Why do I want to lose weight?
Posted in Weight Loss Journal

Hmmmmmm...my need to lose weight boils down to:
- general health
- self-esteem
- wear more clothes in my closet (instead of having to buy new ones)
- reduce risk of pregnancy complications (the Brachial Plexus Injury that affects my youngest son is more common w/overweight people)
- look like "myself" again
- my husband would never say anything but i know that he appreciates me thinner
- choosing to exercise self-discipline (pun intended)
- my body is the Lord's but it sure wasn't looking like it :)
- more energy
I have always tried to be an active person. I have not always tried to be choosy about what I put in my mouth. I've been convicted spiritually about taking care of my temple and not just being OK b/c I don't smoke or do drugs. The saying that "you are what you eat" is so true and I've battled junk food addiction and emotional eating for a long time.
Can you say medium pepperoni pizza w/ a rootbeer and braum's hotfuge sundae every week for a year while watching ER (about 9 years ago)....bad habits add up!
and last but not least...
- post babies stomach blues...it's amazing what a 10 pound object can do to your stomach wall :( ...not to mention a c-section....it's a mess...I'll have to blog
