What are you looking forward to most when you reach your go

buying a whole new wardrobe ) oh and getting a fresh start and all that comes with that as well as reactivating my facebook a new and hopefully unrecognizable person

Same here I don't think I've spent a lot of money on clothes or myself in so long I'm looking forward to it, and looking good in them...a BIG plus

yep, stocking my closet with a permanent wardrobe - I'm SUPER happy dropping out of sizes, but I"m broke and know I'll continue to shrink, so I keep looking for little bargains on trousers and jeans that I can get for in-between wardrobe! But it's the first time I've ever felt so super confident I was on the way to a definite goal - I am just going slowly and so I have to be VERY patient about new clothes!!

Not feeling angry and disgusted with myself. I lost 15 pounds 3 years ago...took me 6 months, and then I gained it back in 6 weeks! Now its just impossible for me to cut back enough to lose the weight. I need to be on a 1200 calorie a day eating plan and I end each day at 2000 - 2200 calories...combined with the exercise I manage to get, that leaves me at the same weight..MAYBE i lose a pound or 2 and then its RIGHT back on. I cannot seem to keep my mouth shut, or satiate the sweet tooth from hell.
If I manage to pull this off (losing 15 pounds) I look forward to not hating myself 10 times a day for not being able to control this.

A baby.

The look on my families faces when I show up for my yearly 2 week visit......

For my husband to pick me up and carry me, instead of me yelling at him to put me down because I think he's going to break his back and feeling so ashamed and embarrassed.

To be able to shop at my favorite stores for more than perfume, bags, shoes, jewelery, etc.

To be able to run for miles without stopping.

To be able to share clothes with my 2 younger sisters.

To have a photo shoot at my goal weight.

To be able to wear heels longer & more often because I don't have to support so much weight anymore.

To have enough energy to outrun my 4 year old son all the time.

.. and those are just some of the most important to me, but I could go on!

Its to go to a nude beach without feeling disgusting. :drinker:

It sounds like you need to get to the root of why you over eat. I had to do that too. I had to realize that I wasn't eating when I was physically hungry most of the time that I ate. Next time you go to eat something, sit for a minute and ask yourself what you're actually feeling. Write it down even, if that helps - make a list of what you're feeling in that exact moment. Some of us eat when we are lonely, bored, tired, angry, etc. I had to learn to say no to eating my feelings and say yes to loving myself and my body. Food is fuel, and many of us use it for so many other reasons and that's really hurting us in the end.

Anyway, I hope you don't take offense to my post. I just know that's something I struggled with and thought I'd put that out there in case you struggle with it as well.

A baby.
Also, shopping will be so much more fun!

Honeymoon next summer! :happy:

Shpping at ANY store and healthier, happier ME!
