Overall, I just want to feel and be healthier, but in a more superficial way, I want to LOOK better. The reality for me personally, my mental health is way better when I actually feel good about myself. (Not saying you couldn’t or shouldn’t feel good about yourself at a heavier weight. This is just me personally)
Also, I might be a bit of a hypochondriac. My mother-in-law, who I loved like my own mom, passed away in may. She had type 2 diabetes and died by a massive heart attack at the age of 55. She was 270lb and both me and my SO were devastated by it, and we still are. She didn’t manage her diabetes well at all, and we feel for certain that she would still be here with us if she was at a healthy weight. I had gestational diabetes with baby #2 and I know that increases my chances of developing type 2 later in life. I don’t want to struggle like I know my MIL did. I don’t want my family to have to beg me to take care of myself and be heartbroken when I don’t. I want that long active life with my kids, my grandkids, my SO. I don’t want the love of my life to become my caretaker and mourn me before I’m even gone.
I feel like there are a lot of variables for someone’s ‘why’ and it got me wondering other peoples ‘why’s’ that keep them going! So what’s yours?
