Good Reason for me to go on a diet

I thought it would be of some interest to explain why I chose this time to go  on a diet again. I have been on hundreds of weight loss diets, 99% have not been successful  because not only didn't I do my preparation work, I never had any incentive other than it was good for me. Well so is liver but you won't catch me eating it.
No this time it was a world event that started me thinking.The earth quake and resulting tragedy  did the trick. I was heart broken when I read how quite a few of the elderly people were killed because they were unable to get away. The tsunami warning was sent out  but seniors were left defenseless as they couldn't move quickly.
My thought  WOW, if I had been living there I would no doubt be among the thousands listed missing or dead because I am way to heavy to run, never mind try to walk miles quickly.I get short of breath very easily, and my muscles literally cramp up. And this is after a casual day of strolling the malls.
I hadn't thought to mentions this and I feel that it is very important at least to me I do not want to die one day sooner that I have to, and if I do hopefully I will have been able to give it a real good fight.
So that was the start, and my determination  is as strong now as it was on that awful day.
I feel so terrible for all the families that lost their senior's We are needed for love, wisdom, and memories.
