Greater Convenience & Comfort

My number 5 reason to get in better shape is that being in shape is simply more comfortable and more convenient. Airline seats on long flights are more comfortable the smaller you are. Life is designed for the average person, not the overweight person - so all kinds of things get more convenient if one is in shape. There's a wider selection of clothes, activities, etc. Weight is no longer a consideration. You don't have to wonder if they have a scuba suit in extra large or whether you'll exceed the weight limit on the helicopter ride.

I'm not adding a new daily habit today because I haven't made any progress on the last one - drinking more water. I want to succeed at that one before adding another. I have continued to be very responsible with diet and therefore, I continue to lose weight. I'm sure this is because I had been consuming extra calories the last month or two, and stopping that probably is a help...no more pumpkin pie, whipped cream, cheese, etc. Also, I know my calorie intake is down from paying more attention to portion control, and sticking with a vegan diet all but one day this week so far.
