I want to be around as long as possible for my kids and hopefully grand kids. I want to be in less pain. And I want to build back the confidence I have lost over the years with weight gain. By accomplishing these goals I see a life that is more fulfilling and full of potential adventures. By not accomplishing them I see more of the same ol', same ol'. Anxiety about what I will look like, fear about what could happen if I tried new things, and what kind of pain I'd be in.
