All I want...

I've written a lot about what I'm doing to accomplish my goals here, but not very much about what my goals are and why I want to lose weight.

Goals:

• Lose 100+ lbs (I'll reveal the actual number as I feel more confident and comfortable here)
• Reach my goal weight of 150 lbs
• Shop Regular Size Clothing
• Gain Strength
• Gain Energy
• Increase My Life Span
• Be Healthier

Why:

• I don't want to feel tired all the time
• I want to be able to play with my daughter the way she wants me to
• I don't want other kids to tease her from having a fat mom
• I want to live long enough to watch my grandchildren get married and become a great-grandmother. 
• I don't want to hurt the way I do now.
• I don't want to become sicker
• I don't want to leave a fitting room in tears because nothing fits
• I want to feel proud of my body
• I don't want my pain and fatigue to rule my life anymore
• I want to walk away from the doctor's office without having received a long lecture
• I want to feel like I fit in 
• I want to accomplish something amazing

I will accomplish these goals and more. I'm beyond excited to watch my body change. Already I'm beginning to notice a difference, especially in my lower abdomen. It's also been a little easier to get things done around the house. My energy level has been a bit higher, thank goodness!
