Why do I want to lose weight?
Posted on February 20th, 2008 by Biffster
At the WeightWatchers meeting this week, one of the questions for discussion was: “Why do I want to lose weight?” I figured that would make a great topic for a journal entry, so here I am.
Why I want to lose weight:
- So I don’t have a heart attack when I am 40
- So my children are not embarrassed of me when they are of school age
- So I can keep up with my kiddos while we play
- So my wife and I can snuggle closer
- So I have more stamina for physical activities
- So I can wear some of the cool clothes I have stored away in the basement
- So my lower back stops hurting
- So I can finally fit into the Hawaiian shirt that is actually from Hawaii
- So I can feel less self-conscious, and maybe even attractive
- So I can fit into rides at Elitch Gardens
- So I can prove to myself that I can manage my weight
That’s what comes to mind right now. Feel free to leave comments below, sharing the reasons you want to lose weight.
Welcome, everyone, to my litte space on the web. I've been fighting a battle to maintain my weight since 1997. As Lao Tzu said a couple of millenia ago, the journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. This journal documents my journey.
