So I was motivated over the course of my three-week hiatus to find something that was going to get me going again I came across this blog from a guy who used to weigh 344lbs and has lost over 125lbs this past year!!! Amazing!!! Well, anyway I was searching on google for motivation (in google search: how to get motivated to lose weight haha lame i know) and came across his blog. He had a list going of motivational reasons of why he wanted to lose weight, and after talking to a good friend of mine as well I decided that I needed to have them concrete somewhere as a constant reminder. So here is goes:
TOP REASONS
I have never really just felt good and I really want to know how it feels to have that feeling where you look at your self in the mirror and have that good feeling.
- Be able to shop with my friends as well as by myself
I have always usually tried to avoid going shopping with my friends mainly due to the fact that I can’t fit into the clothes that they wear, nor do I ever shop or go into the stores that they go into. I have always felt out-of-place. This isn’t just with friends, this is with my sisters as well, I mean isnt part of the fun of having all girls in your household is having an extended closest??? Well I have never known what it is to borrow something from my sisters because they are smaller sizes than I am, but soon enough that will change. As for the by myself part, I really do like shopping by myself, it gives me time to think and no added opinions, but sometimes when I go into a store I feel like everyone is looking at me like what are you doing in here there is no way you could fit in these clothes. So I would like to walk into a store with confidence.
- Wearing a sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts
I belive that the last time that I have ever worn sleeveless (meaning arms showing and no sweatshirt) had to be back in 3 or 4th grade…I am nearly 23 now. I live in southern California and it gets HOTTT!!! I often feel ridiculous for wearing a sweater in the summer, but I want to spare people from my chub. So I have always covered up.
- Running into people from your past and hearing how good you look
Ok ok I know this sounds weird but I hate running into people who I havent seen in a long time and they look great. I want to be one of those people where the person can’t help but be in shock. As for right now I will continue to avoid people who I see at the store haha!!!
I think that this is a little self-explanatory. I want to be able to put my best foot forward full 100% about it too instead second guessing myself.
I am often really tired throughout the day and I know that is due to lack of excercise. I shouldnt be this tired all of the time I am really young. I want to start the day out conquering it!!!
When you are heavier in size you are limited on what it is that you are able to do. I do not want to have any restrictions. I think that we hear no enough as it is I don’t want to be telling myself no due to the size that I am.
I want to live forever haha no I just know that if I continue to stay the weight that I am some serious issues will come into play in terms of my health, so I need to nip that in the bud now!!!
So being a So Cal girl (born and raised) everyone knows that we have amazing beaches. I would love to go to the beach in a bathing suit and not board shorts and a shirt and really get my tan on. I am tired of covering up!!!
Since being broken up it will soon come into play that I will be getting back out there…I am not completely ready for this yet, but I know that it is coming and I want to be 100% when it does because it will be my first time out there in my adult life…
