What keeps you going on this Journey?

Mine I can't wait to be able to go running!!!!!! I want to run a marathon!

Every step I take toward goal. Every time I need new smaller clothes. Every new victory spurs me forward...

I can't wait to enjoy taking the dog out! I love my furry baby but right now I am exhausted all the time and don't find joy in our walks. Also being able to pick up a bathing suit wherever and having it fit and not look like I'm stuffing 8lbs of dough in a 5lb container! I want to be active and energetic, going on adventures and slaying my imaginary dragons (or inviting them to tea, whichever).

I can't wait to fit on rides again at amusement parks. My dream is to go back to Disney World!

I can't wait to cross my legs and put my own tennis shoes on with less pain...

I can't wait to fit in a bathroom stall and .... do all I need to do in there.

I can't wait to fly again.

I can't wait to shop at Old Navy again.

I'd like to add another. Go into a Halloween store and get any costume I see and not go to the back of the store with the plus size velvet dresses to be a witch or a medieval princess or sown thing stupid.

For me, it's the memory of being skinny. Back in 1997 I was at my goal weight and I loved it. So to remind myself of what I'm fighting for I'm constantly remembering what life was like being skinny back then.

My goal is to rollerblade again. Also to get to Hershey Park and ride all the rides.

I can't wait to wear boots that can go up to my knees and aren't from the extra extra wide calf store!

I can't wait to b able to be more active with my daughter. She deserves a hands on mommy who can play with her for more then ten minutes at a time.

I can't wait to be able to wear cute shoes again... so tired of clod hoppers & tennis shoes!! Oh, I also can't wait for the day where I don't "hesitate" when I have to sit down somewhere just because I'm nervous about the chair collapsing or just not being wide enough.

I can't wait to wear a swim suit without being embarrassed and I can't wait to wear the tall zip up boots! I have fat calves so that is a big one on my list

What i want is pain relief lol if and when that happens i want to hit the trails biking, horseback-riding, swimming, thrift shopping, etc. Atm i do what i can and even force it when i cant because its an enjoyable activity. Like weed wacking funnest part of yard work but boy it can hurt

Jeans- I can't wait to wear cute jeans! I can't wait to shop anywhere I want. I can't wait to cross my legs. I can't wait to fit in the rides at amusement parks. I can't wait to run a 5k. I can't wait to be thinner than my physically gorgeous husband. I can't wait to have energy. I can't wait to sit in a chair without worrying if I will break it. I can't wait to wear tall boots. I can't wait to breathe while tying my tennis shoes. I can't wait to wear a swim suit. I love who I am on the inside. I know I am attractive. I m so ready not to feel shame about my weight anymore!!!
