I like Ustwo's distinction between our sense of Need and Want with respect to motivation.
I'm faced with Need every so often, yet Want seems to pulse through my veins.
I only face the Need to deal with my expanding belly when I look in the mirror in the morning, or when my usual pants don't fit anymore, or at my regular doctor's appointment. On the other hand, I Want all day every day. Right now I want a chocolate chip cookie or two. That or fried mozzarella. I can imagine the taste and texture exactly.
I think I'm reaching my turning point though. I can now sense my belly's presence as I sit at my desk all day. I Need to lose weight and I Want to eliminate that nagging discomfort.
I'll keep you posted.
