edited October 5 in Motivation and Support
I thought it might be motivating to see "one liners" of some of the little things that everyone is looking forward to when they hit their goals. I'd truly like to keep this at one liners, quick, fun stuff that makes us all smile and nod our heads. For example:

I am doing this :

* So I can wear my husbands boxer shorts and have them fall off my hips

* So I won't hate looking at myself in my sons wedding pictures

* Because I'm tired of being the biggest girl in the room

*

Can't wait to read yours!

    Losing weight won't help any of this, you know. No matter how many pounds you lose, you'll never truly love yourself. kendf60 has a good goal.

    Most importantly to be healthy!

    But a few others would be:

    *To not have to ever see 200+ pounds on a scale (the way I was headed I'd prolly be ther in my late 20s)

    *Show my freinds, family, etc. that is CAN be done; no matter what it can be done!

    *to feel better about my body, not having to huff and puff when i walk a simple distance. I wanna be able to comfotable jog 3 miles once im done (im well on my way:bigsmile: )

    wow, way to be motivational...

    I have fallen in and out of love with myself many times and I know that reaching goals, dreams and what-not will help you. Sometimes weight-loss achieve those goals. Like a goal of mine is the hike the grand canyon again, but this time be able to do it without turning purple. I don't know how loving myself will help me do that. But I know I will love myself more when I finally do it and reach that goal in my life.

    I do agree that one needs to love themselves no matter what. But like I said, little goals do help. It is hard to love yourself until you can love yourself, if that is clear at all. It probably isn't but I don't know how to word it LOL

    You are so right! I am a witness of this. Before I would try and try losing weight, but would never get far. One day I finally figured out why; I didn't love myself, truely love myself the way I knew I could. I just chose to put myself down constantly because I was used to that. I encourage everyone to work on your self esteem/confidence in yourself. Notice how you treat yourself. Work on that first and I can guarantee that loosing weight will become the most humbling and joyous journeys you'll ever walk through. Simply because you love YOURSELF!
