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.
I know what you mean, but it's a bit different if you only need to lose 10 or 20 pounds as opposed to 75 or 100. It can really take years off of one's life.
