My motivation to lose weight is similar to Superaunt. I saw a picture of myself and was horrified
My Mom is tiny, my sister is tiny so maybe I just assumed I was...wrong!
My sister is getting married in Maui in October and I will be damned if I am going to be the fat one on the beach looking miserable. I love my sis too much for that.
Lots of people say you have to lose weight for yourself, when you are ready. I agree with that, but I also think you do have to consider your loved ones who worry about you as well. Honestly, if I had to wait untill I was ready, I dont think I would ever start since it is so much easier to keep eating crap and sit on the couch but seeing my family, who have never pressured me to lose weight, look at me...I feel so bad. And seeing those pictures of me was the push I needed to start LCing.
