motivation...in your head!!

My boyfriend runs a garage and speed shop, as well as his own aftermarket autoparts business (Driftnami Performance....shameless plug lol) anyway, we are both into the modified car scene and he totes his business around to the big car shows. I keep picturing myself as his hot import girl. And like you, the thought pops in my head off and on all the time. It helps me push through workouts. :happy: And I use it to sorta punish myself for slipping.:grumble:

I have this vision of walking into an average store and buying cute clothes of the rack. I've had to shop in plus sized clothing stores since I was 12 or so. I shop a lot in my head. lol Only being able to wear ugly frumpy plus sizes for most of your life sucks so bad, I can't wait until I get to wear cute regular clothes!

One of my goals is to be able to go into Forever 21 and buy a size medium pair of jeans. That's the day I'll feel like I've really done it!

Haha, this post made me smile soooo much! :laugh: Thanks for sharing your little thoughts and motivations - I am so glad I am not alone in the "fantasy new me" thoughts!!

I have them all the time, ranging from the realistic (things with your partner thinking you are the most devastatingly good looking person on the planet) through to a crazy work one that would never happen...!

Long story...but one of the times I felt the fattest was we had signed a WAG to be "the face" of our new clothing range 'Ask & Embla' last year. She was tiny and had the most sensational figure - but in a very desirable way, not at all scrawny, boobs and bum, just all in a very neat little package!! So I was standing at a photoshoot feeling like the biggest hippo in the world and that made me want to slim down the most.

So my most crazy fantasy is that as that contract with her has now ended, our global marketing director will call me up and say the campaign was a great success but we want someone who knows and lives the brand to be the face of A&E for the next season...everyone says you'd be perfect...and the build a whole ad campaign around me!

Haha... :laugh: :blushing: I did tell you it was crazy and ridiculous. (At least yours will happen!!) But it does keep me going (an laughing at myself) on the damn treadmill!!

I have this fantasy about shopping with my cousin. She's like a size 5 and we've never been able to try on clothes together in the same store. I think about that a lot when I'm exercising. Or I picture myself at whatever event or special occasion I have upcoming looking gorgeous, healthy and amazing!

It's so great knowing that I'm not the only one who imagines this stuff :laugh:
