That question.....Why do you want to lose weight? 
..... is one of the most important questions you need to ask yourself in order to succeed. What are your reasons for wanting to lose weight? Is it for health issues? Your appearance? To improve your self-esteem? Do you have a plan for reaching your goals? What obstacles do you need to overcome? We each need to personally think seriously about these things. 
I suggest you grab a pen and do the following.
1). Make a list of every reason you can think of for why you WANT to lose weight.
2). Make a list of reasons why you SHOULDN'T or CAN'T lose the weight.
Then analyze whether these are legitimate reasons or just excuses. Give yourself a big red checkmark next to the excuses!!! 
3). Next make a list of any obstacles you forsee that might hinder your weight loss efforts.
4). Now next to these obstacles write down one or two things you can do to overcome these problems.
:
5). And now I want you to write down how you invision your life will improve by reaching your goals.
Post this list on your fridge, or somewhere visable, to remind yourself from time to time just why this weight loss journey is worth the effort! Because it IS worth it! Because YOU are WORTH it!!!
I have faith in us! We can do this!!! Let's kick some major fat cell butt!!!
