ReplyDeleteWe WILL do IT!
It's good to have all of these by heart so that you can look back one day and say NEVER AGAIN....
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost - to be healthy!
Great list! And it's a good idea to remind ourselves of the reasons we want/need to lose weight!
ReplyDeleteI posted it on my fridge and on the bottom of my blog to help remind me =)
ReplyDeleteI'm quite sure you are going to achieve that list. Even once you have, keep them there so you never have to redo the list. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are excellent reasons and I beleive your going to check off each one of them as your journey continues ! Posting them on your fridge is a great idea, I have my before/after pic on my fridge to remind me where I was and how far I've come....especially when I am tempted to snack at night !
ReplyDeleteGREAT list!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome list - I may steel some of those from you!
ReplyDeleteI am insulin dependent and I know its a struggle because with insulin, you can eat whatever you want - just give yourself more insulin!
My highest weight was 210 in 1999 - I did WW and by the spring of 2000 I was 137 - and maintained that until I was put on insulin two years ago - I've gained 30 pounds in two years!
I decided I just need to take it day by day, and the so called "end" will get here when it does. I am going to add you to my blog roll if you don't mind! Let me know if its okay before I do, okay? I know some people don't like that :D
I love #7!
ReplyDeleteawesome list... i can't wait to see you achieve each one... thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSure Biz319! I wonder why someone wouldn't like it... I say the more the merrier! Each of us has something unique to contribute to the mix right?
