What's your inspiration and motivation for weight loss? - Phentermine.com

lovinmyair · May 18th, 2008, 08:08 PM

I just am curious what everyones motivation is for weight loss. For me my number one motivator is my daughter. I want to see my daughter graduate. Of course, there's the being healthy thing which for me is a given, but my daughter is my biggest motivator (she is 10 months old). What about everyone else?

To be a sexy milf.

LOL Raquel! Every time I have tried losing weight I have tried doing it for someone else. For example, the first time I tried I said I will do this for my hubby so that I will fell like he thinks I am sexy again...FAILED. The Second time I tried I said I will do this for my children so they will not be embarrased of me...FAILED! I have realized that I have to do this for me and no one else. I am finally ready to make the comittment and lifestyle change to make this happen. BTW... I wanna be a sexy MILF too!! LMAO!

My motivation is myself. My confidence, my health. I'm sick and tired of feeling this way ... it's time to take action and finally get to my goal!

I want to be around for my kids, for a LONG time. They are my everything. I have a lot of stuff I want to teach them so I can't be a sick, overweight mom. I need to be the mom who is there for them for all the big stuff in life.

Also, my own mother was never really healthy and almost always overweight her whole life. She is dying right now and it makes me sad that she won't see her grand daughters grow up. I don't want to repeat that cycle.

My inspiration is definitely my little son. I want to be around a long time. I want to see him grow and develop into a nice young man. I love him so much!

My motivation is finally getting rid of the Sleep Apnea and the CPAP machine, which helps me a great deal. The weight loss will help me do that.

Any of you women watched the Dr. Pepper commercial that came on a few years back? You know, when all of the women in the office gathered at the window at lunch time to see this construction guy take off his shirt and they almost faint at the sight of his tone and fit body? I want that!! Wifey is starting to do that now, which really feels good! She is very supportive with the weight loss. I love to hear the compliments and say things like, Oh, you think you sexy now! Look at you! ( I love to hear her say that) She doesnt know I'm taking Phen. But, she knows I'm working hard on becoming fit and healthy.
Bottomline, we all want to look fit, healthy and sexy. I'm not the only one who feels this way, I know!

First, it is my health. I take many high blood pressure medications and cholesterol medications. I have been taking a water pill for about a year to help with my blood pressure. Now I have started to retain water in my feet, so doc ordered up another water pill. I'm only 23 and my dad had a heart attack last year at 42. He now has 2 stints in his heart. My grandmother has many heart problems, and has 6 or 8 stints in her heart. Also, diabetes runs big in my family. My mom also has high blood pressure.
Basically, i'm tired of taking so many pills, and I want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I'm going to die.
Secondly, when I go out, I want guys to hit on me, even if I have a boyfriend. I want to feel attractive again, instead of a tub of lard.
Thirdly, I want to stop getting teased by my family. My brother always calls me fat, and my dad gets onto me for eating so much, it makes me feel like an idiot.
Fourthly, I want to buy some cute FREAKING clothes. I hate having to go to "special" stores to find my size. I want to wear something cute, and look good in it!
Last week I was at Ross, looking through the plus size section. Two skinny teenage girls came over there, not knowing it was plus size. They picked up a pair of pants and started laughing. They were speaking in spanish, but I understood what they were saying because I've taken many spanish classes. I was so embarassed, yet angry. I looked at them, and I could feel myself burning with hatred. I was burning for hatred toward myself, because I let myself get this way. After that experience, I was so embarassed, I left the store.
That's about all. It felt really good to type all of this up!
