I recently saw a Special K commercial that asked "What will you gain when you lose the weight?" I was curious about what others wanted to gain by losing?

I'd like to gain energy, enthusiasm, confidence, and I'd really like to have more clothes that fit!:happy:

    1) more energy
    2) more confidence
    3) smaller sized clothing
    4) to look drop dead gorgeous in my wedding dress (when I buy one in August/September)
    5) to not have to worry about weight limits! (for certain activities, like horseback riding)
    6) to be an inspiration to friends and family who want to lose weight & get healthy
  • I will gain...
    -respect for myself
    -pride
    -energy
    -freedom from my sheltered life as a 'fat' girl
  • Confidence, happiness when I look at pictures, my old clothes back and maybe some smaller ones :), a clean bill of health, knowledge that I have a better chance of not being sick like my parents because I'm healthy. Longer life!
