After reading a few posts were people talked about there motivation I want to share mine. In mid November i met a girl at a bar during an interns discount night event, she was pretty awesome and I got her phone number and we started hanging out, a lot. I quickly learned that she was moving away for another internship after December, but spending time with her was a blast. The thing is though even after going out with her and spending a good portion of time with her I never made a move. I told one of my friends this and she was in disbelief that we had not kissed or anything after going out for 2 consecutive weekends and once during the week between them.
This made me really reflect on why I hadn't tried and honestly it came down to that I thought I physically wasn't good enough for her and I couldn't imagine that she would want to be with someone who looked like me. We continued to hangout until it was time for me to head home for the holidays and for her to move to her new job. So I flew back, and well going home for the holidays pretty much equated to enjoying loads of amazing food and drinks with friends/family and I am okay with indulging when its vacation.
When I returned home from my holidays I decided that I don't want this situation to happen again. I no longer want my size to literally and figuratively weigh me down. I decided the next time I don't make a move on a girl won't be because of my self image, it will be because I have no clue if the date is going well or not!
So after I finished all of the Christmas chocolates, I started up myfitnesspal and started tracking everything to the best of my abilities, packing lunch to the office everyday, and making smarted food choices. I also got back to the gym (I changed up my work schedule to fit the gym in the mornings) and started couch to 10k. This self reflection hasn't led to a new years resolution of loose a bunch of weight, it has led the resolution to live a healthier lifestyle.
Thanks for reading and for this community being so welcoming and motivational.
TLDR; spent lots of time with a girl I liked, never made a move because I thought "she wouldn't want to kiss a guy with a big gut". Now I have decided to live a much healthier lifestyle so that this doesn't happen again!
