Why I want to lose weight...

So I can be healthy
So I can wear my wedding ring again
So I can be more active (which I love)
So I can be a positive role model for my child
So I can wear smaller clothes
So I can take pictures with my family
So I can be more comfortable with who I am
So I can see my friends again (I lost touch with several since I was embarrassed that I gained so much weight)

This is just a list of things I think about and hopefully will motivate me to lose some weight.

I know this is going to be a long journey and I need to remember to be patient with myself.
