I will never be able to give up french fries, ice cream or macaroni and cheese.  However, I have been really curbing my intake and incorporating exercise and I've dropped some serious weight.  I'm lower now than I have been since I starved myself in high school to drop to 195.

I am terribly shallow.  I like boys and clothes and these are, in reality, my two main motivators when convincing myself not to eat an ice cream bar.  Of course I also want to be healthy, and fit comfortably in an airplane seat, etc.  But if I'm being honest I just want to be able to walk into American Eagle, buy some jeans, and pick up the cashier-boy.

When I grow up (finish college) I want to be an English teacher or tutor.  I love reading, writing, and books and want to pass that on.  Writing well is the most useful job skill you could have, especially as communication through digital media is on the rise.  I really believe that knowing the effect of knowing affect and effect could affect your life.

That said, I also get really into stupid stuff like Harry Potter, Bridget Jones, the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), and tons of TV like Weeds, Dexter, Big Love, 30 Rock, etc.  I love mini-golf, amusement parks, the beach, and visiting big cities.  San Fransisco is my favorite place I've ever been.  Next year I hope to study abroad in New Zealand.
