I've been thinking about this all weekend and wondering why. I remember all the other times I wanted to lose weight - it was for my dh, it was for my kids, it was for my dad (when he was living). He always gave subtle hints about my weight and I can remember when I was a teenager, him always making me weigh myself with him looking at the scales. I hated it (and him at the time) for making me do that.
This time though, the only person I'm doing this for is ME!!!!! I need to get my b/p subscription refilled in 6 months and I want to walk in and have my physician tell me I don't need them anymore. I'm excersising because I'm getting a high from it, not because someone is telling me I need to do it. It makes ME feel good. I've decided to go vegetarian because its what I've always wanted to do, but others have always told me, don't do that, its not good for you. I'm doing it for ME.
I'm working at making a Lifestyle change because I want to feel healthy and look good for ME, not for anyone else.
Will others benefit from it, probably. My kids will because I'll be healthier, dh will because I'll look good, but even if there wasn't any benefits for anyone else, those benefits are for ME ALONE!!!
Have you thought about why you want to lose weight? Are you doing it for YOU alone or for everyone else.
Any thoughts?
