20-Somethings - I want to be hot.

Anyone ever wake up and think "I want to be hot" today? I've got a gazillion things to do at work today (and feel frumpy at best) but my mind just keeps repeating it over and over again. Maybe TOM is coming. ;)

I think the weightloss journey for me this time around is going to be for good...I'm tired of my stomach, bottom and thighs (heck, I would be happy loosing some weight in the "ladies" as well).

Tomorrow is my first week weigh in...I'm hoping for 1.5 pounds. Fingers crossed.

I saw the title and thought -You and me both- lol.
I have days like that, where I wake up and I just want to look good. Hope you see the loss you're looking for!

At least I'm not the only one. In my mind's eye I'm this skinny little thing and then I run into a mirror and see frumpy. Oh well, have to start somewhere.

I know it is evil motivation but I also want to look awesome for a work conference in Vegas in September where I will run into some people I used to work with who I know have commented on my weight gain over the last few years (even though working insane hours for them was part of the reason I gained it). :devil:

Well for the last couple of years I have been trying (and succeeding) in convincing myself that I just don't care what I look like.

Definitely the wrong attitude.

I want to be hot! Its not superficial or silly or vain. Well, not entirely hehe.

But I want to look good and feel good and walk out the door with confidence! And I think just acknowledging that has done wonders. Its gotten me here :P

I've ruined many relationships because guys like confident woman, and Im not, per say. I mean Im not trying to be vain but i have a pretty face, but the rest of my body. . . not so much. lol.
Im that saying cute face, chubby waist! lol.
I want to be hot, i want to feel sexy. And even though i try to love myself the way I am, i just can't feel sexy at my size and weight. .
New year, new me! :)

HOT absolutely I want to .... some people here now that I am 30 whit 3 kids ... but i really really want to be hot and sexy and i will one days ... i just have to do more exercise , which will be happening this year , i bought i treadmills so i will be able to log more miles.

I wanna be hot, too. Tired of desperately looking for clothes that will disguise my rolls- I want to shop for clothes that flaunt ME.

I definitely want to be the "Hot mom." I'm 29 and just had my 3rd baby a few months ago. I have always been the big girl and I am so tired of it. This morning was probably the worst feeling of that and I decided to come back to this site for the help. So glad to see I have others who feel the same way.

I totally get what you're saying, I want it too! The problem with this is if that is ALL you want out of losing weight, chances are slim that you'll succeed in maintaining the weight. For years I've lost 20lbs and then gained it all back once I felt "hot" enough.

Once I realized that it is about my health, being fit is my ultimate goal, and being HOT is definitely up there too =) But once I realized that my health was at stake, it really makes it easier for me to know that I will maintain this for the rest of my life.

I'm right there with you, girls. I want to be able to wear slinky clothes again (not that I want to wear them all the time...I just want the option). I want to be able to put on a dress and feel beautiful, sexy and hot altogether (not frumpy and worried if my rolls are more or less visible in this dress vs another).

Mikey- I've gotten into several relationships because I wasn't confident and attracted men who have used me. I'm sick of it...I'm turning 30 in less than a year so I better damn well stop it.

I'm putting a sticker on my fridge and "snack" places that reminds me "I want to be hot"...can't put it on my work computer so you gals will have to be my motivation on that front (my boss and secretary come in my office often and I really don't want to explain a "I want to be hot" sticky note to them). :o

I want to be hot to! What I hate is some days I look at myself and say holy **** I'm hot...but then I continue to look at myself and the hotness goes away. I'm getting better though at faking my confidence especially for this guy I'm sooo into right now. So maybe the saying is if you think you're hot you WILL be hot?

I hear you Krizstyling. I want to be healthy too (didn't mean to imply that I didn't)...I want to be happy with myself and at peace with myself too. My "I want to be hot" kick was just something that hit me today pretty hard. :D

Like every.single.day and I'm doing okay getting there I mean I'm down to 149 (120 is my goal) but I hate that out of my entire wardrobe I have like 6 things that fit and everything else is skinny clothes. I haven't always been big but my third baby did me in :-(

With temperatures averaging -20C here right now, I definitely want to be hot!

Ok, seriously though, I'd love to be hot. I always feel frumpy. My new years resolution to myself was to apply make-up more often, so I would feel better about myself, but I am failing! LOL I am a stay at home mom, and it's just a great excuse to not bother. I wanna be hot too :P

I hope you dressed up today then. Sometimes that is just the best solution!

I know I overdress a little bit for my job, but if I don't I will feel frumpy and sleepy and just tired and haggard in general. Looking nice gives me more energy and makes me feel much better, the better I feel the more apt I am to take better care of myself throughout the day (like not overeating or otherwise sabotaging myself)

Oh trust, I feel you on that!!! I had one of those days the other morning. Turning on a little cocky Kanye West or Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson def helps me feel better =)

I wear a uniform which doesn't exactly help my I want to be hot situation....Beige pants, white shirt, red and blue tie and an ugly blue blazer that is too big for me...so much for not being soo hot at work.

Ouch! I don't think I would handle a uniform well. I think they would look horrible on me, and then I would feel horrible all day everyday.
I walked into my interview for the job I'm at now (and LOVE!), the lead dispatcher was in a deputy/corrections officer style uniform, beige. I thought to myself "I will NOT take this job if I have to wear that" I am so thankful everyday that we can wear whatever we want, and not that!

Yep it does suck especially because it's not form fitting at all. I look about 10 pounds heavier then I am in my uniform. But I was speaking with my crush about it and said they should get a nice big red nose for me it will help suit me. He laughed and shook his head saying the uniform isn't that bad that he's seen worse...so it made me feel a little better. :o

This made me laugh because the whole time I was pregnant with my daughter, I kept telling my husband that I wanted to be a MILF after she was born. So, here's to becoming a MILF!! :coffee2:

I watch videos like this to get me motivated and feel sexy. :P

Totally. I work in a high school and my students are all 16 and 17 years old. So I spend most of my life trying NOT to be hot. And when I'm working, I want to be comfortable. So hot....man, i would just like the chance to be hot

I'm on a two week rotation, and it's directly related to my cycle. The week before and the week of my TOM, I feel ridiculously frumptastic. No matter what the scale says or how well my skinny jeans fit, I feel like a blimp. Then for the next two weeks, I feel thin and pretty and want to wear flattering clothes.

"Fat days" are a real phenomenon. When your body is most fertile around ovulation, you feel attractive and *ahem* more frisky. Your brain's natural way of saying it's baby-makin time. On the least fertile days, you aren't as receptive to the whole idea of being naked, haha.

New year, new me! :)

Mickey- You reminded me that when I was 4 and my sister was 13 we were at a public shower and I looked her right in the eyes and said "how come you have such a pretty face and such and ugly body?" How horrible am I!!!?? Great thing to say to a 13 yr old with weight issues huh? Anyway sorry you just reminded me of that.

I would love to get back to HOT one day but I will settle for MILF status. ;)

Ouch :(, does she hold that against you today even if you were 4 years old?

come on, girls! you can be hot anytime you want!

sure, everyone has fat days and pms days, but being/feeling hot certainly has nothing to do with weight. i'm pretty sure i could point out a couple of not-so-hot skinny girls, and a few stunning not-stick-thin beauties!

first off, dress nice! you don't need to dress like you're stepping out to the club, watch a few episodes of What Not To Wear if you must, but enjoy dressing yourself up! even for work!

do your hair for no reason! i've recently started curling just the tips of my hair... and everytime i do it people tell me my hair looks great or ask if i've just been to the hairdresser. lol. and it takes like 10 minutes.

do your makeup!!! wearing makeup is not to HIDE your face, it's to enhance it. like i always say, makeup makes ugly girls ok, plain girls pretty, pretty girls beautiful, and beautiful girls stunning! makeup is your friend! and i love playing with it...

so even if you have a boring job, you can get yourself minded for your day by presenting yourself nicely. even if you work at a school, or wear a uniform, you can dress your face and hair, wear accessories, heck, wear hot underwear under your clothes! no one will know but you and you WILL feel hot ;)

so all in all, i guess what i'm saying is : YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!! :p

*jumps off soapbox*

+10000 to KawaiiCandie's post. Though for those of us in the "in between sizes" stage it is awfully hard to put together a confidence-inspiring outfit sometimes without wearing the same thing 7 days a week.

I want to be hot too. There was a time not long ago when I felt that way, but not anymore and I want it back.

i wanna be hot too!!! who doesnt? we, women, wanna feel hot and sexy at all times, some of us dont care about our weight, but some like me do, I used to be the skinny hot girl, and few years later im not anymore, my goal this year is to be back at my best, and maybe even better (healthier)!!! i cant wait to lose my extra pounds, and wear cute dresses and other clothes and not have to worry about my rolls showing!
good luck ladies!!!!
xoxo

YES!!!! you totally got it girlie! I think we all want to be hot lol getting healthier is great too but for me being in my 20s I would love to look in the mirror and think wow i look hot lol

soon we will :)

Pocket- oh yes, yes we will. :D

The scale, God bless its little electronic heart, said 170 this morning. Now, I know last week I weighed in with some clothes on and in the afternoon (not the morning, without clothes, like I did this morning) but woooo, hooo. :carrot: I don't expect a loss like that every week (I'm hoping for 1 to 1.5 pounds a week) at all but it is a nice start to my new lifestyle.

I've got the room where my treadmil was collecting dust cleaned out and I'm going to add exercise in to my dieting soon.
