Introspection
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why I want to be thinner, more fit, whatever you want to call it. It really isn’t for my health, no matter how much I would like it to be. Really it is to feel more accepted and loved. I find myself wondering how my life would be different if I felt attractive again. I believe I would have more self confidence. How would finally being fit affect my life for the better? I also worry that even if I do make it to my goal, that I won’t be content. I’ll just wish I could recapture my youth, or get trapped in the pit of nostalgia.
I guess I better get to the point where I have met my fitness goal before I worry about anything past that point.

For what it’s worth, I used to know someone in college who didn’t kick the smoking habit until she heard it was bad for the skin. To her credit she thought it was pretty silly that that was what it took, worrying about her appearance. Anyway, I guess my point is that we can all use a place to start, but we still get the health benefits along the way….
