My motivation is just to feel better. I know. Sounds like a lame, sorry, "everyone says that" sort of motivation, but it's true. I am SICK and TIRED of being out of breath when I have to walk up to my bedroom everynight. I'm disgusted at the fact I can hear my knees cracking under the weight as I pull myself up every stair. I have high blood pressure and my cholesterol is on the highest end of normal. My back hurts, and by 2 hours into my 10 hour shift at work, my feet are ready to give out and I end up walking like the Hunchback of Notredame. I'm 22 years old! I sould be out playing sand volleyball with my co-workers, not taking medication so I won't have a stroke! I want to be able to look my reflection in the eye and be proud of what I see. I want to be a good rolemodel for the kids I want someday! I want to be able to take my dogs for more then a walk around the block! And I can do it! I will do it! I HAVE to do it!
You'll find whatever motivation works for you. Rather it's dancing your native dance, or being a healthier mom, or not dying at the age of 22, it doesn't really matter as long as it works for you. And you can do it! We all can do it!
Take Care...

Motivation is something you really have to find in yourself. For me, it was just realizing one day about a year ago that premature death and buriel in a extra-wide coffin was not my idea of a good time. And so, I tried day by day to make changes. The package that held the peanut butter cookie (held=past tense) sitting next to the computer at the moment means I still have work to do in that regard. A hurricane is no excuse for bad eating....that's my slogen today (too bad I didn't pay attention to it when I ate that cookie).

Ok...here is my confession.
Come visit my page and say hi!This is motivation in the negative, but I go clothes shopping. Those tell-all mirrors and lighting in the change rooms absolutely disgust me, in what I see, but it seems to work for me in staying on program. Painful but effective.
I am new to the board and starting again, but this time I'm just taking it a day at a time instead of looking at it as one huge goal.
