The things that inspire me to continue are much the same as many listed here. Including, being able to buy regular size clothes, being able to wear sexy shoes with a dress, being able to go out at night again to play pool and not feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. Not being treated the way overweight people are treated (it's amazing but the more space you take up, the more "invisible" you seem to become).
That lift in my self-esteem is something I am so looking forward to. I want my confidence back! I want to live a long time, and be healthy doing it. I want to be more active again. I want to DANCE again.
All good reasons for losing weight, and as for LCing - I feel 110% better following this WOE than I was before. I used to feel exhausted and fatigued ALL THE TIME. Now I feel so much better - the thought of feeling that way again is enough to keep me from "cheating" or straying from the Atkins WOL.
Finally, I've been around the internet a good bit, and seen lots of forums, but the LCers who post here are smarter, more eloquent, kinder and more supportive than I've found anywhere...who wouldn't want to stick around just for that?
