    Be happy today. Because tomorrow is not guaranteed. You don't have to wait until you hit your goals to smile.

    I'm already happy. I'd just also like to be healthy.

    I am happy now.

    I learned long ago that solving problems didn't make me happier. Happiness is a way to interpret reality. Instead of thinking I'll be happy when I achieve my goal, I believe I'm happy now because I'm losing weight and getting healthy. My view comes from a Buddahist quote I heard many years ago. “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”

    My bikini "accidentally" falls off at the beach and I (pretend) not to notice ;-)

    When I can do a handstand. When I can do a split. When the chains that hold the swing I go onto sometimes won't make it uncomfortable for me to sit on it (they're fretting my thighs atm T_T). When I can go to my bathroom, stand naked in front of a mirror and say "you did it girl!"

    When I am no longer wearing pants in the double digits. And when I keep it off long enough to be comfortable getting rid of the fat clothes.

    ... I don't feel huge next to my TINY friends. I'm 5'10; they're 5'4- I'll always be taller, but don't need to be so much WIDER.

    People stop assuming I am pregnant! While I blame them and not my stomach for their insensitivity, I am hoping that the unwelcomed accusations will cease when I reach goal! :)

    When I can buy the first pair of jeans i try on at the store instead of trying on twenty and not buying one...

    When I cant take a picture next to my beautiful girlfriends and not be the plus sized one.... or hiding in the back of the pictures...

    When my sister stops calling me elephant baby (although I highly doubt it)...

    and finally when I can submit a sexy picture to female fitness models!

    ... when I can do real pushups
    ... when I can do real pullups
    ... when I can wear a bathing suit without sucking in/holding my breath the whole time
    ... when I can carry my share of the gear when backpacking

    But on the whole, I'm already pretty happy just waking up...it means I'm still alive :laugh:

    I get to a certain weight loss, 60 pounds I am going to see my son who is stationed in Alaska. He leaves today and I am going to miss him terribly. I have lost 29, 31 more to go and I will book my flight. This is my promise to myself to keep me motivated. Help keep me on track!

    I don't know if I'll ever be truly be happy with myself;) ha ha. I always find room for improvement. I do like my shape better now, but will love it when my legs have no wiggle or jiggle. I will be happy when I love myself instead of like myself, when I feel confident all day, and not just at certain times:)

    When I can say I am confident, for the first time in my life. When I can buy clothes to show off my body, rather than buying clothes to hide my body.

    THIS ^ is exactly what I feel!

    When I will be able to walk without my thighs rubbing together.
    When I lose that lower belly bulge!
    When I can jog/run for more then a couple minutes at a time before my legs get tired.

    Edit:
    When I can wear a tank top without worrying about that under arm flab.
    So I can feel confident in a bikini for the first time ever.

    I'm incredibly happy now, but I'll be happier when.....

    I can take my shirt off at the beach and know the looks from other people are because I'm a sexy beast and not because I look like a freak :smile:

    my thighs don't touch when I walk! But I agree with some of the other posters, if I'm at a healthy weight/BMI I should be happy with that in itself.

    ... when I am just happy. (i.e. not deferring happiness in leui of something that may or may not happy).

    Having said, reaching that the next, and final, notch on the belt will help the mood :)

    I'm happy now, but I look forward to taking dance lessons once I feel I am fit enough to endure them.
