Another thing that motivates me is just growing older. I see other people around me that are 10-20 years older.(I'm almost 42) I watch them begin to struggle to get around and it truly makes me get up and move and stay healthy. I remember how I felt before I lost the weight. I felt horrible by the end of the day. It hurt when I started working out. My body rebelled. My knees and hips hurt so bad. As I began to lose the weight and get healthier my body thanked me. I felt so much better. It was almost like waking up from a long nightmare. I didn't truly realize how bad I felt for so many years until I knew what it was like to fell good.
Feeling good and not bad motivates me. The thought of being active well into my 70s and 80s motivates me. Not ending up using a walker or wheelchair later in life motivates me.
