What made you do it?

Re: What made you do it?

Hey, Jess here,
I am doing this for myself. i am doing this to feel better. I am doing this to take back control of my life. I am doing this for my future. I am doing this because I have a 15 yr old who is following, hard and fast in my example... that's a wake up call and a responsibility i need to face.
So, for myself and the example I can set over time, I do this

It was funny for me... I just woke up one morning, feeling determined, and decided that I was going to do it... period... and I have been on it for 3 weeks... there was not really much thinking, something drove me from inside...

Re: What made you do it?

I've never had health issues, so healthy isn't my main reason. However, I do want to get it off now before I get older and am more prone to health issues while being over weight.

My reason is mainly to be more comfortable with the way I look at myself. I've already lost 75 pounds, and I like the change, but still not comfortable. Hopefully by goal I will be comfortable and in stride give me more confidence with others.

I have no one reason that set it off. I had been saying I'd do it forever and just one day it stuck...instead of going a few days and quitting.
