In the beginning was and is another person. I fell in love online. Something I never thought I would do in a gazillion years.
The guy I was with for the last 17 years likes big girls. After I fell in love online and started losing weight, he left me for another big girl.
My motivation is still the man of my dreams (he loves my heart, not my body but like me he wants me healthy so I live longer to be with him

) but once I lost my first 30lbs... that also became part of it. I thought WOW! Look at me go!
Then when my Dr. lowered my diabetic meds, that also became part of my motivation!
I can't exercise yet, as I am still nursing a foot wound.. though I did start lifting 3lb weights yesterday.
Motivation for that will be hard, until I see some kind of results.. as in more strength, lower blood sugars and more weight loss from calories burned.
