WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO when you reach your goal?

ohh I will buy a lot of new clothes that fit!
I am in serious need of a new wardrobe so going shopping will be the best reward ever. especially asking for smaller sizes than an 11, that is very tough to find here in mexico. many cute clothes hardly get to a size 9 :s blagh.

also I will pamper myself :D a bit more. have a pedicure and manicure, a facial, a massage. all those things I don't usually get
 
The first thing i'm going to do is cry tears of joy.

Then I'm going to go buy a new wardrobe. (I have a rolling account, I add 100 bucks a month, so the longer it takes... the more clothes I get heh. Damn it that's counter productive!)

And I'm going to buy my first little black dress... and go clubbin!
 
I will definately splurggge on some nice clothes.. dying to fit back into my Seven for Mankinds :(, thats just a short goal thats around the corner.. but really I want to be able to wear sun dresses and tank tops and just be confident. Im tired of always wearing black LOL!!!!
 
1.) Cheer
2.) Have a physical (to assess my health)
3.) Reassess my fitness goals and set new medium/long-term goals
4.) My boss has offered to take the team out to lunch to celebrate when I get to goal...my whole team at work has watched me lose this weight and most of them have been really supportive. I even inspired a couple of them to start going to the gym themselves! My boss was like "Yeah when you hit goal the whole team is going to go to CiCi's to celebrate" and I was like "Yeah, and I'll gain 10 pounds the next day!"

I have always thought of this as a multi-phase process and the most severe threat to my health last year was my excess weight. With high blood pressure and a family history of diabetes, my docs were telling me to get rid of my excess weight...fast. So once I'm in the "normal" weight zone, I can focus less on losing poundage and more on refining my shape and achieving the toned and defined look that is my ultimate goal.
 
OMG Bare Naked Ladies!

Hilarious. Can I join you ha ha - we can have a WFL parade.

i've said it before i'll say it again.. I am walking naked down fifth avenue (I just seriously hope it's summertime so i won't freeze my tuckus off :D )


Here are mine, here's the original quote from Curvie Girlie:

Imagine yourself at your goal....the day you step on that scale and the numbers read EXACTLY whatever you wanted...or even surpassing it....your body is perfect...your mind is centered...your moods are up!

What is the first thing you're going to to?

What's the second thing??

What are your plans?

Be as selfish, vain, ostentatious, proud, and obnoxious as you want! No holds barred!


This should be fun!


MINE:

1. More tattoos on my back/ribcage area (I have some flowers and stars I'm planning to add, maybe others when i think them up)
2. Get boyfriend
3. Uhm, thats about it.
4. Oh yeah and dance naked around my house (when I get my own - not living with my PARENTS anymore).


MORE GOALS:

1. Learn to sew dresses for self and nieces
2. Learn to cook well
3. Learn to bake, like donuts and terrible stuff like that
4. Learn to drive stick shift
5. Save enough money for a used black Mitsubishi Lancer
6. Save enough money for house/condo
7. Put myself through graduate school somehow
8. Pay off old debts, stop getting traffic tickets, get my credit rating back up.
9. Move to NOCA -Northern California forever.
10. Be the perfect daughter, friend and girlfriend. Patient respectful and kind.
11. BUY A DRESS FROM THEORY IN A SIZE 2 or 4 from their NYC STORE. Which is basically the only sizes they sell anyway.


I'll be honest. I really just want to look good naked.

Basically I want to buy tights like these and wear them and look good in them like the illustrious and lovely Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. (New season starts MON Sept 14 @ 9pm--FASHION + INTRIGUE, what else does a girl need?)

Falke Monroe Hold Ups from My Tights

Props to the writers of gossip girl for writing the brand's name into the last episode, probably knowing that girls will die to get their hands on these tights. Blairs were black on black polka dots if I remember correctly though, and I like those too.

I know theres something wrong with me but Serena and Dan bore me to death, nate bores me. Only Chuck and Blair interest me because they get past the bs are honest with each other, and have great chem. I had a similar relationship to this but it didnt last sadly. Oh well. I have hope for the future. Hopefully I'll come to my senses and be in an adult, sensible relationship sometime. Who knows.

In the meantime, this gets me hot:

YouTube - Blair Seduces Chuck (2 x 08 - Pret-A-Poor J) (Gossip Girl)

Gotta love Youtube.
 
Not trying to knock the purpose of this thread, but I've found its crucial to long term success to not have an ultimate goal in mind, at least not in terms of a number on the scale. My goal has become to live and eat healthily, and let my body adjust as it will. Sure, I might try to lose fat, I might try to gain muscle, but there is absolutely no point I could ever get to where I would say ok, thats enough, I made it, lets celebrate. It just won't happen. My body will never be perfect, and I can always work harder to make myself better/healthier. As long as I can force myself to accept that fact, I know I will be successful in maintaining my new healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life. I've faltered before... I got to a number/look I thought I could be content with, only to find that becoming content let me slide back into old ways, and gain more weight back than I ever imagined I would. It won't happen again.


All that being said, I still have fun, and there are still things I look forward to doing that I wasn't able to do before as a result of my size. I still have mini goals, and my next goal is to be able to ride the major roller coasters at Cedar Point. When I achieve that goal, I plan to spend a day at the amusement park doing nothing but coasters non stop, trying to see how many rides I can get on in a single day, specifically focusing on the ones I wasn't able to ride before. That will be a fun day. Only question is whether I'll make it by the end of this season, or have to wait for next. I trying really hard for this season - halloween weekend, <30lbs to go... I might just have enough time to make it.

To add to what MAR said, I'm ... I guess I'd have to say bothered to a degree ... by the people who have listed things like "get a boyfriend" or "learn to [whatever]" or "be perfect" as what they'll do when they reach their goals.

[Disclaimer - please note that nothing I say here is directed towards any one person in this thread - although I may use examples from various posts. I would be interested in hearing others' thoughts on this.]

I wonder why those are things that you'd put off until you reach your goal? I think a lot of fat people sort of consciously or unconsciously believe that either they're not worthy of these things while they're fat or they believe that when they hit their goal, suddenly these things will become reality simply by virtue of not being fat any more.

I do think there's a difference between saying "I'm going to reward myself with lessons or a purchase" ... I can see using those things as a motivator. But I would encourage anyone to not put off things that they want to do just because they're not at their goals yet.

Just .. I guess my perspective on the whole "what will you do" issue.
 
I wud be very very happy, It wud be like some dream come true! I always try to imagine how it would feel to be thin and confident about oneself...some day I shall know...

And When it happens...

I shall definately buy clothes first which wud enhance my looks, get a new haircut. And then I want to go and meet da two guys who once turned me down just cos I am fat. I want to spit on their faces and make them realise how bad it feels when people judge you on your looks only.

I guess am just too angry and emotional, maybe I wont do it when I actually get slim, but its nice to imagine:)
 
I think the same as every gal would do - go shopping for a lot of clothes you wouldn't wear when you're bigger!!

And then go out looking gooooood in them. =)
