future luxury!
