When I get there.. I will.....
When I get to my goal weight I will...
What will you do? |
great thread!
When I get there, I will: buy a pair of high boots, as in "these boots are made for walking":dancer: have fun with my clothes, instead of mainly using them as camouflage:p boldy walk up to cutie patooties and strike up a conversation:cheers: willingly try new physical activities which either a) require me to give me weight or b) contort my body into small hitherto untried positions:yoga: and a whole bunch more, but that'll do for now:D ps ooooooh, sexy nightie, THAT'S a good one, I want to add that to my list too! |
I love this thread. It really has me thinking. I would like to wear shorts this summer. I would like to wear a camisole and jeans without a covering blouse. I would like to wear more fashionably daring clothes. Am I the only one that thinks some of Ugly Betty's clothing is cute? LOL.
|
Wear a little sundress in a bright color!
No more hiding behind my clothes. |
When I get there I will.......
Still be me..I would never wear a bikini on the beach.. That's not me.. But I will go to the beach and not feel like I don't belong... I hope to get into running... Be able to get up out of the floor without much effort. Know that I will be able to keep up with my grandkids one day..( DO NOT HAVE THE YET.. BUT I KNOW ITS IN MY POSSIBLE FUTURE..LOL) Ride one of my sons horses.. Have a better quality of life... |
When I get there I will -
- Take up pole dancing and burlesque - Run - Walk some of the Munros, and especially Ben Nevis - Wear denim shorts - Wear skirts more than I wear trousers - Get knee-high boots - Take up horseriding - Buy some HOT lingerie! - Happily dance my socks off in a club without feeling self-conscious - Watch my ex's jaw drop - Talk to hot guys in bars - Wear a bikini when I go on holiday, and know I look hot! When I see things like this, I can't believe that I sometimes want a pizza or a creme egg more than I want these things. What's wrong with me? I would happily eat just chicken and salmon and fruit and veg and soup for the rest of my life if I was able to have these goals as regular things in my everyday life. |
I like this thought, too...
When I get there, I will: Try my best to maintain, so I never have this long of a journey again :^: Feel better and have a better quality of life Participate in more physical activities :carrot: Buy cute clothes from regular stores Wear the high boots! :devil: And... many other things! |
When I get there I will:
* Buy the sexiest dress I can find and go for a night out on the town with my husband (I currently NEVER would wear a dress) * Wear a tank top and shorts * Go swimming at the beach * Buy a beautiful / sexy nighty * Walk around with more confidence |
When I get there I will:
|
When I get there I will:
* Finally buy a cute dress. I haven't put a dress on for many years! * Never feel embarrassed being out in public * Buy some sexy underwear and burn the granny panties * Buy a bathing suit and feel amazing on that beach! Right now I wear pants and a t shirt to swim :S * Buy some sexy jammies, and get rid of these 2xx flannels * No longer require the lights to be off, and half my clothes on during sex * Go ice skating! I miss that, and right now I am too big to do it. * Be extremely happy, and not cry when I look in the mirror |
When I get there I will:
- Be running 5 miles every day and have lovely muscles. - Have a closet full of beautiful clothes without one single elastic waist! - Never have to worry again that people are judging me because of my weight. |
I loooove this thread!
When I get there I will: *Wear shorts not capris! *wear dresses all the time. *Not be afraid of seeing someone I know at the grocery store. *Be confident again. *take my kids to the beach. And wear a bathingsuit i love not just one that covers it up. *Leave the lights on (wink, wink) *wear boots. *be confident enough to show off my arms and my beautiful tattoo. *make friends. *RUN! I think I could do this all day! |
I like this! Its good motivation. I posted it on my fridge hah
When I get there I will Walk around the beach in my bikini, confident! Buy hot lingerie and actually feel comfortable Wear a short skirt Change my whole wardrobe from fat clothes to hot clothes Help others with their weight loss journey Keep the weight off Most importantly love myself in my own body |
For me I think a lot of it will happen on the way there not just when I "arrive." So my list includes both.
Ride horses again. Go rock climbing. Do more difficult hikes. Go pheasant/duck hunting. Take up fly fishing again. Attend the Washington Outdoors Women's camp/weekend. Take more pictures. Buy a nice bathrobe. Go on a cruise. Stop snoring (I hope). Take up a sport like basketball or softball. Do three pullups. Go whitewater rafting. |
When I get there I will:
* Be able to shop at old navy in the regular size section * run 5 kilometers without stopping * Do the grouse grind (VERY difficult but beatiful hike in Vancouver) * Take my sons swimming in a real bathing suit * Leave the lights on (this is a big one for me, I am currently terrified to leave the lights on) * Smile more and overcome this depression * Ride a horse (my husband has been asking me for years but I just can't because of my weight) There are just so many more! |
When I get there.....
I will get me a beautiful black and white bathing suite. I will go on a cruise. I will wear skirts and summer no sleeve dresses and shirts I will wear high heels more offen I will keep a tan I will have lots of confidence again! |
Having just come back from shopping where I had to buy an outfit I didn't want to buy for a party that I don't want to go to...
When I get there... I will go into my closet and remove all of the clothes and take them to be donated... I'm tired of buying clothes to "hide this" or "make this look smaller"... I will feel comfortable in my own skin I will wear shorts and tank tops I will take full length photos and not hide behind people I will never let myself go back!! |
Great thread, but you might feel comfortable doing some of the things on your list before you get to goal.
When I get to goal, I will... ....train for a marathon, I already run a bit, but I am not ready for a marathon (or even half-marathon) yet ....try my damndest to not slip back into old habits and gain my weight back ....not be able to use my weight as an excuse anymore as to why a guy won't like me! I'm getting more confident all the time now when it comes to men, but a small part of me still feels "too fat". This is how I grew up thinking and trust me, I don't mean to insult anyone...I never thought of anyone else as "too fat for love", just me. Weird how our thought processes work sometimes ....wear short skirts and high boots |
when I hit my goal I will:
sign up for pole dancing classes me + DH + being held up against a wall = naughty fun! lol get a new wardrobe be in front of the camera more instead of just the photographer dance around in my goal pants ;) run around the yard with the kids shock some people that haven't seen me in a while ;) not worry about the plane seat next time I fly make maintaining my new priority! |
I will
* No longer have to take blood pressure medicine! * Walk into a clothing store and not worry if they have my size. * Not cringe when people make comments about what I eat as if they know the sum total of my diet from looking at a single meal. Both good and bad comments. * Do more active recreation such as hiking without worry that people will judge me for being slow because I'm fat and sweaty. Even if I am slow, my body will be in good enough shape to not sweat so much and to be able to tackle physical challenges. Like someone else said, there are certain things I don't see myself doing at my goal, like wearing a bikini or heels. I'm not a fan of either swimming or biking. Certainly not getting any body part pierced. I went with a friend who did her belly button and nearly fainted! :) I've been trying to practice a plan where you act as if you have achieved your goal so that it desensitizes you to the fear of change, such as buying and wearing sexy underwear (no one to wear them for but me, but still) and cute clothes. However, there are certain things that it's hard to do until you're actually there. Edited to add: I see several people mention riding horses. What is the weight limit for horseback riding? I hadn't thought about that before. |
It depends on the horse & the experience of the rider...there really is no weight limit on horseback riding in general. I go riding almost every weekend :) But I didn't ride at my heaviest.....mainly because I was too tired to even try to mount (even with the help of a mounting block).
|
When I get there, I will:
Dance on top of the bar again! Wear sexy cloths Play baseball with my kids wear a bathing suit Be confident, happy and Find the love of my life!!!! |

When I get to goal I want to go out to dinner at a fancy resturant with my hubby in a stunning outfit and then go to a bar or some event and feel beautiful. When I get to goal I want to take my kids to the fare and wear an adorable summer dress and not the jeans and shirt I usually wear. When I get to goal I want to take a vacation to the beach and also sign up for a YMCA membership and take my kids swimming. When I get to goal I want to wear cute little workout outfits when I take my kids for a walk and not sweats and a baggy t-shirt. When I get to goal I want to wear lingerie for my hubby. When I get to goal I want to stay at a fancy hotel with hubby and have him carry me over the threshold (never did that when we got married). When I get to goal I want to not only be thin but feel fit and in shape. When I get to goal I want to get rid of all my fat clothes and replace them with cute, colorfull thin clothes! |
When I finally get there I will:

So a 1000 pound horse (which is fairly average) can take a 200-250lb rider. The experience of the rider makes a big difference. A beginner doesn't know how to move with the horse or balance themselves very well. It's more work for the horse to carry around a "sack of potatoes" than an experienced rider. I think someone under 250lbs can ride just about any saddle horse if they know how to ride and a beginner just needs to make sure they ride a slightly larger horse. I could find a horse who could support my weight right now if I really wanted to but I'm waiting for summer and hopefully the 250 range. |
start saving all my money for skin removal surgery.

Wonderful thread!
I will: 1. Finally buy a pair of jeans! I haven't worn a pair since before my son was born more than 8 years ago! 2. Burn my girdle! :carrot: 3. Get rid of all of my fat clothes, ex: any clothing with an x behind the number and all of my elastic waist pants. 4. Make love in the daylight. :p 5. Go to the beach and instead of flaunting, just delight that I have the confidence again to feel that I belong there. 6. Go to Disney World. The last time I was there, more than two years ago, I sat down on a ride and had I not had on a long short, people would not have seen my thigh almost stuck on the side of the ride. It hurt so bad but I didn't show it as I might have embarassed myself and would have had to get off the ride. Later on my thigh was bruised and in pain but I help onto my foolish pride in order to say, I can go on Disney rides in order to go on with my ex. That was one of the most humiliating days of my life. I was too big for a ride. I still cringe at the memory. Next time I go it WILL be different! 7.Tell my ex husband to go fornicate himself with an iron pole. He made nasty comments to me about my weight, one time in front of my son (he was young and didn't understand thank goodness but still what a jerk) and he told my mom all the time that I will never loose the weight and I will stay fat. Wow I am down more than 30 pounds and he was giving me side looks when I dropped off the kids to him. Jackass! 8.Not sneak around to the grocery store. I ran into a guy who knew me when I was small (a looooooong time ago) and I had to do a David Copperfield disappearing act hiding behind the canned vegetable and the bread in order for him not to see me. Can you believe I changed the way I did my shopping in order for this guy to not see that I blew up like a bomb? Not anymore. I plan on going to the store and if I see him, whatever! ;) There will be no need to hide. 9. Take full length pictures! Have not done those since three months before my son was conceived!!! My husband wants us to do pics so bad but I can't because I know I won't be able to look at myself at this size even those I have done very well and am continuing. |
When I get there I will...
-ride a horse and take dressage lessons -sign up for an adult ballet class -never wear another thing with an elastic waist again! -hike up Mt. Robson -flaunt my weight loss in front of my old boyfriend (just for kicks) -RUN for hours with my kids |
is anyone else crying after reading this? its such a shame that being heavy prevents us from doing these things we want so badly. good thread tho ;)
I will: be much more confident in life wear cute clothes that i am comfortable in be a more active mom with the kids maintain my weight more self esteem maybe a tummy tuck, LOL (and im sure many more things) |
Ooh Cfmama ballet - I don't think ballet is for me but I would love to learn to dance in some form. I really like square dancing except the women have to wear those hideous dresses in most clubs -- I know it's a tradition but...yuck.
I am so uncoordinated but if I could learn ballroom dancing or salsa or something I think I would never have to exercise (formally) again, lol! |
When I get there I will knit myself a cardi or jumper from some expensive, luxury fibre. :yes: It takes so much yarn to knit the tent-like garments that fit me now, the cost is prohibitive. :eek:
|
Adding a few just for fun:
Become a pole dancer Drape myself across a car in a Whitesnake video wearing just about nothing Pretend to be Lady Godiva and ride a horse naked with just my hair covering up the girls Be invited to a Playboy Photo Shoot Have a Victoria Secret model ask me what my secret is FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THE LIST!!!!! |
LOL I love that!!
|
aww this thread is so great.
when i get to my goal weight: -Be able to stand infront all of my family and friends at my sisters wedding and not worry about how big i look and think everyone is staring at me because of it lol -Lower back tattoo -where a sexy outfit to the bar. -Start playing soccor again. -maintain that weight for the rest of my life |
I'm trying to do everything I want to do now, while I'm losing. But when I hit goal, I'm going to build myself a wardrobe out of expensive, beautiful pieces that I can wear for years without having to wonder whether I'm throwing the money away because I'm going to get too fat for them. I can only imagine how good that will feel.
|
Why is this thread making me SAD today??? I'm PMSing or something I think LOL. What if we never 'get there'?? does that mean we're not entitled to any of these things? we can't feel beautiful or confident just because there's more of us??? I don't consider myself a militant feminist in any way shape or form, but i KNOW there aren't men sitting around making lists of things they'll do once they're slim enough, they just do it! Why will we punish ourselves in future when we don't achieve the perfect body we're dreaming of during all this hard work ERGGGGHHHHHH it must be PMS!!! LOL ignore me gang!!!

Trazey! Hugs! I agree, totally.
I *think* I'm there - there's nothing special I'm doing now. I did it all along as rewards for staying consistent. During my loss I rode a horse once I hit 220 (for the safety of the horse I was told), got a massage, bought a tiny race car, got a scooter as a present (from hubby), went to Victoria's Secret and got the clothes I wanted in the sizes I needed - I never put off nice clothes for goal. I treated and splurged every minute - it was a ton of fun! Costly, but so was fast food 16 billion times a week. I totally think it was what kept me on plan. Being a spoiled brat for ME. Now that I've passed my original goal I have no grand plans or schemes going on. This is it, I like it. |

I can't think of anything that I really want to do "once I lose weight," other than buy clothes in the relevant size. Everything else, I can do now. I want to live now. |

Now that makes total sense Rodeo. Totally.
I do believe though that rewards and experiences (when they wouldn't possibly compromise your health) should be a part of weight loss when feasible. For me at least, understand - they made the journey itself more positive. Now that I'm about at goal that's reward enough. |
