This might be too personal a question for some of you, but if you don't mind sharing, what is your motivation for weight loss?
For myself - it's a bit of a complicated story. I've been talking to someone online for quite a while, and we get on incredibly well. I have feelings for him, and says that in a way he does love me, however more recently, my weight has cropped up as issue for him in the sense that he's just not attracted to me physically. It hurts to know that, but I understand it - I'm not going to resent him for having his own personal tastes! But my feelings for him have me in a position where I'm not willing to give up on the possibility of being together. Is that ridiculous? Perhaps it is, but I guess we all need to draw motivation from somewhere! I want to visit him next year around his birthday, but I want to look and feel my very best. He's incredibly supportive of me, and whatever happens, I'm sure we will remain friends. But it's important to me to see him, face to face and in person, at least once. And I'd like for him to be proud of what I've achieved, whatever happens between us.
So, that's my motivation. And it helps to announce it out loud (well... out loud online!) because it's another way to hold myself accountable.
