I really want to take a picture of me in my old 18 size pants and hold them out to "show" how much i lost.
(kind of like at the end of each episode of the biggest loser)
When i'm skinny i want to be able to wear shorts this summer, and show off my new belly button piercing (that i got as motivation to have a flat stomach by this summmer). i also want to put on a swim suit and not feel huge.
When I'm slimmer I want to feel comfortable in my body. A lot of that is going to be shifting an old attitude, but I think weight loss will help the process.
And! I announced at breakfast the other day that when I lose a chunk of weight, I will totally be wearing a bikini. Stretch marks, cellulite and all!
I want to add wearing shorts to my list as well. I haven't worn shorts out in public since well before High School and I don't even own a pair of non-gym style shorts. I've worn skirts, but I just never liked how shorts fit my body.
K8zilla I also wear a hoodie, sweater, or cover-up shirt almost daily. I would love to just feel confident enough to not have a baggy layer attempting to hide my belly, which logically I know makes me look bigger, but subconsciously it makes me feel protected.
mdchick You are not alone!!! I've caught myself staring in the mirror like rubbing where they should show subconsciously trying to see if the fat layer is getting thinner, lol.
When I'm skinny I want
-to be able to go shopping and be able to fit into any size 4 jeans comfortably!
-to be able to borrow my friends clothes
-to never ever again think " I don't want to go out tonight cos I feel too fat!"
I really want to wear a mini skirt or short shorts with flip flops and feel thin and confident. I carry a lot of weight in my thighs so I never wear anything short. If I wear a skirt I feel like I have to wear wedges/platforms to make my thighs look thinner. I just want to throw on some short shorts and flip flops and feel great!
Love all these wishes, think I agree with every single one!
I just want to have a body I can be proud of, basically. I want to be able to enjoy the wonderful summers that we get here in Barcelona, feeling comfortable in a bikini and wearing skirts or hotpants without my thighs chafing...urgh!
I took a photo of myself in a bikini when I got back on plan last week (showing off my muffin tops, fat rolls and jelly thighs!) and I'll be taking a photo in the same bikini every month to keep track of my progress and spur me on. I've lost 5lb in my first week so fingers crossed I can stick with my new lifestyle long term and start to see my wishes come true!
Good luck everyone!

I want to enjoy summer, I dread summer, even though I love the warm weather. I dread summer because summer equals less clothing. I cant wear my hoodie to cover up in the summer. I just want to enjoy outdoor activities like the beach. I want to wear cute summer dresses and tube tops!
1) I want to wear a shirt without wearing like 2-3 tank tops, layering shirts, cami, ect. underneath it. I also constantly layer, even in summer, and want to just throw on one layer and be okay with that
2) I haven't worn a skirt since I was 9 years old. I want to go out and buy a skirt and put on some heels and flaunt my new legs
3) I wan to swim in public without wearing a shirt and swim pants over my suit to hide my swimsuit body!
I want to sit on my husband's lap
I want to feel comfortable in my own skin
I want to wear what I love
I want to stop thinking about my weight
I want to feel at peace with myself
I want to love myself
I want to be proud of my accomplishments
I want to wear the clothes that I like, as opposed to whatever fits. I want to walk into a room and think about how good I feel as opposed to how I think everyone is thinking bad things about me because I am fat. I want to wear short shorts and mini skirts because I never, ever have!
