Here are my reasons, how about you?

• To be there for my kids and watch them grow up and have grandkids
  
• Better sex life
  
• To be able to keep up with my kids
  
• To be able to fit on rides at Walt Disney World
  
• To be able to go hiking
  
• To not have to worry when I am going to get diabetes or other health problems
  
• To not have to worry if I die if there will be a coffin big enough
  
• To buy clothes because I like them, not because they are the one pair in the store that fit
  
• To not be ashamed of having a family picture taken
  

If not now then when?

I think many of us would have a lot of the same reasons for why we want to lose the weight. Here is a list of some of my top reason.

• To feel like a normal person again
  
• To be able to shop in regular shopping stores
  
• To be able to enjoy running again
  
• To be fit as my son gets older
  
• To be around a long time for myself and my family
  
• To be able to enjoy intemacy with my wife more
  
• To be able to fly on airplanes and not ask for the seatbelt extension
  
• To feel like I can go in public and not be stared at
  

The list really can go on and on.

Oh yeah, the seatbelt is on my list too!

I know these aren't new or unique reasons, but I think it helps to say them out loud to have clear intentions and I am too embarrased to say them to people in person.
