I’m starting a list of reasons why I want to lose weight and get healthier, in hopes it will help motivate me. The idea is that when I start becoming tempted to eat someting non-diet-friendly, I get a mental picture of all of the reasons why, which helps me turn away from the food.
So.. reason number one: Diabetes. My paternal grandmother had diabetes (type 2), but not until she got older. With all of my weight issues over the course of my life, and my Hispanic heritage, I think I’m probably a good candidate for it… and it sounds really really awful.
