Here's a new game: FANTASY vs REALITY. It's simple...type your fantasy (you want or wish for) and then your reality (what you have or what you have to settle for). I will go first.


Fantasy: I want to go to Italy and tour the city and indulge in authentic Italian cuisines.

Reality: I can only afford to occasionally eat at the Olive Garden.

    Fantasy: I am a world class, multi-million dollar winning jockey (you can't get much fitter than those guys & gals!)

    Reality: I'm stuck at 185 and busting my butt in the gym and weight room while fantasizing that any effort I put in will get me an awesome world-class body in any remote future.

    I love this idea and your first post is almost what my first answer would've been!

    Fantasy: Marry a wonderful man who truly loves me for who I truly am, live simply on one salary and be able to work just part time myself, devoting the majority of my time and energy to my family. Living passionately and well.

    Reality: Single mom, working 1.5 jobs and doing the best I possibly can. Loving my child, making mistakes, learning from them and moving on.

    Fantasy: own a string of chinese restaurants that makes good, healthy chinese food and me a lot of money :smile:.

    Reality: think about the golden palace up on the corner, drool, and know that I probably shouldn't have anything they make in fear of gaining back everything I've lost this week.

    fantasy: I am thin as I have been since I was 15.. 119lbs and curvy. I live with my boyfriend , have an awesome art teaching job, and have enough money to live comfortably and happily. I have a house and a garden and cats and dogs and maybe a couple babies (in a couple of years..)

    Reality: I am 150 lbs. I don't fit into any of my clothes. My boyfriend lives an hour away and we see each other once a week. I am in college. I am thousands of dollars in debt to my university. I am part time employed in retail and get to work once or twice a week and pierce screaming crying children's ears and get paid minimum wage. I live either at home with my parents or in a dorm surrounded by concrete and things will be like this for a while.
