There are worst things than being fat

I realize this blog is about trying to lose weight, but I feel like I may need to clarify my reasons for some. First, I am vain. I do want to be thinner and look better in my clothes; but I don't have a desire to be super skinny. I just want to be healthy. Truly, I just want to be able to keep up with my daughter through out the day. I want to chase her around the yard and not get tired and make her go inside because I'm tired. I want to be able to run a mile again in under 7.5 minutes just because I enjoyed it so much.

With all of these things that I want, the honest truth remains that I am happy with who I am. I am blessed to have a husband who doesn't care about my weight (just my health). He's always encouraging and I truly believe because of him I have become comfortable with who I am as a person (physically and spiritually) and have grown to be a better person than I ever would have been without him. So I'd like to thank him for being him; because without him, I wouldn't be me.
