- To fit into old jeans the way I used to, not stretching every fiber within a millimeter of it's life, if I can even get them on that is.
- To feel better. The heavier I am, the slower I feel.
- To not HAVE to wear a swimsuit that covers my stomach.
- Because there's high blood pressure and cholesterol in my family, and it's in part preventable.
- Because I've seen what not eating and exercising does to everyone else in the family with the same genes. Yikes!
- I want to develop good habits now, before I don't have a choice for medical reasons.
