Very interesting question. When I reach my goal, I will text DH and tell him to get his wallet ready and book our weekend at GF! And then go dig out a dress I have that I love that I can't fit in anymore and put it on. I have quite a few that I haven't had the heart to get rid of, but there's one pink and sparkly one that I truly miss so I can't wait to wear it!
I am giving myself until Dec 2016 to get down to my goal (very very realistic), but if I am steady at loosing 5 lbs per month I should reach my goal by April 2016. I am debating whether or not I would want to use the GF treat in May 2016 doubling as an Anniversary weekend. We were thinking about using our miles to go to Disneyland though for a few days in May so if we take the leap on that, then I would much rather go there and save GF for Christmas when I hopefully have lost even a few pounds more. My goal is where I would like to be-- not exactly love to be, but I am trying to be realistic!
I'm most looking forward to not being ashamed of every photo taken of me. I cannot believe the pictures that are taken of me because I do NOT feel like I look like the woman in the pictures. I remember being so critical of my body before and now I look at those pictures thinking "what was your problem-- you look great!" So I hope this journey teaches me the valuable lesson to appreciate what I looked like back then and will look like again with a much less critical eye.
This is awesome! So excited for you!
YES! The cheese lover struggle is REAL!!!!
As for me in general, I slipped right on down that slippery slope this weekend after my fantastic Saturday.... We went to a Renaissance Festival and they were selling bags of kettle corn and today I just could not stop eating it... It was insanely addictive.... oh my gosh... I am embarrassed to type that I was literally sucking the salty sugar out of half popped kernels today when I realized I had a serious problem. The good news is it's gone.... the bad news is it's gone because I finished the big ole bag of it myself. We are going grocery shopping tonight though for HEALTHY food (no sugary popcorn!!!) so I can get back on track!
Same problem here! I am so shocked every photo I see of myself. Before I had DD3 it was my plan to go from 148 to 140 before getting pregnant because I couldn't *possibly* stand the idea of not being at my 'goal weight' and signing myself up for another 30 pound weight gain with pregnancy. Sheesh, that extra 8 pounds was nothin'! Now I am FORTY pounds from that magical 140. Oye. Definitely going to appreciate getting back there.
