Here's a picture of my family from 2002. We're lined up in birth order. I'm on the far right - probably weighed about 156 in that photo, maybe 158. As you can see genetics does not incline me to be little.
My oldest sis on the left has lost about 100 pounds since this photo - courtesy of tongue cancer.
My real motivation has been wanting to do better in triathlon. Now that I can't race Athena, I have to race in my age group. Those early 40s women are FAST and tiny. I don't ever expect to win, but I'm a competitive person and I want to be in the top half. Even that is a stretch for me.
That's where my mantra comes in. I just keep thinking about what it is I REALLY want.
Veronica
