I was thinking today, what am I really reaching for with this weight loss/fitness journey? So I thought I'd fill in the blank for myself & ask you all to do the same.

The thing I am looking forward to most when I reach my goal weight is looking in the mirror and thinking I look great! That doesn't happen that much right now.

Your turn: The thing I am looking forward to most when I reach my goal weight is . . .

    I haven't thought about it. Is that odd? I am quite happy with how I look at the moment, so I don't really know if I should keep aiming for my original goal.
    I am looking forward to being fit enough to run a full marathon.

    I just copied and pasted this from my profile because I am looking forward to so many things!!


    Feel sexy for my hubby

    Take shower with hubby

    Paint my toes and breathe at the same time

    Walk up the stairs and not feel like I am going to pass out

    Feel more graceful

    Feel more feminine

    Go to an office party with my hubby and not feel like the fattest person in the room

    Go to the movies and not feel like I am squeezed into the seat

    Fly without feeling like I am taking up more then my share of space

    Wear a skirt without feeling that disgusting slimy/sticky feeling of my thighs rubbing

    Not wear out the crotch of my pants from my thighs rubbing

    Be the "Hot Mom"

    Not duck when a camera points in my direction

    Jump from rock to rock as we play at the river

    Sit in an inner tube at the river and not feel like they have to rub butter on it to get me out

    Be able to shop anywhere and not just Lame Giant

    Not have to lick my finger to get my rings on/off

    Wear a necklace without that stupid extender that always gets turned to the front

    Walk down stairs without my knees groaning

    Go out with my hubby because I want to not because I have to

    Wear cloths because they are cute not because they cover up my belly/butt

    Wear a swimsuit without a skirt attached

    Clothing will take up less space in a suitcase

    Shopping will be fun and not a chore

    Not look the other way when I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror/Window

    Stop hiding behind pillows on the couch

    See my bikini area to shave

    Actually accomplishing the weight loss journey for once in my life. I actually have met my goal but have decided to lose a little more... and I'm happy with the idea of saying I don't "diet" anymore, just eat healthy for the rest of my life!

    I am looking forward to being healthier...sounds cliche but I can't wait for it all...getting in the car without my belly buldging, sitting down in jeans without the muffin top ( I swear some days I am greatful my job is mostly standing) I can't wait to be able to run 6 miles again, I can't wait to wear a bikini for the first time! It's all in my destiny... I can feel it!

    Creating new/different goals. Just because I've attained something doesn't mean I'm gonna stop. My life is pretty fulfilling already. I want more. I'm selfish that way.

    Defeating the family curse. My family is Italian and we are short and wide. So to get healthy would be a huge accomplishment for my blood line.
  • to finally feel confident about myself!
  • After I stop laughing about that crazy ewok gif...


    Regaining that portion of my closet I used to fit into!

    Less Lower Back pain (hopefully)
