As the why get stronger, the how get's easier.
Give yourself compelling reasons to succeed.
Imagine yourself, in your mind, 20 years from now if you did not succeed, what would your life have been like over those 20 years if you continued to be overweight> What would you look like, what would you be saying to yourself, what would others be saying, how would you feel?
Now scrub that picture and instead imagine yourself 20 years from now, having successfully reached your ideal weight and having been at your ideal weight for the last 20 years. What would you look like, what would you have done and achieved over those 20 years, what life experiences would you have enjoyed, what would you say to yourself, what would others say, how do you feel now.
Which future is more compelling - you decide to be thin - nobody else can stop you from being thin if you really want it.

I never realised before I read this post that others have the same thoughts as me - planning paths through restaurants, scared of flimsy plastic furniture etc.
This post has made me feel so much better!!!
This post has made me feel so much better!!!
This topic has inspired me lots of times, I always read it when I feel like giving up, so here are my reasons:
To stop being the fat friend
To be in control of what I'm eating and have a healthy relationship with food for the first time in my life
To treat food firstly as fuel, and secondly as a pleasure
To buy a fabulous designer dress - and wear it!
To stop the looks of pity I get whenever I'm forced to physically exert myself (such as climbing stairs/steep road)
To go swimming without feeling like a beached whale
To stop my thighs from wobbling!
For my backside to be as pretty as my face haha
To get attention from guys I like and near my age, rather than old men who fancy a plump armful who looks like she can cook (and I cook rather well by the way)
To be able to run and jump and skip and hop without my chest attempting to take me out and everyone else with it
For my thighs to become estranged with each other, and never meet again!
For a lovely polka dot bikini.

To be confident
To be able to wear nice clothes
For my health to improve
To have a healthy relationship with food
To have decent male attention and not creeps and old men! Lol
To tell those people who bullied me in school 'LOOK AT ME NOW!' And shock them! :-D
And those are my reasons for losing weight!

Wow, these could all apply to me too. I'm definitely going to follow this thread.
The reason that has kept me going today is to be able to wear the lovely lingerie my OH bought in the size I was when we first met, not realising that a year into our relationship I had grown somewhat!

hiya all,
what a fab thread.. well i've yet to start the CD (starting next week) but i would love to be able to go into any shop and buy a size 12 or look lovely in a pair of jeans instead of my normal size 16's which are digging into me. I also want to lose it for obvious health reasons, for my 2 year old to better educate her about food and food choices, my hubby but most importantly for me to feel better and more comfortable with myself xx

My job is soon going to involve doing a lot of publicity and press and I don't want to be fat on screen. I also want to be as healthy as I can after a long time of being on the verge of death before my 30th birthday. I want a relationship, I want children, I want everything life can offer me and I'm ready to grab it all with both hands.

I agree with pretty much everything in this thread. I'mmeeting a friend for coffee tomorrow and i've been worrying since Thursday as I can't fit in the seats in Costa Coffee.
There's been a programme on TV this week (a repeat I think) called Fat Families and i've been sky+ing it for extra inspiration, and so far not one of the people on it has weighed as much as me.
My main reasons are
To have a bath (Obviously I shower every day but it would be lovely to relax in a bath occasionally)
To go swimming
To wear clothes that I choose because I like them rather than ones which cover every inch of me
To look forward to family gatherings (We don't meet that often and I come from a slim family so I dread these)
Mostly for my husband and children as they don't deserve the wife/mummy they have at the moment
