Here we go - I'm back and ready to make you think! HA HA HA HA HA!

Thursday Challenge Question:

List 5 examples of why YOU (not someone else, and not a reason motivated by someone else) want to be at your goal weight. And make em good! The more you visualize yourself at your goal, the better your chances of getting there!

#1 I want to be HEALTHY and not worried about if my weight is effecting my health.
#2 I want to be able to wear whatever clothes I want, whether it be slobby or dressed to the nines.
#3 I want to be slim, fit and trim, I love the way my body looks when its muscled and toned!
#4 I want to be able to smile without worrying about my double chin.
#5 I want to be free of the fat prison that I have locked myself in!

Well, it's only Wednesday night, but I'll answer anyway.

1) Health is the foremost reason.

2) I don't want to be the fattest person in a room.

3) I can save money by shopping in regular stores rather than specialty stores.

4) When I'm naked in the shower at the "Y," I don't want a lot of jiggly flesh showing.

5) I want to look really great as the mother of the bride.

Okay, let's see...

-I want to be able to walk down a flight of stairs like the young person I am (43) instead of experiencing pain with every step.

-I want something other than my next meal to be the subject of my daydreams.

-I want to be able to shop in the 'regular' size department. What I really hate is that stores often put the plus size clothing right next to the maternity section, and that bothers me somehow. Not to mention that there's such a better selection in smaller sizes.

-I'd like to wear a bathing suit comfortably, without worrying about rolls, dimples and bulges.

-I'd like to have improved breathing and blood pressure.

1. I want to feel better and know that I am healthy.
2. I want to set an example of good habits for my 2 1/2 year old son. I don't want him to have the same problems I did being a fat child.
3. I want to feel confident when someone is taking a picture of me instead of scared of how fat I am going to look.
4. I want to be able to go to any store and buy cute, stylish clothes that are sized in single digits.
5. I don't want to end up being a fat old lady who needs people to help turn over because my poor old body can't schlep my fat around anymore.

1. I want to live past 40. ( My Dad started having heart problems at 39.)
2. I don't want to be in pain when I get up like I am now.
3. I want to be able to walk through a crowd and here someone laugh and not think they are laughing at me.
4. I want to look good in a suit.
5. I want a better sex life with my wife.

1. I want to wear all the funky clothes I love but can't fit into (even though people will roll their eyes and say "Isn't she too old to be wearing THAT??)

2. I want to be fit, strong and healthy enough to climb the CN Tower again this October - in less than 30 minutes this time

3. I want to go to my 30th high school reunion next year and wear my old cheerleader outfit (okay, that ain't never gonna happen - I was 25lbs. less then than what my goal weight is now!)

4. I want the tops of my thighs to stop rubbing together and chaffing so that I won't have to spend most of the summer walking bow-legged

5. I want the self-esteem, confidence and pride that comes from accomplishing a major life goal

And for good measure...

6. I want to have wild and crazy sex with the lights on (and allow him to open his eyes)

I would like to:

1) Improve my health.
2) Have less aches and pains.
3) Be able to fit into the clothes I see that I like.
4) Be able to get around better so I don't have to tell my little grandson ~ "grandma can't do that".
5) Like myself.
