Just back from a beach vacation.  People I met there made me feel great about myself even though my body is definetly not in the best shape it's been in for many years now.  Personality was the key to my success and made me see that image is not everything.  Even with a BMI indicates that I'm obese, I did not feel bad about myself like I have in the past.  Kind of put my motivation to lose weight in a different perspective. 

Before I left, I got a wake up call watching a tv show concerning heart disease and women.  To my dissmay, I presented 3 out of 5 symptoms for being at risk for heart disease... 

My goal, in previous (and failled) weight loss attemps, was looks.  I now understand that looks are a simple perk to losing weight.  I need to lose weight to extend my life expectancy, raise my energy level, avoid blood sugar and hear disease issues and finally, regain that 'feel good about myself' feeling that I brushed up with while I was away. 

This is the 1st day of the rest of my life.  Happyness and not looks is the key that I hold!
