Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

[kkat55]

Thinking back to special occasions...do you always remember the weight you were at that time? (Is that part of your memories?)

For example:

At my wedding I weighed ___.

At my high school graduation I weighed ___.

The birth of each of my babies I weighed ___. Afterwards I weighed ___.

Do you do stuff like that?

I dont think I do to be honest, although I was at my mums house last night and she had some photo's displayed of my brothers wedding and I was best man so I was in a few of them. It reminded me of when I was fatter. But I dont really think of all special occasions like that.

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

I have never thought about this....wow!!! Yes sometimes!!! ..especially birthdays....probably the reason I set my goal date for then ..instead of picking a weight to end up I figured that I would call it good on my birthday... over a year ago ..whatever my weight was I was going to stop trying to loose then ...I did stop ...and then lost more...probably because I was not fixating!!!

wow this is really food for thought ...this thread huh???

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

I think I do. Yes I must because I can look at a picture of me and I can tell you what I weighed at the time. lol

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

I do occasionally. But I can hardly tell you specifics, just a weight range on most things. But there's a lot of times that I could care less.

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

I do the same thing. There are several pictures in my photo album where it is the first thing I think of...oh, I weighed ___ in that one. I guess that is another obsession, ay?

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

Yes I definitely do. I will be talking to someone about something in our past and remember what I looked like at _____ weight and how ugly I felt. I also recall past experiences by songs that were being played at the time. My weight has always been a big issue with me and so many of the sad love songs I associated with my weight. Sounds dumb, but true. When I starved myself skinny back in 1974, I used to sing the song...HUNGRY FOR THE GOOD THINGS baby, by Paul Revere and Raiders and I sang that song cause I really was starving myself.

What song do you associate with your success?

I do the song thing with boyfriends. I always have a special song that makes me think of them at the time we're dating. If I hear it on the radio, I can almost make myself go back all those years to those same feelings. Funny how music can do that to you, ay?

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

I can clearly associate a lot of past occasions with my weight, mainly because special events usually demand something special to wear. As my weight has bounced up and down and up and up over the years, I've frequently had to pull out and try on for fit a number of outfits for a given occasion before finding one that fits. I remember which outfits I wore for most special occasions. Photos remind me too, as more of them get taken of me on special occasions than at other times.

Re: Thinking Back to Special Occasions...

kkat, I'd have to say that this is my new theme song....I hum it all the time to keep me motivated: I heard it on Dr. Laura program and thought it summed up my feelings

New Attitude
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude

Runnin' hot, runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload
It was extreme, ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-extreme
It took it so high, so low
So low, there was nowhere to go
Like a dream
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude

I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude

I'm wearing a new dress (New), new hair (New)
Brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I've changed for good
It must have been the cool night, new moon, new slight change
???More than to figure??? but I feel like I should, yes
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude

I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...ooh...
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude

I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've got love like I never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new attitude
