Honestly, it's life. If I give up now, I am accepting health problems and a shorter life span. I am not willing to do that so no matter the amount of effort or length of time it takes to do, I will fix this.

My baby boy. I want to give him the best life possible, and that means being as healhy, fit and happy as I can.

My clothes. I have clothes all the way from sizes 22 to size 4 in my closet. I am going to inch my way back into those 4's. I'm tired of wearing frumpy, ugly clothes.

My health. I'm not technically an unhealthy person right now, but I know that can easily change if I don't change.

Yep, those are my 3 main motivators.

My boyfriend's mom is obsessed with taking pictures. She takes pictures of everything, including her meals. When we see her, I have to duck for cover when she starts rumbling in her purse because I don't want anyone to take pictures of me. In fact, my weight loss journey started when she sent me a picture of me that she said was "cute". I would describe it as elephant-ine, and it set off a storm of tears and chocolate ice cream that ended in a diet plan.

I don't want to hide from cameras anymore. When someone wants to take a picture of me, I want to be sexy and confident and show off.

Mayday, I'm exactly the same. I hate having my picture taken! But I'm determined that when I'm finished with my diet plan, I'm going to feel confident in front of a camera :-D

Yip, In the last 5 years I'd say there is 5 photos of me, maybe less.
So sad! Agh

Aww no :( I love looking at photos, and remembering things. But if I'm ever in them all I can think is "eurgh!!" My boyfriend assures me I look fine in them but I hate having my picture taken

At the moment my main motivation is summer. I do not want to spend this summer covering up to the point that I am baking under my cardigans etc and actually avoid going out because of it on beautiful days. I will not be at my goal this summer but I will be infinately happier than last summer :D
