I haven't been here in quite some time....I know...I'm sorry. I've managed to STILL maintain my weight loss from WW, but I want to lose another 40 pounds before my wedding in October.

The problem is...WHAT IS MY MOTIVATION? I need help here people! Usually someone's motivation is for their health, image, family, etc. But I'm not married, I'm not scared of a heart-attack or some fat-related disease, and I don't have a family. So what should be motivating me? I'm not one to really care about my image either...so being a fat bride doesn't scare me either---my dress still fits.

I want to lose weight because daily tasks are getting harder. Plus, I'm seeing everyone else around me lose weight. Should jealously be my motivation? My co-workers are losing weight, and my best friends, my sisters are losing weight....it sucks they can do it and I have tried and failed several times! Wouldn't that make me a bad person for being jealous??? What are your thoughts?
