The below is a thought from Paulo Coelho (I wrote about his book last summer -- what a wonderful book it was!) via Wake Up Tiger (fun Aussie blogger who loves to rant as much as me!)
Paulo Coehlo cites this as one of his 'declaration of principles'. I love it!
Each human being has his own Personal Legend to be fulfilled, and this is the reason he is in the world. The Personal Legend is manifest in his enthusiasm for what he does. The Personal Legend may be abandoned for a certain time, provided one does not forget it and returns as soon as possible.
I can guarantee your Personal Legend is not losing weight -- you are more multi-dimensional than that. Your weight, however, may be getting in the way (either physically or maybe emotionally just taking up too much of your brain space). What are you excited about doing during your day? What are you holding back from doing because of your weight? What would you do first if you wake up tomorrow and the weight was gone?
Aren't those things worth pursuing? I have seen client after client learn how to stop obsessing about food...and weight...and what they ate or didn't eat... and you know what? That leaves them (literally) with more ENERGY to pursue their Personal Legend(s).
