Instead of eveyrone beign negative about there size, i thought id make a more positive thread about what we are looking forwards too when we lose weight, and what we love about loosing weight. We should all be more positive what we are doing is incredible, and it takes a very strong willed person to change their body.
Im looking forward to being comfortable. comfortable in what i wear and how i live my life.
Im looking forward to waring a bikini for the first time in my entire life and thinking, yes i can do this without emotional tourment.
i like loosing weight because it means ill live longer, and stronger. I like exercising because endorphemes feel great afterwards. I like not eating as much because no one can ever call me a pig again LOL.
This list is endless...
I want to wear a gorgeous dress to my graduation ball, and also not look like a beached whale in my graduation pics.
I want to be able to go into shops and buy clothes just cos I like them, and not cos they're the only things that will fit.
I want to be able to wear nice underwear, not huge white cotton parachutes with 3 inch thick straps and no underwire.
I want to be free of back pain, caused by huge boobs, which has curved my spine so my *** sticks out.
I want to go the gym and not feel like my running is going to cause a tsunami.
I want to feel attractive to my boyfriend.
I want to feel like my friends don't think of me as the fat one.
There are soooo many things to look forward to, I could go on and on forever, but you're probably bored reading this so I'll stop :P
My biggest aim is to weigh less than my husband. I just wish he'd stop blummin losing weight so I can catch up.
I also really want to have my blood pressure taken and not have the nurse/doctor go tut tut at it - and to get rid of a few other weight related health problems I've had.
Short term, though, is to wear a size 14 at Christmas.
I'm probably only a coupla pounds over where I wanted to be when I started out - in fact my original target was a few lbs above 'normal' BMI so I passed it - had to revise it down when I realised I was 'meant' to be thinner than I thought- not sure what I weigh now but am a big size 12 and happy with it.
All I wanted was to knock my PCOS symptoms on the head and feel fitter and have more energy. Oh and stop my thighs rubbing together and be able to buy clothes I liked rather than settling for what I could get in a size 18/20. Oh and not to be the fat mum when I picked up my youngest 2 from primary school. Now there's probably half of them fatter than me - and those thinner are beanpoles, so I'm happy where I am! Is worth it but you do tend to forget how far you've come, sometimes.
I can't wait til I can reach up to get an item from the top shelf at the grocery store and not immediately start pulling my shirt down to hide my tummy!
I want to be a size 12 by christmas...
Time is getting closer tho and I think I will have to settle with my UK 14...
I will be able to live with loosing 3 stone this year, altho I'd ideally want to be 147 or less...
Fingers crossed...
NIce thread FTT We done one very similar a few years back, Sarah started it, I check it out every now and then and it's very inspirational... nice to know what I wrote then too, although all the same still applies!
Chris - are you talking about this one? If so then, yes, I still look at it occasionally. That was on my original ID which is why the avatar is different.
Its interesting to read my first post on that thread to see how things have changed or stay the same. I sound so depressed. Reason no. 10 was always such a worry - I can't tell you what a relief it was when we actually changed that shower to something a bit more substantial!!!!!!
OMG - Just remembering ..... that was at my heaviest on my last yoyo cycle - I think I must have been about 17st at the time - I got all the way down to about what I am now and then I blew it - completely lost control when my daugher died. It wasn't my heaviest though - that was September last year.
Blimey that's some time back, Sarah! I didn't know you'd been here so long! Remember seeing you here around January, this year. I just look at your ticker now and am blown away by how far you've come and how well you've done.
AIMS..what do you want when your thinner?
