Here's a little note i read everyday to make myself remember why i am driving my self crazy, eating right and exercising,

Ode to Self... Why I am working my butt off, literally!

I want to walk into ANY store any pick up clothing that doesn't have an X in the size or the word plus.

I don't want to have to wear "granny panties", as my kids call them, to hold in my belly.

I am tired of trying on 30 shirts or pants to find ONE that looks just OK. I want to be fabulous!

I want to enjoy my hubby's touch without saying in my head "please don't feel the lumps and bumps" lol

I want to stop having to buy large pants that actually fit my big waist but look like a tent on my thinner thighs. I wanna show off my great legs darnit!

I want to stop secretly thinking in my head "Man i'd love to shove this curling iron up your....well..." whenever one of my clients yaps about the extra 2 pounds she just can't seem to lose.

I don't wanna feel like an 80 year old women when i get out of bed in the am. No more aches and pains!!!!

I want to walk in a store and grab ANY shirt off the rack without having to say "nope, won't hide the belly" or "nope can't show the flabby arms"

I want my body to match my pretty face! AND my good heart!

I want to buy a "normal" swimsuit in a SOLID color. Not a patterned one or a skirt!

Most of all, before ANYTHING else.... I want to live a long healthy life, watching my kids, then grand children get married and have thier own babies

I read this, becuase these are the things I want for myself. I chuckle when i read the granny panties one eveytime lol, but it keeps my mind, body AND heart in check so I remember my goals! Anyone have anything to add to the list, go right ahead!!!
