In light of my family’s new plan to “get back on track” and starting eating better and being more active, I have compiled my personal list of reasons to lose weight and get healthy. If, like me, you are looking for some motivation, maybe some of these will help! 
1. To feel better about my body again
2. To have more energy and motivation
3. To feel better physically (less aches, pains, and stiffness!)
4. To be a good role model for my children (less preaching, and more practicing!)
5. To improve my future health (family history of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, mental illness)
6. For better mental health
7. To feel proud of myself
8. To wear cuter clothes (especially all those ones packed away in my basement that no longer fit!)
9. Because it’s easier to shop for smaller sizes
10. To like what I see in pictures and in the mirror
11. To wear my wedding gown again (rock the dress session!)
12. So my wedding rings will fit better and I can actually take them off again
13. To be strong and fit
14. To set and meet new goals
15. To be an inspiration for myself and others
Check out some of my past pictures that I currently use for motivation!
