Pixiefalls, I think being a fitness trainer would be amazing!

:) Sounds like fun to me.

I love to workout, it's just the eating part I have to keep control of!;)

I want to be considered one of those "healthy people", you know?
I want people to know that I'm funny because I'm actually funny, not just because being the funny fat girl is a form of social protection.
.. I really want to be smokin' hot. It might sound basic, but I really struggle with my feminist values and weight loss. I largely feel that by wanting to be a skinny mini I'm just caving in to societal sterotypes. I have to tell myself that I'm doing this to be healthy and strong... but when it comes down to it,don't tell the feminists, but I want to be considered a "hot chick".. is that horrible?

I have so many secret wishes: I'll just do a few:

-I want to have a nice shape. I'm actually undecided about the actual weight number, but all my life I've been uncomfortable about my shape. I'm big chested and heavy up top, but extremely small at the bottom (meaning no hips, butt, or legs) Being overweight just makes it look worse. My wish is to get down to a size where I don't look so out of proportion. Not sure how much my boobs will actually shrink, but enough to look like I have some sort of waist.
-If I achieve my first wish, then my second is to wear a one piece dress.
-To be smaller than my "always used to be skinny sister". Now she's picked up some weight and I'd love to say I weigh less
-To be in single digit sizes on the bottom and something like a Medium on top. Right now I'm a 14 - 16 bottom and 16 on top.

Can I just say...that's EXACTLY how I feel? I'm in such a slump right now and having every other girl on the planet get more attention than me is pretty depressing. When I meet my SO in a few months, I would love for him to think "wow, she's hot!" His friends too, but more him... :dizzy:

NO, and I APPLAUD you for that. Most feminists I know will go on and on about how being thin is like submission to the men's ideal of women's bodies but being healthy and attractice is something YOU might want for YOURSELF. Isn;t that the important part? Aside from the whole female/male difference, we're all human in that we want what we individually want. If you want to be healthy and attractice for your own good, there's no wrong in that. I'm not a feminist in the least but I believe that weight loss or health isn't a sacrifice to to other people- its for my own good. I hate it when girls say "guys like <insert some stupid body part relation here>" because how would they ever know why I'm interested? I never said I was being healthy for guys to notice me!! And yet some women totally make assumptions. Ugh.

I want to surprise my boyfriend when I go visit him this summer (it is a long distance relationship) He loves my body just as it is, but he knows that health wise, I should be taking better care of me. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees a happier, healthier me. :carrot:

Pixie - I can relate to that! I have never really had nice clothes :( and now that I am losing weight, I don't want to spend all that money on things I won't use in a while. So I still feel frumpy some days. But I am so excited for when I hit my goal weight and even size 13 (I'll be able to buy things on sale at regular sized stores = VARIETY!) ... looking forward so much to finding my own style. :)

Wingding?

I shall be there! (If that's what you're talking about, lol).

If not, then I'm planning on going to most of the motorcycle thingies in Montana. Hah. Maybe I will see you there and not know it's you, but think in my head "Dang, she's hot!" :hug: ;)

I love this thread. I have two goals.

I want to be able to do a pull up and a cartwheel.

:strong:

And I'll take the sexy underwear too. Why not?

:devil:

I would LOVE to be able to do a pull up too! I've never been able to do one, even when I was a itty bitty skinny kid:o

I want to get rid of my backfat and walk without my thighs rubbing next to each other. I want to wear a skirt or a dress and not have to worrry if people are noticing how much they rub together. I want to stand with my feet parallel to my hips and for there to be space between my thighs.

I can do a cartwheel, much to my surprise! It's very rewarding to do one. An odd feeling, having every cell in your body being pulled the opposite direction of gravity!

oh, i love this thread!

i want my brothers to be able to carry me on their shoulders like they used to do when i was little, like this.

i want to be able to fit into those undies for little boys with the cartoon characters on them and dance around the house. :^:

i want to go out with my best friend (who's a size 5 and very VERY flirtacious) and have equal if not more attention from guys.

i want to gain self confidence and not be so darn shy! my weight definitely holds me back from this.

i want to have full body pics on myspace :lol:

i want to be able to wear my dream swimsuit (and its not a bikini either) and look hot even though it's a one piece.

oh yeah, and i also want to be smaller than my dad (he wears a 32 in pants)
