I'm sure as time goes by there will be tons more reasons. What is there not to love about being healthy? I can't think of a single thing!
I have heard so much about the success of tracking my daily food/calories and with every past diet I have started to do it, but then I would quit. Since this time is different, I am just writing down the calories and not the food to make it extra simple.
I was just keeping track in my head, but I think this will work much better!
Have a great day! :)

Great list! :)
Writing down your intake helps! I know it helps me with weight watchers. I also keep a list of foods that I eat often (with point values) as an easy go to so I don't need to look stuff up all the time. :)
Keep up the great work!!
Awesome list. I'm glad that you made one. It's great to know why you are doing it and know that you can enjoy it!
Great list! I have to concur with number two...that would be my favorite one for myself also! but your number three...liking to go to the gym. I am so shocked because I thought I hated it...but this week I've been unable to go (medical reasons) and low and behold I'm chomping at the bit to get there!
I think that writing down your food - especially in the beginning is so vital. It helps you be accountable, even if you are the only one seeing the numbers!
