Reasons for these changes

I don’t take very many of me and my husband because of my weight, but living a long wonderful life with him is my reason number one. The next reason is that we want a baby, but at my current weight, it’s not a possibility. Plus, I want to be a healthy mom and raise my kids to be healthy so they never experience these struggles. The next reason I’m doing this is that I’m planning a trip to Harry Potter World and Universal/Disney in February of next year and I want to be in shape so that by end of day one I’m not dead (because we are going for 10 days). Another reason for me is that my hubby and I are renewing our vows next year for our five year anniversary because we were married in Vegas and so many of our loved ones couldn’t make it. Plus our photographer had a last minute family emergency and so we have NO pictures of our wedding except a quick snap shot of the two of us on the top of the Stratosphere. Another reason is that a picture of me with a big group of my friends is so rare. I hate the way I look in photos and how self conscious I am to get my picture taken. I want to lose weight so that I can actually enjoy moments with my friends and capture them without only being worried that I look so big in all of the pics that I’ll just want to delete them later. My final reason is probably one of the most important. I am doing this for me. I want to be healthy and live a long happy life. I want to be a role model and inspiration to all the others who think (like I have for a long time) that they can’t do it. I want to prove that they can, that I can. Because I’ve always been able to conquer anything that I have put my mind to, except losing weight and that should be NO different. I have started my journey and don’t plan to stop until I reach goal, setbacks be dammed!
