Hi,

It's almost summer, and I'm thinking of where I want to be by NEXT summer.

So, this will be the last summer where I:

Weigh over 200 lbs

am too embarassed to wear shorts outside of my home

do not wear sleeveless shirts or sundresses

am embarassed to wear a bathing suit (but I do it anyway)

feel horrible in the hot weather

Anyone else have a list?

Sherry

...won't wear a tank top

This will be the last summer where....

I stop telling myself how fat and lazy that I am, and start telling myself that I am beautiful, and on my way to Onederland!

This will be the last summer where...

I quit wearing shorts because I think others will be appauled by me. I will wear them, and wear them proudly.

This will be the last summer where...

I try to cover myself up in bundles of clothing, trying to hide all the flab. I will show a little more skin, and feel proud that I can start to do that.

This will be the last summer where...

I feel like I am going to die of heat stroke in the summer, and get out of breath walking a few blocks.

This will be the last summer where...I am fat!

I'm on my way Onederland!!!

This will be the last summer where:

I avoid the amusement parks b/c I can't fit into the cars comfortably on the roller coasters.

(more to follow)

this will be that last summer i wear a one piece!!

it's two parts for me next summer, even if i have to go with a tankini because of residual strech marks. heh.

Sheila,

I want to reach 199 by Labor Day too! 23 pounds to go! I d idn't think about the eating ice cream in public, but that's definitely another one. I hardly ever eat ice cream in public..usually by low fat frozen yogurt and eat it at home.

take care,
sherry

Ben & Jerry's once wrote that people eat ice-cream in two differents ways:

Biters & Lickers.

Biters feel weird seductively licking their ice cream in public and would much rather take a bite of it.

I'm a licker. And I love ice cream, even in public.

This is the last summer where I.....
-Purchase anything from the women's plus department
-be over 200 pounds
-do not wear shorts

This is the summer where I....
-Will learn to kickbox
-Have nothing but positive things to say about my body
-run.

4. Hide from myself

This will be the last summer I:

weigh over 200 lbs

shop in the plus-size dept for shorts

This will be the last summer I:

--Don't wear a swimsuit. Period.
--Weigh over 200 lbs.
--Get tired on long hikes/bike rides

This summer I will:
--Quit making excuses for myself. I don't lie to others, so why lie to myself??????
