Reasons, Goals, and Rewards - M

Reasons That I Want to Lose Weight

• To prevent future health problems that may [and WILL] arise from my unhealthy habits. 
• So I can stop feeling badly about the way that I look.
• To get in shape and start doing more physical things - running, swimming, biking, etc.
• I live somewhere where it's hot as hell. Literally. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and think I've died and woken up in hell. Being fat in a hot and humid environment is NOT fun. I'd love to be able to spend more time outdoors and not be miserable.
• To be able to wear cute and age-appropriate clothes. Most clothes that I can fit into have a very "old lady" look to them. 

Goals

Right now my goal is to get under 200 pounds. My ultimate goal is to weigh 160 pounds, but I'm trying not to get too bogged down in numbers. As long as I'm healthy (meaning I have good eating habits and I'm exercising regularly), I'll be fine with my weight. 

Rewards

For every ten pounds that I lose, I will reward myself with something. I don't know with what, but I'll update this after I've got it figured out. I don't want to go too crazy since I'm a poor college student, but I think it would be nice to treat myself to something for accomplishing a goal.
