Why do I want to lose weight? Why do you want to lose weight?
Some of these I no longer have to “endure”. My highest weight of 310 was back in 2010. A t that I think I worried about a lot of these items. That sounds strange “I think” but I never thought a lot about my weight. I was still active. I still had confidence. But I think subconsciously it bothered me. As I have come down in weight things change – but you remember some of those feelings of back when… Many of these I still need to conquer!
