Advantages....

[rachaelpie]

I read somewhere that reading your "advantages" every time u feel weak reminds u of why u want to lose weight.
At least 10 are required and no silly ones.
I thought I'd post mine and see what yours are too; then we can remind each other why we are doing this and support one another

I'll look so much better
I won't be as self-conscious
I'll be able to wear smaller sizes
I can enjoy shopping for new clothes
I'll look sexier
Ill be happier when I look in the mirror
I'll be able to wear a bikini again
Ill be able to cross my legs properly
