Up until recently, my motivations to lose weight and get fit centred around looking better. Now that I'm getting older, I'm starting to think more in terms of improving health, and not becoming couch-bound, like others in my family are .... NOT a pleasant prospect. Besides, who knows what the medical system will be like in 20-30 years, or if those who aren't wealthy will even have access to decent health care .... if I don't take care of myself, who will?
