My motivation is a combination of things, to be thin, to be fit and healthy and to feel good about myself and not be "the fat one" anymore. I've NEVER been thin my whole adolescent and adult life, sure I was like a size 14 when I was 11 years old, and the first weight I remember being is about 10 stone, I was only 5 ft or something at the time probably. My Primary school teacher called me Fatty when i couldn't get my chair in enough for him to get past as my legs wouldn't fit under the desk thinking it may have also been my legs were too long though, which I told him at the time, but that hurt). I want to know what it's like to be able to go in any fashion store and buy something that FITS and not have to look for the plus size section or get "flattering" cuts of tops or dresses.
I want to be able to run for the train without being so out of breath I can't talk afterwards.
I want to do sports and not feel self conscious about wobbling bits or being too unfit to keep up.
I want to be able to keep up with OH when we go out for walks.
I want to ride a bike.
I want to be thin for our Christmas do this year so I can wear a stunning dress!
I want to do a charity run when I'm around target, something I'd never have contemplated before.
Not much then!
I feel I'm in the right mindset now though, I can refuse unhealthy snacks (and there IS temptation, we won a years worth of Cadbury's Heroes at work! a wall of my managers office is filled with them! I haven't eaten one!) I know if I have one I'll want more so I just think that I'd be sabotaging my own weightloss so don't do it.
All in all I want to be confident, healthy and full of energy
