Good motivations – especially the last one

Congrats on being so in tune with your body. So many people (such as myself sometimes) walk around disconnected to the cause and effects of their actions.

Not wanting surgery is good motivation.

I know that feeling all too well.

Anger works so well for many people but not so well for me. I like the days I feel good the best and that is always when the weight is down and I can move faster and without pain or grimace.

I want to prove I can do this – I have experienced so much that I want to not be the first to have diabetes in my family or the first to have anything else go wrong with me, I don’t want to take pills…I believe they make it worse…I watched pills keep my mother living and dopey and that was not pleasant…but I also saw my 94 year old mother bone on bone everywhere in her body unable to get up and down from a sitting position and I thought if she had been a better exerciser that would not have been her plague.
An MRI just showed I have no arthritis any where in my body…this is a good sign. I have worked my BP down to normal and off medications by loosing weight and eating correctly…I am doing this for me, myself and I….I don’t wish to be dependent on my children or impoverished
Love those endorphins when they kick in…exercise is not my favorite but I just do it

Health. I don’t want to be the old lady bent over with osteoporosis. I don’t want to be dependent on a motorized chair. I don’t want be unable to walk a flight of stairs without wheezing. I don’t want to be unable to keep up with my mind!…it wants to GO! I want to be the very healthy and active 90-year-old I see in my mind, interested in everything and being as active in those interests as I can be.

I LIKE the way my body feels when I’m lithe and limber, mobile and active!

And I want to fit into my favorite jeans.
