Re: What's Your Motivation?

my inspiration...
-to be healthy so i won't die of a heart attack at 64 like my dear mom did
-to have the energy to do fun things with my children who are 12 and 21 and busy
-to feel good again after living for years with an evil ex in a sad and fat body
-and, well i admit it....good old SPITE. the evil ex is now married to a toad while i get to sashay around in size 6 clothes. imagine the pure joy that courses thru my being when he does a double take and his family comments all the time about the way i look. it IS the best revenge
-my loving husband who thinks i am the best thing since sliced bread. sure makes things "funner" when i feel good about me!

Yeah!! down with exes and their toad looking second wife

Re: What's Your Motivation?

1. I have ALWAYS been big.. So part of it is just a personal goal for me that i NEED to accomplish. I promised myself that i was going to lose weight, so i need to keep my promise.

2. I have missed out on so many things: Going to the beach, pool partys, wearing shorts or short skirts.. I may have gone to the pool party, but i never got in my bathing suit, or i did and felt HORRIBLE the whole time!

3. I hate when i get up in the morning and i have to try on everything, because i feel like i just dont look good in any of my clothes anymore... I just want to walk in my closet and pull a skirt of a hanger and a cute shirt and just put it on and feel good! not" this shirt shows my back rolls, thses pants make me have a muffin top, my legs are too cheesey for these shorts, this dress wont zip up, these jeans wont even go past my thighs ETC ETC" Im just soooo sick of it..

4. I am going to Hawaii for my wedding / honeymoon in May and id love to be able to wear a swimsuit without feeling ugly ... Thats all i just want to sit there on the beach with my hubby in one hand and a cocktail in the other and NOT feel disgusting and ugly ::tear:: I dont need to be in some string bikini or anything like that, im even fine with wearing a wrap over my bottom half.. i just dont want to end up on the beach in capris and a tank top cause i feel tooo fat to wear anything smaller... :-(


So yeah thats MY motivation....

awwww congrats on your upcoming wedding! I just know you will make your goal and look like the beautiful bride you want to be, hang in there! plus you know your fiance' loves you just the way you are and that counts a lot! one of my big thing is I will lose this weight and then those people who would not give me a second look would be taking a double look..it is stilll the same me just smaller..is that weird thinking?

Get back to my pre-miscariage weight so I can try for a second child and a healthy pregnancy.

Awww i am sorry to hear about your Miscarriage, it is a painful situation I lost mine at 18 weeks, it was hard, hang in there and good luck!
