Cynthia's motivation

My motivation is mostly to just feel better. It seems like in the last few years that health problems just keep popping up, and most would at least be reduced by losing weight.
Though I struggle minute by minute, I have changed my eating habits to much healthier ones, but am still trying to get a handle on portion control and regular exercise. I have been going to WW for 8 months and am averaging about 2 lbs a month. That is not a rapid zoom zoom rate but at least it is steady is remarkably slow. I struggle with tracking and have switched back and forth from points to filling foods repeatedly trying to find a routine that works and doesn't cause me to obsess about food.
I want to be active with a minimum of pain and have the flexibility and strength to do the things that I love, such as hike, go to a waterpark, and play games with my family. I don't have any grandchildren but would like to be able to play with all of the little ones that keep appearing on both sides of the family. I don't like hearing you are too big for that, or saying I can't do that.
Oh to be fit again as when I was young. But I would never consider going back.
I also want to set a better example for my kids and help them to never get in this situation. Looks do matter, but I am learning to dress for where I am today. I would really like to buy my clothes in regular sizes rather than the big women's department. I will always be short, but at least not so pudgy. To be just overweight and not "morbidly obese" on the BMI charts. That is my main goal along with stopping or reducing some of my daily meds.
Enough of the ruminating, I made fruit salad for supper with a no fat yogurt and orange juice dressing over blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, plums, and bananas. I call it my red-white-and- blue salas. It was very, very good.

How about the rest of You losers?
