"What lies behind and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

What if your life depended on it? Losing weight that is. Without minimizing the well-documented physical life threats of true obesity (being more than 20 percent above ideal body weight), there are other genuine threats to life when we are even mildly overweight. Try these on for size and let them be motivation for true life and the next 5 pounds:

"As I lost weight I gained the self-confidence to speak up for things I thought were important at my child's school."

"As I lost weight, I gained the strength and vision to say "Can we talk?" when I was upset with someone at home or work."

"As I lost weight, I gained the ability to be myself and relax at social gatherings. I no longer needed to always be the clown to cover- up."

"As I lost weight, I gained the joy of comfortably playing with my grandkids instead of watching from a chair."

Ask yourself now "What if my life depended on losing weight?" You know the answer and you know what to do.

After all, it's for life.
