oops, you weren't joking, were you?
J/K, you're right. But for me, vanity is a huge motivation. I love it. Maybe it works for me because when I don't look spectacular, and am not thin, I don't care that much. I mean, my self esteem isn't really connected with it. It's just that I feel extra super fab when the bod is in good shape.
But then, I've always been so very assured of my physical skill and prowess, and loved my body for that, no matter my shape. That probably helps, too.
