Motivation For Getting Fit.

So lately, I've been binge watching The Biggest Loser. I feel like it's more productive than watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Besides, I haven't quiet reached that level of self control yet. I used to watch it while I worked out, but now, if I did, I'm afraid I'd eat the entire kitchen. Literally, counter tops and all. 
Anyway, in the Biggest Loser, they talk a lot about what their motivation is. For a lot of them it's their kids. Some of them it's health reasons. And some just don't like where they are in life and want to go some where else. (I think the $250,000 prize helps a little bit too.)
Anyway, it got me thinking why am I doing this?  Mostly, because I can't fit into my pants anymore, and I've been relegated to my skirts. Another thing is, I didn't like what I saw in my videos. I know other people may not notice things, but we're our own worst critic. I would watch my make up videos and just have this entire dissatisfaction with how I looked. The same for a lot of pictures. 
Another reason, I want to feel good about myself. I know people freak out when people are down on themselves. It's not always that. Sometimes, we're not satisfied with how we are. It's never a bad thing to get healthy. 
At work, my co-workers are all trying to loose weight. Some of them are doing crazy diets. (I commend them for staying with them. I can't diet. I get mean and then I binge eat--everything.) Others joined gyms. Again, not my shtick. I count my calories, loosely albeit, but I try none the less. I've found I enjoy getting up and working out in the morning before work. Mostly because it wakes me up in the morning, and encourages me to be more ready for the day. 
So I figured, I'd remind everyone to look at their motivation. On those days when you say no I don't want to. It's too hard, just remember your motivation.  It doesn't have to be the most important thing in the world either. For example, I used to work out because I wanted to be hot enough to be in a PitBull video. Noble motivation. Not really, but a motivation none the less. 

Just remember, when you want to quit, what made you start in the first place.
