Introspection: My Wants

Posted by: delitaagain In: Introspection

To feel good about my looks.
To be irreproachable with my fitness and ability to move and do things. (No more excuses!)
To have an active life doing fun, rewarding things, being able to enjoy activities, myself & others, and being able to be enjoyed by others. No more spectating from the nearest picnic bench!
To be able to do (physically) anything I want to do.
To have my appearance be an asset rather than a liability. (No need to be *hot* but just make folks comfortable and feel good.)

I will have to guard against thinking that being right-sized and active equates automatically to a busy, happy life. But then, even starting to head more in that direction gives me a busier, happier life. Okay!

What are your wants?

Great post!

My wants are basically the same as yours. Only if I wrote my own out it’d be terribly long winded and not so beautifully succinct as yours.

I’ll try not to blather on:

#1 for me would be “To be able to do (physically) anything I want to do.” as you said. I’ve always wanted to run, long distances. To me that would be the ultimate feeling of freedom. Like the dreams I had of flying as a child.
#2 would be to feel great about how I look as well.
#3 no limits because of my size.

Oh, they make some prett ones… just not the ones you want. I am getting so not nostalgic about finally losing the weight and getting back to the *real* me.
