Why I Do Not Want to be Fat...

[*NikkiBell*]

Just a few things that popped into my head after watching two specials on Discovery Health tonight. It documented the life of a 17 year old boy who was over 400 pounds and then a story about "super obese" individuals living in a retirement home.

1. I want to live a long, healthy life.

2. I do not want to have a stroke, heart attack, or cancer.

3. I need to prepare my body for creating and birthing my children.

4. I want to serve my students as best as possible.

5. I want to wear a bikini for the first time in my entire life.

6. I want to smile at the thought of buying clothes.

7. I want to be able to walk for miles without getting tired.

8. I want to grin when I see myself in the mirror.

9. I do not want food to control who I am or how I act in public.

10. I want to be me.

This motivated me to write up my own list as to why I don't want to stop exercising. Thanks for the idea!

What a wonderful list. I have so many of the same on my list. Although I have to add to it.

Don't want my DDs friends teasing them about their fat mom.

Having problems with circulation in legs and losing weight would help- have awful ugly wounds due to this.

Already had a heart attack which left me with two stents 7 years ago - don't want another one!

Ashamed cause I am sure DH is embarassed to be seen with me even though he claims he is alright. I want so badly to believe him.

Want to be able to go places with my family without slowing them down and huffing and puffing cause I am out of breath from being so heavy.

OMG the list could go on and on but I am starting to cry and can't see the screen.

You're making me cry too Hon!

I want to be comfortable in whatever clothes I'm wearing.

I want to be healthy.

I'm worried because I just quit smoking & don't want to pack on those extra pounds by snacking.

I want to be sexy!

I don't want my shorts to ride up when I walk.

I want to be in the 2007 1/2 marathon.

I wanna be like those cool girls at the gym who run forever with ease.

I want to be comfortable in a bathingsuit.

I could go on & on & On!
