My reasons for losing weight are simple-ish (okay, not really):
I mean, obviously I want the health benefits that come with losing weight... but moreover, I want the confidence aspect.
As of recent, I've been traveling this summer: Philly, Boston, the Cape, Vegas, Nantucket and Barbados in a little less than a month. One constant in all of these trips is all the self-consciousness and 'blah' feeling.
-From the fear that I'll need a seat belt extender on the flight to always choosing a seat in the back of the plane so I don't have to bump up against people as I walk down the aisle to use the restroom.
-From the inability to wear 'cute' traveling shoes because my feet are killing me after 1 hour of walking around a city to the getting too tired to walk around all day and needing to rest every hour or so at a coffee shop or restaurant.
-From feeling like 'Ahhh it's okay to indulge, it's not like I'm in this city all the time' to the, as I call it, Eater's Remorse after I eat a 1500 cal meal
It's been a rollercoaster, to say the least and that's why Iwant NEED to lose weight.
Moreover, I have noticed that the biggest if not main MAIN rootcause to overeating and unhappiness is a confidence issue. I'm not saying that after I lose all my weight that I'm going to have 100% confidence-yeaaaa!... I am saying that I feel my biggest downfall and hurdle is my weight. I am a confident person, but when it comes to my weight and the way I feel about myself in the morning... Oyyy.
To be quite honest, these past few days I've been hitting it hard at the gym, I walk with a little skip in my step. Why? Because I know I'm in the RIGHT direction and that I'm taking the necessary steps to look 'Ohhhh GOOD gracious, @$$ is bodacious!'... ya hear?
Anywho, going back to the whole vacay situation... I'm going to Barbados and let's be honest, you know my fat ass aint getting into no swimsuit. I have NEVER worn a bikini and doubt I ever will... at least not w/o some serious reconstructive surgery (ie: tummy tuck, etc.). But one day, I'd love to wear a bathing suit and feel somewhat 'okay' with it.
Andddd lastly, I yearn to fully love myself. I know I love myself, but definitely not all of Augustina is loved by Augustina. Now THAT needs ta change.
Why do YOU want to lose weight/maintain your weight?
