Reasons I want to lose weight

[littlebearsmummy]

Trying to lose weight and struggling which is getting me down. In my head I constantly list the reasons I need to lose weight. Thought I'd put it down in writing.

My joints hurt (my knees kill me every time I stand up) and I'm not that old
I want to be a good role model for my children
I want to be around for my children!
I don't fit into any clothes
The clothes I do wear are baggy, cheap, stretchy and generally awful
I refuse to buy new clothes because I don't want to admit to the dress size I should be
I want to have more energy and not feel so knackered all the time
I don't want food (chocolate) to rule my life anymore
I want to exercise without feeling like I'll die
I don't want to be embarrassed when my husband walks in on me changing
I'd like to go swimming with my daughters (won't be seen in a swim suit)
My back aches and I think the weight must be a factor
I don't want to bump into old friends/family and feel embarrassed about how bit I now am
I want to start horse riding again
I want to be able to play with my children without huffing and puffing

I could go on rather depressingly!

I love clothes and the single one thing that would make me enjoy them more is weighing less.

I don't even care if that is shallow.

Good luck with your weight loss OP

The pain in your knees will go away when you lose weight.

Seriously.
My knees are nadgered.
Only by staying light do I avoid major surgery.
Do it.
Just do it.
Once your knees no longer hurt you will feel like a new you.

The rest of it is all secondary.
Not being in pain is just wonderful.
