You know, you hear it all the time that being overweight causes a ton of health problems, but as an overweight person, that didn't really get through to me. It was only after I started to lose the weight the first time around that I realized that this would be good for my health for real. That and exercising - I'm so glad that I'm starting to get into it, because I just keep hearing more and more how keeping trim and exercising will help you to live longer and avoid a ton of different health problems. So, I can now say that my health is actually a motivator for me to continue to do this right.
I saw an awesome episode of Oprah during the week of her "Oprah's Best Life" series, where they talked about Health as the topic - you can read more about it by clicking here. I still have the episode saved on my DTVR because it was so interesting and informative. There is so much I don't know about my body and science and whats good for me. Its something I'm starting to become more and more interested in.
Anyway, our health is actually very important - I think we all tend to put it last - but if we don't take care of our bodies, and they fail us - all of the other priorities would be for nothing. We need these bodies we're in and so we must treat them with care.
p.s. Is what you want at the moment best for your body? Don't give up what you want most!!!

When I had my stroke, the doctors identified my being over weight as one of the causing factors. So... I can support the value of Reason Number Seven.
