I have a huge history of heart attacks on my dad's side of the family and his death was the ultimate wake up call for me in high school to cut the shit and lose weight. Even today, people will ask me what motivated me at the time and what keeps me motivated to maintain a healthy weight. I always tell them, "I want to live." They always chuckle and say, "But, really, what is it?" No, really, I want to live to see 60, asshole.

I'm fairly certain that it was because they were all obese, but I've already been getting told to start taking baby aspirin when I am 40, lol. Been hearing it since I was 22.
