1. Wear a bikini on vacation!
2. Work out routinely, try to get that 6 pack (heck I'll take a 2 pack) and maybe even a marathon (did 3 half marathons last year!)
3. Try some new stuff in the bedroom.
4. Let my husband carry me bridal style.
5. Feel worthy of being next to my way too attractive for me husband. Right now I feel like people are looking at us and wondering why he is with me
6. Become an FBI Special Agent.
7. Look sexy for a little bit, then pop out some kiddos!

I completely get you on #5! In fact, I know I have been judged that way because someone flat out asked me that to my face. I haven't compiled my list yet, but when I do I'm going to have to seriously consider putting this on there.

Great list!

Great thread!

After I lost my weight in 2014 I was unequivocally happier in every aspect of my life. So after I kick this weight to the curb again I will;
1. Not have any more babies. Four is plenty for us and my body is done! I've been breastfeeding for almost 8 years straight as well so when this last baby boy weans I will 'free'.
2. Wear all my nice clothes I bought in 2014.
3. Not feel silly going for a walk.
4. Join in with the family more when we do activities. I am always the baby holder.
5. have our family of six professional photos taken. We had them done when I was at goal and 5 weeks pregnant with baby three and I didn't haven't to try hard to pick pictures I loved.

After I lose weight I will:

1) feel confident in my clothing
2) have clothing I actually like!
3) be able to play with my children more
4) be able to better keep up with my (very athletic) husband
5) not feel like every one is judging me when I eat out
6) DO stuff
7) feel overall more confident, but especially when traveling
8) enjoy working out because it won't feel so pointless, and also be able to put more effort into my workouts
9) enjoy being in pictures with my children instead of forcing myself to do it for their sake
10) feel cute again

That's a good idea. I think I'll write mine up and put them on the fridge. Or maybe tape them to triggery foods (like my daughter's cream cheese that keeps looking at me every time I open the fridge).

1.) not feel awkward next to my skinny friends in photos
2.) not feel hideous/actually want to have sexy time with boyfriend
3.) not get winded going up a flight of stairs
4.) wear pants that don't have stretchy waistbands like I'm pregnant when I'm not
5.) NOT HAVE PEOPLE ASK ME WHEN MY BABY IS DUE WHEN IM NOT PREGNANT! UGH!
6.) actually make an effort with my appearance and clothing
7.) wear a bathing suit in public/go swimming
8.) not get chafing when my thighs rub together
9.) be confident & feel comfortable in my body
10.) go shopping in a mall instead of being too embarrassed/depressed to try clothing on and it not fit/stop buying all my clothes online

You have a good grip on your reasons why losing weight will mean a lot to you - refer to this list regularly - especially if you think about smeaking off the protocol....

Thanks for sharing!

I will be wear a bikini next Summer. Luckily, health wise I was ok even when heavier. I just want to keep it that way!

Woot woot! I'm having this done March 20th! May anniversary is in mid-May and we're planning a party (we have a pool). I think I'm going to give my husband a bikini'd wife at our anniversary party.

Bumping this thread - its good to articulate what it means to you to lose the weight and to revisit your list when cravings try to take hold. Check out this thread. I bet you will find that others share your feelings, and your desires for your journey.

Re bumping this thread! Nothing like a bit of a non-weight goalsetting to push you through the tough spots!

I love all your posts!!!!

I will wear all my size 4 and size 27 jeans that don't fit. I will wear a bikini instead of a one piece that has spanx inside.

XOXOXOXO
