I was recently asked,
What motivates you to maintain your own personal health, to keep off the weight you lost so many years ago?
For a long time it was fear of going back to where I was. After a while, it became a part of my identity. If I don’t maintain where I’m at, I don’t feel like myself anymore.Â
I also realized how much I was held back from experiencing when I was out of shape. Far more than I even realized at the time. A whole new world opened up to me. I’m motivated to ensure I never have to sit out of an activity that I want to take part in.Â
Those things together make for a pretty strong insurance policy that I’ll stay consistent with my fitness.
In the end, we all have to find our own reasons. For some it’s to get back to a hobby they love. For others, it’s to be able to get on the floor to play with the grandkids.
The right reason makes all the difference.
