I've battled with my weight for a long time. In my middle twenties I made a commitment to losing weight and got down to my target weight. I felt awesome, I was thinking clearly, I looked great, life was good.
I got married, had kids, and got a job programming and the weight came back.

I've battled with my weight for a long time. In my middle twenties I made a commitment to losing weight and got down to my target weight. I felt awesome, I was thinking clearly, I looked great, life was good.
I got married, had kids, and got a job programming and the weight came back.
Now my kids are 3 and 4 and want to go out and be more active, so I want to be able to do things with them, be it soccer, dancing, whatever.
More importantly I want to be around healthy and happy for a long time. I don't want to be a burden on them when I get older.
I also want to show them that it's important to balance food with exercise and it's a good thing to work at being healthy.

And now I feel panicked that I'm not losing weight fast enough, and I want to push myself harder and faster.
I know that I shouldn't push myself too hard, but I still want to lose weight faster. I want to see more results.
This makes me worry a little bit, but I'm keeping an eye on my calories nonetheless and counting the days until I can get back to pushing myself.
My arms are sore, my chest is sore, a fire burns in my gut, and I am ready for more.
I am hungry.
I'm very excited.
