My Weight Journal

Reasons

Some of these I no longer have to “endure”.  My highest weight of 310+ was back in 2010.  At that time “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 was working full time. I don’t think I ever had a problem with confidence.  But I think subconsciously it bothered me.  As I have come down in weight things change – but many of these things I will always remember how it feels and  many of these I still need to conquer!

• Clothes fit and look better
• Better health, fitter
• Sit in any chair
• Look better in swimsuit
• I’m in the “clothing size” I want, I don’t care what the scale says
• Don’t worry about getting stuck in a turn style – find a wider opening
• So I’m comfortable in booths in a restaurant 
• So my pants won’t wear out between my legs while the rest of them are still in good shape
