Very inspiring! Now, perhaps it doesn't apply to people who are losing 10, 20 or 30 pounds but, for obese people, the side effects of losing weight are extremely compelling. Here's a sample from my own list of side effects of going from obese to normal:
-Being able to grab my ankle with my hand while standing upright
-Being able to put on my socks easily
-Being able to turn in bed without feeling like a whale stranded on a beach trying to move
-Being able to securely lie down in the bath without water splashing out
-Being able to comfortably sit with my legs underneath my bum
-Smelling better because underarm fat is not blocking my sweat from dripping freely
-Walking confidenly without holding in my stomach
-Being able to shop for clothes I like in normal stores and not just in fat stores
-Walking in a skirt without having inner thigh fat rubbing and without getting a rash
-Being able to run after the frisbee in the summer and get it
Adverse side effect of losing the fat:
-Not being able to float on water anymore (As it is, I float like Jesus walked on water and need absolutely no accessories to lie down and float without moving for hours and hours if I wanted to.)
