Not leaving the house because I have nothing to wear.
Family history of heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I won't be one of them!
Finally fitting into those brand new size 34 jeans that have been sitting in my dresser for years (even though they are probably out of fashion now)
Airline seats...don't think I need to say anymore
Not being ashamed to take off my tshirt when going swimming with friends

I want my dad and my brother to stop making fun of me or telling me what I should be doing.
I want my Gran to shut up about how she kept thin by eating "just a slice of toast" instead of cereal+milk/eggs+bacon/etc. for breakfast for 20 some years.
I want my boyfriend to stop having to feel helpless because I always say I am fat and hideous.

I have a few excuses... but my current favorite is:
"I want to wear clothes because I like them... not just because they'll fit."
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it is yours." --Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
First mini goal... lose 20 pounds... and go brunette! Made the change from blonde to brown - 4/19/09!
My excuse is....
I dont want my little girl to run faster then me
I dont want to get winded when i walk somewhere
I dont want my boyfriend to tell me he loves me, but hes likes my butt better smaller
I dont want to feel insecure while being intimate
I dont want to feel insecure at all about myself.
want to fit in my old cloths again..
My excuse is: I don't want to look like my mother (may she rest in peace); she was morbidly obese and completely sedentary ... she pretty much checked out of reality by the time she was 40 ... I don't want that to be MY story!
THANK YOU for 27 pages worth of wonderful MOTIVATION, thus far!!! This ius an incedibly inspiring thread!
I want to feel ENERGIZED!!!!
I want to get through this process, become a stronger person because of it and get on with achieving tangible goals, making many positve differences in this world!
I want to help others achieve their goals (family, friends, total strangers), but how can i do this when I feel so challenged to stay on track with Atkins???>>>Need to lose the hypocrite factor >>> would love to be a mentor >>> but still struggling to get it right.
I am so tired of starting Atkins yet again...this needs to be the last time i start and the first time i finish all the way to maintenence - for life.
I'm tired of saying that i need to get my act together >>> just want to get going and fly with it.

Yes, I have to say that this thread is really inspiring!
I want to feel happier and more alive. I don't want to feel blue.
I want to have my weight loss behind me.
I want the time I spend worrying about my weight to be focused on more productive things.
I want those in my life who know I want to lose weight to witness me do it. I want to be known for being a girl who stands behind the choices she makes? I do with all my other choices. why is this one different?
I have tons of goal clothes. I want to fit in them.
I want to look great for my Jamaican vacation in 2 months.
I want to feel more comfy in the bedroom.

I've gone to a buffet and a birthday part with pizza and cake. I did not have the overwhelming urge to cheat like I normally would. I had my very small salad and water each time.
I am tired of feeling chunky, and I am desperate to continue my path in my 40's on a healthy note, and not let it get out of hand in the future! So I can run faster! So, I can look good as a hairdresser and not frumpy. Lots of reason.......... Look sexy for my hubby, the list goes on.
