Weight Loss Support - I hereby promise, that when I reach goal, I will...

NEVER EVER make fun of, belittle, or tease someone that is overweight. Not that I ever HAVE, but I don't want to turn into one of THOSE people that do. I also promise that I WILL take better care of myself, and that I will live my life the way I want and do the things I want, and that my weight will never hold me back from experiencing something ever again.

What do you promise?


(is there already one of these? I know there's a I "I can't wait until" thread, but wasn't sure about this. :dizzy: If so, delete it and direct me to it! LOL)

I promise to take the best care of myself possible so I am around for my husband and children (and eventually grandchildren). I also promise to do whatever I have held off doing because of my size. Mostly I promise never to be fat and unhealthy again and to continue to pass on good habits to my kids.

I promise to encourage others who trying to attain a health lifestyle. I promise to enjoy and appreciate my smaller and fitter body, to take excellent care of it, and to use it ( run a marathon, complete a sprint tri ).

I promise to always remember what it was like to be truly fat.

I promise not to ignore people who are obese...anymore than I ignore everybody else. :D

I will....


APPRECIATE IT...this time around!:) I remember being a size 6 actually less than 2 yrs ago...and thinking I was FAT and just simply not appreciating how far I had come...well...not again!:carrot:

... I do everything I can to keep my body healthy and at the right weight range for my height/body type.

After losing all this weight, I'm not going back. It's too freaking hard to have to do this again.

...quit smoking. Period, amen, gone. :)

I have versions of everyone else's answers so I wont bother to repeat it, so I'll just add.... Dance around my room naked. :dancer: Hey, you asked. :lol:

I will....

Oh this! Always this! I appreciate very much where I am RIGHT now in a size 8/10 even though I was so miserable in a freaking THREE! :dizzy:

LOL...well I just might do that too with my new body! ;)

..I promise to appreciate how far I've come and not forget how hard I've worked to get my new body!
..I promise to NEVER go back into my old ways and get to where I was at.
..I promise to ENJOY being healthy and fit! :D

I will...

NEVER fall back into the same rut again. I don't want to have another "do-over"

Take care of myself and my health. Don't want to have high cholesterol

Be more active. ALL the time!

Wear something SEXY!!!

I promise to stay on top of my weight. For me, this means to continue to weigh myself on a weekly basis and give myself a +/- 2 pound leeway. I think that's what normal people do?

I'm never going back. I'm never going to despise the body I end up with, because like the others mentioned I was never happy at my thinnest and always found something to criticize. Never again.

I promise, never again!

I promise to always continue to think more carefully about what I'm putting into my body, and how much - to always remember that food is fuel and so we are what we eat!

I promise to get really good at saying "no" when pressured by others to eat - I'm bad at this!!

I promise not to beat myself up over small setbacks, but to always forgive myself, forget it, and get back on plan. Worrying about things is always a lot more stressful than changing them. :)

All of the above !

There are so many great promises listed already! Like Starbrite, I just want to say all of the above too.

I promise to listen to my body and eat only when I'm hungry
I promise to take home leftovers when I go out to eat
I promise to love the skin I'm in and to demonstrate self-love to all the women in my life who can't see just how beautiful they are.

I promise to continue recognizing and appreciating what a marvelous organism my body is, and to treat it with the respect it deserves.

NEVER EVER make fun of, belittle, or tease someone that is overweight.

I can´t promise that :o even when i was obese i made fun of us... but i promise the exact same thing as Rana: do everything I can to keep my body healthy and at the right weight range for my height/body type.

Well I mean there's a difference between just poking fun, because everyone does it, but I mean being cruel about it.

I promise that I will work on doing what I should be doing now:

Accepting myself as a person of worth. Regardless of my weight, the size of my clothes or the amount of money in my checkbook.

And I also promise never to stand next to someone who weighs 100 pounds more than I do and complain about how fat I am.

Further, if I should forget the above, I promise not to press charges when the larger person slaps me upside the head.

I promise to pass on what I've learned so that I can help those who are still struggling on losing. I promise to be the best role model I can possibly be for my children and my future grandchildren (yes, I'm already thinking that far ahead...'cuz, hey, I'm going to be healthy enough to live to be 100).

Dance around my room naked.

I love that! It's definitely being added to my list.

I promise that when I reach goal I will..

-Never give in and gain it back
-Wear the clothes I've always wanted, but never been able to wear
-Continue to educate those around me, especially my younger siblings

LOL. I promise I'll try to worry about all of that when I reach goal. :)

I have no issue with doing most of these things now. I don't see a reason to wait.

I will keep living healthily and not just go "OK GREEN LIGHT TO EAT CHEESE FRIES."

I will (somehow) handle social food/drink situations with moderation, balance and grace.

I will not be someone people omit from their to-invite list because I am obsessed with weight.

I will not snark about obese people like I used to when I was very insecure about my size.

I promise to NEVER be fat EVER again. Period, no excuses, ever.

I promise to never let food hold such a power over me ever again.

I promise to be a role model for my kids and maintain a healthy lifestyle far after I fit into my "goal jeans."

I promise to wear my bathing suit with pride.

I promise to never judge a person for not trying to lose weight. I struggle with this already. :o

I promise to give myself the opportunities I can't have right now, being out of shape.

I promise, if I still want to do it when I get to goal, that I will apply for a police officer's position.

I promise to never lie to myself or others online about my weight and respect myself, though I am acting on this right now.

I promise neeeever to change and become vapid and shallow.

I swear to not just "stop" once I get to where I wanna be as this is a life long process!

I swear to love, enjoy and respect my body which means no binging, sedentary days etc!

I promise to appreciate my effort and remember where I came from and what it was like, most of all.

I promise to love my curves

I promise to never gain the weight back

I promise to feel confident nakie

I will....

Stay committed to my current lifestyle and not let myself gain the weight back (again).

I, too, promise to never let myself gain the weight back.

I promise to encourage my entire family to lose weight and get healthy
I promise to treat my body like it's the only one I'm going to get (it is)
I promise to run, even when it hurts, run, even when I don't want to, run
I promise to try new things and NEVER gain this weight back again. EVER.

And I also promise never to stand next to someone who weighs 100 pounds more than I do and complain about how fat I am.

Further, if I should forget the above, I promise not to press charges when the larger person slaps me upside the head.

:p I LOVE this!! I feel like slapping some ladies I work with, I totally get where you are coming from!


Further, I promise to never EVER forget what living in this body feels like, so I can prevent the complaints yet to come. . .
