This is a question I anticipate coming up a lot in the next six months, why even bother trying? So this is a reminder to myself that this weight loss process will be hard but it will be worth it.
I want to lose the weight because:
1. I want to be a good example to my students
2. I want to have kids of my own someday
3. I want to set an example for my parents
4. I want to avoid the diseases that run in my family
5. I want to have the energy to get excited about life
6. I want to have a better way of handling stress
7. I want to grow closer to God
8. I want to glorify God through this process
9. I want to look good at graduation
10. I want to amaze my friends and family
11. I want to learn how to have deeper relationships and not just run to food
12. I want to have control over what I eat and how I feel
13. I want to feel strong and competent
These are just to name a few. They range from super serious to silly little benefits but they are me. So here it goes, let the transformation begin!
