This is simple. I was tired of being obese and unhealthy! I was tired of feeling depressed and unhappy. So, I changed. Now I have a new found happiness and purpose in life. I want to have a positive impact on those around me. I couldn't do that if I was unhappy with myself and the direction my life was headed. I am far from perfect and have SO much room for improvement, but I fully believe that one day I will be completely happy with myself, my body and my life.
