It's On!

Chris and I challenged each other this morning to lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving. I know we can do together but together is the key word. I need him to be strong and he needs me to be strong. We need to cheer each other on and keep each other from making bad decisions. We have DONE this before successfully and we have said that we would do it and been unsuccessful more times than I can count.



The reasons for me to do this are beginning to add up to the reasons that we started the challenge. I need to put a list of reasons down on "paper" so that I can look back at it and be held accountable for it. As it stands today, these are my reasons that I need and want to lose weight:

• I have no clothes that fit anymore.
  
• Last year at this time I had lost a total of 160 lbs and now my total is 100.


• I don't feel "good".


• I want to feel attractive again.


• I want children and I want to be healthy enough to have them and enjoy them.


• I want to not be so sweaty (although I have always had this problem, it is worse when I am too heavy).


• I want to go to Disney and not be tired walking around all day and I want to not be uncomfortable on the plane ride down there.

Chris - I hereby challenge you to post a list of the reasons you want to lose weight. I'd also like to know why anyone else who is still here wants to lose weight. Please share it with us if you feel comfortable enough. I want us all to succeed and I've found that when I have an actual list that I can look back at, it makes me more aware of my thoughts.
