I keep telling myself, I live a good life, I'm a good friend, & the excuse for my weight gain is too much socialising, while all this is good & well, I know plenty of thin people who also live good lives, are good friends, & who socialise too much! So the excuses have got to stop! NOW! I'm fat & unhealthy & I need to change!

So, here's to change! Cheers!

What are some of your embarassing/emotional/eye opening reasons for loosing weight?
I'm pretty much fed-up with everything about myself FULLSTOP! I hide behind the "I know I'm fat, but I have a really good life" phrase, because, quite frankly, it sucks!! I know PLENTY of think chicks that also have a "fab life", but it doesn't show in the size of the jeans they wear.
I've just gone through a spinal-fusion op (100% successful!)& the doctor says I have to lose weight, as it's putting additional strain on my spine.
I want to lose weight for me, just so that I can feel good again!
I hate having to pull the waist band of my jeans over my flabby tummy before I sit down!
I HATE being FAT!
