My partial list in no particular order: 

1) to run and play with my daughter, 

2) to share PJs with my hubby, 

3) to climb stairs without getting winded, 

4) to wear Levi's jeans, 

5) to raise my self-confidence, 

6) to be healthy, 

7) to help others in their struggle with weight, 

8) to get looks from strangers for good reasons, 

9)to wear "hip" clothes, 

10) to look good at the beach.  

There are so many more reasons.

And anything else you want to tell us: Now that I've posted that true-telling picture of me, you'd better believe that I'm going to do something about it! I hide my weight really well with my clothes--that's why I picked that outfit to wear. It tells the true story, that which I've tried to hide. There's no going back now! Onward, ho! Can't wait to post a new and updated picture of me! The incredible shrinking woman! Updates January 14, 2002 - Lost 4 pounds. January 21, 2002 - Lost 4 pounds.
