So what is my MOTIVATION to lose the pounds?

Posted by admin on Feb 7th, 2010 | 1 comment

OK, so I’m fat, I get it, in fact I have been overweight since I was around 22 years old, I am now 40 years old.

That’s 18 years, a fair whack of my life. As at the start of my programme on 6th February 2010, I am 127.4KG.
I have fluctuated between an average of 115KG and 130KG for most of that 18 years, only dipping below 115KG
a few short times.

So what has changed? Why now?

Well, I believe at some stage in life you just “get it”. Some get it at 25, or 30, or 35, or even 55. My time is now.
Maybe turning 40 did have an effect on me. You realise, “Hey I’m probably about halfway through my life” and you
kinda start thinking about hanging around long enough to see your kids grow up and make a life for themselves.

I also want to come out of retirement and play some sports I used to when I was in my teens and twenties.
And I want to look good for my lovely partner Sarah (in the pic).
And I want to fit into all these designer clothes I have bought over the years that are still new sitting on the shelf.
But most of all, I want some self confidence back in how I look, not be embarrassed each time I go to the shop.

I would LOVE TO HEAR your story and supportive comments on my blog. Please join in and we can motivate each other as a group!

Cheers,

Mark
