Something good for myself

"I want to know that every day I am doing something good for myself." This is one of the reasons I want to live a healthier life. I want to do something good for me. At the end of the day I find so much satisfaction in the fact that I ate right, or I went for a run, or I declined the offer to go get a soda. I did something for me! I even feel like my pants fit looser, which is probably one of the best feelings in the world.

So all of you readers out there, because I know there are SO MANY, go ahead and be selfish-do something good for yourself! I bet you will love the feeling :)

Motivation

It always seems like I have plenty of things that "motivate" me, but never enough to take action.

My motivation includes:
Not needing a liver transplant (should be a huge factor right? Well, its easy to forget about)
losing the weight before I get pregnant
looking better in a swimsuit
more self confidence

But the latest motivation is probably the most petty. I want to wear these straight (not skinny, not jeggings) jeans from American Eagle. I really really love these, and I know the only way they will look good on me is if I were to drop a few pounds. Right now they would only bring out my flaws.

So, here is my plan. If I can lose 10 pounds, which would also allow me to drop a pant size, I will buy them. Man, why does it have to be so hard?
