Why you should lose that extra 50 pounds

I really liked Steve Pavlina's way of realizing how much extra weight you are carrying:

Go to the gym, pick up two 25-lb dumbbells, walk around with them, and ask yourself if you really want to carry that burdensome weight 24/7 for another year.

(His post is about setting your year's goal, not about losing weight in particular.)
