You are still doing it for yourself because it is not like you are losing weight t for your loved ones to be happy, but because you feel happier while having more quality time with your loved ones because you lost the weight. Even if you get inspired by your loved ones, you are still doing it for yourself. And that is good isn't it? :D Right now I was writing an article on “doing it for yourself” and your post made me think… You are still doing it for yourself because it is not like you are losing weight t for your loved ones to be happy, but because you feel happier while having more quality time with your loved ones because you lost the weight.

I actully like forms of training (mostly strength training) and do it as a form of pleasure, for myself. But at the same time, some people want to look good because of how people precieve them. Maybe some do it for medical reasons. One thing is for sure, you need some form of motivation to keep fighting fit!

Fortunately for me, my husband has known me both fat and thin and loves me just the same. So while it is easy to get in the habit of ordering pizza Friday nights with mozzarella sticks on the side, it is ME that has to decide I want to be healthy for my husband and kids. He supports me 100%, so I am lucky in that respect! I kind of agree and don’t at the same time.

I still think that it is important to want to get healthy for yourself and yes realizing that you "deserve it" is also a valuable lesson. My thinking on this is can be summed up like this: It's easier to change my thinking or the way I view a problem than it is to change my personality. I am a "giver" that is who I am. I have a desire to help and get involved whenever I can. So I can use that part of my personality to motivate me to improve myself for the benefit of others. I am tired of fighting who I am and trying to do things the way they are "suppose" to be done and not doing them the way I think they should be done. That is not to say that I am always right though. I need to do what works for me, even if that means I fall flat on my face sometimes, which has happened :) Thanks for the comments everyone. Keep them coming, I like read all the different views you have. There is obviously a lot of different opinions on this topic.

In the end I decided it really is for myself. Its because I want to feel better. I want to be able to move more easily, dress better, feel more confident,just generally be more comfortable and less self consious. That isn't for anyone else its just for me. Maybe I am just selfish! Interesting article which made me think about who I am doing this for. In the end I decided it really is for myself.
