Most people start a new diet or lifestyle knowing exactly how many pounds they want to lose. I actually don't know. Though it's embarrassing to admit, I don't actually know what I weigh at the moment. I can guess but I do not know. I am presently so large that I can not find a scale that goes high enough. My doctor was not even sure where I could access one!
Therefore I am focusing on the bigger picture of WHY I am losing weight. I created my own list of reasons to lose weight:
1) To be healthier
2) To have more energy
3) To walk without pain
4) To be able to do activities with my children
5) To be able to buy clothing in a regular store
6) To sit comfortably in a chair with arms
7) So that my husband can hug me tightly enough to cross his arms behind me (in a bear hug)
8) To be able to volunteer more
9) To get in and out of the shower easily
10) To have more space in the car(especially behind the steering wheel)
That's my current list. Anyone else got a different reason?
