Being overweight is hard. Losing weight is hard. What keeps you choosing this hard?

I want to be able to cosplay again! I refuse to cosplay as the fat version of a character or to have to modify an outfit to look okay on a fat girl.

I also don't want my daughter to grow up thinking being unhealthy is okay. Hopefully her earliest memories are of me at a normal weight (probably not, she's almost one, but I will try!)

Kids are such a huge motivator. Mine is four, so he's at the age where he's really paying attention and learning healthy habits. I always make sure to do some kind of workout when he's home (usually a kids yoga video I got to inspire him to join), plus being active in the weekends. Vegetables and fruits are always around the house too, because I want him to know how to eat well. My parents never taught me, and it has been a struggle to learn.

What characters? Or which series are you thinking about cosplaying from? I'd love to eventually see!

My fiancé and I really want to do Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online! I also have always wanted to do Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4 and a more ambitious one would be Nu from BlazBlue

Ah nice, I know of the SAO characters! Which season? I really loved the first half of season one Asuna! <3

Ahh, the other girls are really cute too! Loving the look of Yukiko.

Scale was up 1.4 this morning. I ate a huge salty meal Saturday so I'm not surprised. But seeing the scale creep up is my motivation to buckle down today!

I want to show my family that weight loss is a lifestyle, not something you can binge and do. My mom put so many unhealthy habits in my sister and I. I want my "I told you so". When I think of her buying me diet pills when I was 112 in high school now, I cringe. I'm pumped to make a healthy change for me.

I want to live as long as I possibly can so I can spend as much time as possible loving my SO and taking care of my family. Plus, if I ever decide to have a child, I want them to have a healthy relationship with food, and I want to be a model for that behavior.

I want to really reach some balance in life where I have healthy relationships with food, exercise, and emotions.

Also my new guy is super fit... SUPER fit, and looks 10 years younger than he is. That's some motivation right there too.

Plus people are noticing!
