Is there someone you'd like to see after you reach goal?
Just for fun, is there anyone you would like to see after you reach goal? Possibly for a "haha in your face moment", someone who supported and rooted for failed weightloss efforts of yours in the past, or simply someone you havent' seen in a long time.
I'll start...
I'd like to see my junior high crush and one of my aunts, both for haha moments!!!
I'd like to see one of my good friends I havent' seen since high school graduation because I know she'd be so surprised and happy for me.
I want to see ME, the ME that is buried underneath this extra flesh, the ME that is outgoing, strong, happy, confident and sexy. I am all those things now, but when I get to my goal, I will be all those things MORE OFTEN and I wanna see it!!!
I guess I'd like to see my current crush. Have one of those magic TV moments where I look smashing and sexy in some dress and he just falls head over heels.
haha. I'm such a dreamer.
Other than that no one really. I'd love it if my mom would notice and be okay with me being a "small". She once bought me a really cool shirt and the sizing was larger, so the medium was really baggy. I said as much, and she replied saying, "Oh I noticed that... but I wouldn't want to buy a small." She sort of sneered that word. It made me wonder if one reason i've always struggled withy my weight issues and haven't really been able to lose weight is that I secretly worry my mom won't like it if I'm thin and pretty.
I DID go back to my old home town and had the pleasure of not being recognised lol. Which in a small town was quite a feat :P I did run into guys I had gone to school with - and I was completely ignored by all males while living here - and had an incredibly fun summer of having them all chase after me.
Love that, lyria!
I lost 55 lbs after college, and ran into a guy I had been TOTALLY in LOVE with (he told me I was his "best friend"), but he had married a tiny little wisp of a girl. It was AWESOME when his jaw dropped as he saw me, even with his tiny little wife at his side.
I also showed up at a wedding of a friend, and it was euphoric to see the surprise and admiration (and just a little jealousy...?) in the eyes of people who had just thought of me as the "token fat girl," as they saw the knockout I had become!
It's also a blessing, because one of my college friends had gained 50 lbs with her pregnancies, and asked how I lost my weight. I told her, and when I saw her a year later, she had lost all hers, too, so I got to celebrate with her! It's so precious being an inspiration to people.

My ex boyfriend! He´s the one who had a "bad relationship" with food and passed it to me. He was absolutely controlling and used to weigh and measure me (yeah, I know, I was so so so stupid back then) and he left me for a model wanna be.
When he left me I stopped the fasting techniques I had to use with him and gained a LOT of kgs, when I get rid of the extra kgs I´d love to see him and tell him "I did it the healthy way.." (yeah, I´m still mad at him lol)
I don't know. I guess maybe just all the really thin petite girls from my HS? Although I never feel like I got made fun of or finger pointed in all my HS years and after. At least not to my face.
And I know it WILL happen, but my mom's husband who always commented on my weight (even while I was a competitive swimmer!!!) I'd looooooooooooooooooove to see the look on his face when he's realizes that he is, in fact, a moron. Just like I've known allllllllllll along...
As cruel as it sounds, I would really like to see my former best friend from college. She's always been a stick and lately after going to grad school and doing a lot of drinking is actually a little...well...hefty. It would be nice to go somewhere for once and see her and be skinnier than her for a change. I spent four years playing second fiddle to her, and listening to her get hit on by every man in sight.
That's the only one I can really say I want bad.
I don't really know. Old crushes from high school maybe, and other high school people (that's when I was at my heaviest)... but then that means I'd have to put up with being around them again.
Seeing some of them now I wonder how the **** I had a good time in high school with a lot of these morons as friends. I still have a few actually good friends I keep in touch with, but most of them... stinking up the gene pool that's for sure.
that about sums it up for me too!!!! no but really my old best friend who was a size 0-1 in HS I miss her so much ... she is in Iraq and plans to come home in June of 08 ... and she's been there through all the "this is it" diets and loved me just the same when they didn't work ... that's one reveal I look forward too ....
