Right, I need to take stock and stop making excuses. I need to understand that I am making the choices and no one else.

So these are my weight loss goals.

Some more long term than others but all boil down to reaching my goal weight! I'm mixing them all together.

1. Fitting into my wedding ring without it cutting into me
2. Reaching my toes without huffing and puffing to do a french pedicure
3. Having a bath! (Only showering at the moment as I can't stand bear to squeeze into my bath)
4. Being able to wear all my clothes and lingerie that are in storage.
5. And buy some new, of course!
6. Go for a jog without feeling that "the girls" are going to knock me unconscious!
7. To be thinner than my sister-in-law (family rivalry )
8. To fit into the ring hubby gave me for Christmas some years ago
9. Wear sleeveless shirts and vests.
10. Wear shorts
11. I'll never in my life again wear a costume, but I wouldn't mind going swimming.
12. Improving my self-esteem issues and valuing myself again.
13. Improving and re-igniting intimacy.
14. Looking good for my hubby!
15. Not running away when someone points a camera in my direction. (May as well be a gun!)
16. Donating all my "fat" clothes to a home for survivors of domestic violence (I can't wait to do this - already have one pair of pants on the pile!) Now this is an old term goal, and when I lost so much weight a year ago, I did donate all the clothes. Now I have had to buy new as I gained all the weight back.
17. Just realizing and knowing that this is MY OWN achievement and that I have strength to do it.
18. I don't know if I will be at goal, but I would like a substantial weight loss for my wedding anniversary in May.

I probably have even more but I think this is way more than enough for now!

The greatest rewards will be my own self-pride and without a doubt, that of my husband. Just to hear him call me beautiful, or sexy and be proud of me is a dream I am grasping with all I have!

Great to be able to record these goals and dreams.
