What is your "WHY"?

Once again I have restarted Weight Watchers.  I have been successful in the past, but am such a stress and social eater.  But I need to dig deep and figure out exactly why I want to lose weight and find the determination to keep it off. 

A specific realistic reason can give me a concrete idea to focus on when I am feeling challenged in my weight loss journey.  To help me forgo that cookie that is calling my name at 8 pm, just before bed.

Motivation can evolve and change as my body and/or mindset does.   But first I need to figure out what that reason is.

Why do I want to lose the weight?  Is it to get healthier, to look better, to have a better self esteem?
What does it look like? Can I picture it in my mind?
What is my "I" statement?
Is my "I" statement positive?

I would like to loose weight so that I can feel better about myself and that my outer image matches the inner image that I have in my mind.    I am not concerned about feeling "more loved or respected."  I just want to feel healthier.
