Great thread! I wish I would have seen this before now...where have I been?

I am determined on the following:

To show my children how to eat healthy for the rest of their lives and STILL enjoy life.

To get to my healthy weight and stay there once and for all

To get a new mindset that this is my new life - not just a temporary weight loss

To become the person outside that I see as "me" on the inside

To prove to myself (and others) that I really can be in control of what I eat

To overcome my DISDAIN for exercise and make it a part of my life on a daily basis

To quit waiting to "arrive" and enjoy the journey. I have a tendency to think "when I accomplish ____ then everything will be better." No, life is happening NOW - I want to enjoy it now.

To become more pleasing to God in my entire life (including temperance in eating)

I'm determined to prove to myself that I can stay on plan today even though I'm home for the entire day by myself. This one is big for me.

I'm determined to stay in it for the long hault, to not get frustrated that it takes SO long and just look forward to getting to my goal.

I'm determined to finish a week of no sugar/soda -- it's actually getting easier.

I'm determined to get into single-digit sizes. I can squeeze into size 10 pants now but 12 is more comfortable, and I doubt I can even squeeze into a size 12 dress (not that I've worn dresses in years). I'm bigger on the top so my dress size is usually bigger than my pants size. Well, I want to be a single-digit size in EVERYthing! It was exciting to get out of the sizes that were over 20 -- now I want to be under 10!

Had to dig up this thread, cause I couldn't wait to post this one:

I'm determined to do everything within my power to never again see a weight that starts with 29*. I'm into the 28* and it feels good!

Im determined to look the way I did when I met my HOT Dh!

I am DETERMINED to find the new me ~ I am not the same person I was 80 pounds ago.
