So, I know we are all here to be healthy and better, but there are some things that I want to do one I lose weight, and I was thinking that maybe people have these things too.

For example, one of my things I am striving for is Halloween 2012. I have been obese since I was a little kid, and have always worn the silly outfits. Not to sound weird or low self esteem-ish, but I WANT to be a slut. Like, one of those cute little nurse outfits or a sexy sailor. It's weird, but I REALLY Want this! I know that I want other things, and I am not losing the weight for a costume, but It helps.


So, do you guys have anything like this?

    I sometimes think about how nice to would be for some of my exs to see me looking better that I have in a long time. Even though a couple of them don't even live in the same city as me now. lol

    Indoor climbing and lift my own weight. Being able to be strong enough that I can do climbing and lifting is very important to me. Also, being able to wear some prettier workout outfits. I am motivated by pretty clothes apparently, so I can totally understand your sexy slut outfit for Halloween! Lol :)

    I've always been self conscious about my body. However, in February I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas. I would love - for once in my life - to get in a bikini. Don't know if it will happen but for now, it's my motivation.....

    I too wished to have had the body to wear one of those outfits.... Actually I was looking at a sexy witch outfit - no place to wear it (darn). But my biggest and weirdest motivation is to wear my 5" heels again with ease as I did years ago whilst youthful and slender. Unfortunately, I don't believe that will happen but can still dream. LOL... (Age has its downfalls - sometimes literally). :flowerforyou:

    I was fairly normal sized kid, but once I got married the first time at 19...I started gaining weight, at first no biggie....10 pounds...but then the second year.....60 pounds....and somehow when I wasn't looking I tipped the scale over 200 pounds....now 10 years into my second marriage I realized my husband, bless his heart, has never seen me at a healthy weight. I would love for him to see me in cute clothes, and....honestly I fantasize about that scene in Jerry McQuire, where he picks up his girlfriend for adult playtime....I really want to be little enough that he can pick me up. :P

    I really want to travel to Scotland with my husband but I haven't even checked on tickets because I am afraid I will have to buy 2 seats just for me.
    I want to be a single seat flyer.

    The slutty Halloween costume would be fun too. Who am I kidding? I would wear slutty clothes to the supermarket. :blushing:

    I want to look as hott as my boyfriend seems to think I am. I also have the fantasy of running into an ex and looking better than I ever did with them.

    Those all seem like great motivators. I know they say to do it for yourself, But sometimes It's nice to think about the day you hit your goal weight, and seeing an ex or a crush who would never go out with someone who was heavy and just making their jaw DROP!

    That's a great idea! I saw a shirt that was on sale that I really wanted, but it was 2 sizes too small... I might just have to get it as a goal.

    I want to feel as sexy/beautiful as people keep telling me I am
    My boyfriend, family and friends are always telling me I'm beautiful.
    It's a bit hard to believe when I don't like what I see in the mirror.

    And a little bit of the Ex- thing too.. I haven't seen any of my exes in a number of years.. but it'd be nice to see the look on their faces if we did run into each other. It'd be like "Yeah, this is what you missed out on"

    I want to, just once in my life, walk into a room and own it! I am going to be finishing my PhD in another year or so and I want to have the advantage of being hot when I am looking for a job.

    to do ONE unassisted pull-up. . .
    reduce arthritis pain. . .
    get off of my blood pressure med's
    jog with my dog. . .I know she will love that

    If the superficial reasons help you, that's great.
    As for me, every time I have lost weight for reasons of appearance, I always put it back on.
    I guess since looks fade eventually, any motivation related to them fades for me, too.

    Whatever it is that drives you, may it bring you much success!

    I definitely want to visit my home town and wow all the people I used to hang out with. I don't keep a facebook or keep in touch with them otherwise so it really will be a surprise. ;)

    Right now:

    To look good at my high school reunion (10 years) that's coming up sometime in the next year.
    I was poplar-ish and skinny my first year or so.

    There was a guy who I almost hooked up with a couple of years ago, but was too "ashamed" because I was big.
    I want to run into him at the reunion at be all hot and what not.

    I love how all the reason are all across the board based on what life stage we are at. I would love to go back to Minnesota to see some of my old friends and an ex from college. I would also love to be able to wear a bikini and get my bellybutton repierced. I want to be able to find bras and normal stores and not pay an arm and a leg for one. I want to go shopping for clothes and not leave frustrated after not being able to find anything. I want to feel better and look better for sure. And I want to weigh less than my husband! :D
