Having lost 32 1/4 lbs in 13 weeks but not having such a great loss this week I decided to remind myself of why I want to lose the weight and keep it off.

Here is my list of motivations and why I am doing  this, writing them down helps me focus again and not be @issed of but remind myself a loss is a loss and in a few months time I will be where I want to be and enjoying all the benefits of being a much smaller me

1. I am getting married in September this year and want to look amazing and feel amazing
2. I want to break a 20 year cycle for good – to enjoy healthy eating and stop the binge eating cycle
3. I want to wear nice clothes and be able to go into any shop and buy anything I want, no more + sizes for me
4. Regain some self confidence
5. I want to be able to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath
6. Be healthy and fit when we decide to start a family so I can set a good example
7. To inspire others and friends I know who struggle with weight that if I can do it anyone can
8. To look good in a bikini on my holidays and my honeymoon in September
9. To feel comfortable in general
10. Extend my life expectancy
11. Lower any risk of health issues, I haven’t had any health issues because of my weight and will make sure I never do
12. Make my friends, family and most of all my partner proud of what I have achieved
13. Less lethargic and more motivated to get off my butt and do things instead of being a couch potato, although I have always loved TV
14. To be able to buy nice matching underwear
15. To be fab at 40 (2014) instead of fat at 40
16. Enjoy life to the full, you only get 1 shot, make the most of it
17. Feel lighter and less pressure on my joints – i’m already feeling the benefit of this being 32 1/4 lbs down
18. To have a happy relationship with food and to be in control
19. Portion control – big is not best
20. To not be the fattest person in my circle of friends
21. To be more active overall
