Motivation

I'm fat. Period. I've been trying to lose weight forever. That's a big fat lie actually. I should say that I've been THINKING about losing weight forever. I've tried Weight Watchers quite a few times, and honestly it works. However, I always lose motivation. I always start off doing really well and then somehow lose the motivation. I was fat for not only my wedding, but also fat for other people's weddings. If I couldn't motivate myself to lose some weight for weddings, what will motivate me to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle?

I finally found the answer! Last night my sister and I were talking about our trip to Disney World in 2011. Anna has never been there, so I was telling her all about it. I decided to show her my "Disney Vacation Planning Guide" dvd that I had sent away for. It had videos of all the parks, attractions, shows, restaurants etc. As I was watching it, I couldn't stop but getting excited like a little kid. I honestly couldn't wait until I was able to ride Dumbo, the teacups, and Aladin's Magic Carpet ride, along with the roller coasters! Then I had a vivid reality check: I'm gonna be too fat to fit into the rides.

Nothing is more embarassing then being kicked off of a ride because the lapbelt won't fit. Unfortunately, I know first hand. At our local theme park it happened to me while I was with a group of kids at work, and not only they saw it happen to me, but my coworkers saw it as well. I never want to feel that humiliation in front of my children.

I have decided to be skinnier for our Disney trip! It will give me 2 years to lose the weight safely and in moderation. I haven't talked to Dan about it yet, but hopefully he will make the same goal with me so both of us will be able to ride a bunch of rides with our children. I want to be able to do everything as a family. I honestly can't wait. I think this will be the perfect motivation! When do I start??? After Benjamin's birthday cake is finished... we wouldn't want it to go to waste now would we???? haha

P.S. Happy Birthday to my little Boo Bear. He's officially 3 years old today and I am such a proud mommy!
