Oh Laurie, I have to steal this one. My MIL is an evil, wicked person, and when hubby and I first started dating, her comments about my weight were incredibly nasty. And them coming from her, who is pretty overweight herself. I haven't seen her since my FIL passed away almost 2 years ago. My hubby just within the last couple of months got back in contact with her. I so want the next time I see her to be thinner than her.

I love this thread and the responses so far!

I'm determined to meet new people and have them be amazed that I used to be overweight.

I'm determined never to go back to my old way of eating. Why should I? I feel so much better and I love the food.

I'm determined to love myself and be proud of me!

Thought of another one:

I'm determined to NOT beat myself up when I have an off day. They will happen now and again, and the point is to pull myself back up.

That being said,

I'm also determined to have as few off days as possible.

And, not weight loss related:
