What is your inspiration to lose weight?

What is your inspiration to lose weight? Mine is a 2 month and 3 day old little girl named Katelynn. My grandniece. I want to be around for her if she needs me. She is one of my inspirations to lose weight. Plus I want her mommy, aunt, and two uncles to see me in a different look than being overweight. I've been overweight their entire life and I don't want Katelynn to see me like this growing up. Plus I want to chase her around the house, get down on the floor and play with her, and be there when she gets married and has her own family. Plus whenever her parents have more kids.

Today wasn't too bad of a day. Went to Bushnell, IL twice today. One was to go and get the two dogs that belong to the guy who runs the garage here in town. His wife has her insurace agency down there and the dogs were there. Then we took a Caddy SUV down to get something checked under the hook in the afternoon. Then we went to Galesburg, IL, to run errands for the same garage. Tomorrow is chiropractor appointmet for dad (going to take dad's oldest brother with us) and back to Bushnell, IL, for an alignment. The place we're going to do the alignment job is the same place we had the SUV at.

Today wasn't too bad. Don't think that it got into the 90s at all. I think that it stayed in the 80s all day. That's good. Tomorrow I'm not so sure about. I think in the 90s. We're suppose to get some rain tonight but I'm not sure. I hope so. We REALLY need it.

    My inspiration is family also, but in a different way. My mother died of breast cancer when I was 21. That has sort of hung over me, for years I wouldn't get a mammogram because I was afraid of what I might find out. One day a friend told me he would tie me up and drive me to the mammogram place if I didn't make an appointment. Turns out his mom was a breast cancer survivor and he feels she wouldn't be alive if she hadn't gotten mammograms so that her cancer was detected early. Well, I know that being overweight is a risk factor for cancer and I'd like to up my chances of avoiding that diagnosis.

    My inspiration is Physical Freedom. I want to be able to move freely, travel comfortably and not always be making decision that put limits on me because I am overweight. I imagine a future where decision do not have weight as a consideration.
Your grandniece is so lucky to have someone who wants to be around for her if she needs. I don't have any grand kids yet but hopefully I will in the future and then I will embrace them as inspiration.
