  • Food for thought

    I don't know if you guys have seen a post about "what will you do when you hit goal" well I posted some of the things I was looking forward to doing. After thinking about this for a while I decided to get up and do them, right now! What is this waiting around for, I think that if I keep waiting for everything to be right before I do things, then I will never do them. I mean what if I get hit by a bus tomorrow (God forbid), but let's just say it happens, then I wouldn't hit goal and I wouldn't do all those things that I was waiting to do.

    So today I picked up a copy of Leisure Learning (magazine with different classes) and I am signing up for Flamenco classes next month. In August I am going to pick up horse back riding, I don't care if I'm at goal or not, I do deserve to treat myself, right now, this very minute! What do you guys think?

    Shouldn't we love ourselves, spend time, energy, and money on ourselves regardless of our weight. I figure if I wait until goal to do all the things I want to do then I am saying that other people are right, that I don't deserve to do those things because of my wieght. Well I am sick of condoning that kind of attitude and am putting a stop to it immediatly.

    Maybe I am going a bit nuts with this. I know it is important to have goals, but for ME, maybe other people are different, but I need to learn to love myself no matter what. This WOE is a form of loving myself, another is excercising, cooking all of my own meals. All of these are forms of self-love, I just need to continue these things, extend them. So I am picking up Flamenco, maybe even Belly Dancing (I've always wanted to learn how to move like Shakira). I'll let you guys know how it goes.

    I think that sounds great, do what makes you happy!!!!


    As for me, I've always tried never to let my weight stop me from doing things that I enjoy, but sometimes, unfortunately, it does stop me :no I may not have to be exactly at goal for certain things, but I do get smaller in order to physically be able to do a lot of the things I want to do. But it doesn't matter to me, because I know I WILL get there! The only thing I'm seriously worried about is what my weight will be at my wedding. I know I'm obsessing about it, but I get my best results when i'm obsessed with a goal.

    Anyway, good for you for doing what makes you happy NOW! :joy

      Yoly you have the right idea. My dad was always a dreamer. Had great plans for retirement. He never made it.

        I'm happy for you that you decided to go for your goals now! Thats great, and I think its a big step to take! Way to go! As for me, I don't see them as something I CANT do now...I could. I just want them there to keep me motivated. Besides, I do pity the poor horse I would try to get on now! It would never recover...lol! But you go for your dreams, and I wish you every success. I also thought about doing the belly dancing exercise tape. It does look like fun.
