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. 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 ).
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!

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!
..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!
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 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.
