What were/are your weight loss fantasies?

HI BAF,

While I am not as big as I used to be, I definitely still have a ways to go. I reminded myself the other day that I still have some weight loss fantasies to achieve.

When I was a overweight teenager, I was taunted a lot.  One of my cousins nicknamed me Winnie the Pooh. Even...made a rap song about my weight. Yep....he was a skinny a**hole. Anywho, I often fantasized about losing all the weight and showing up in a school talent show...and coming from behind the curtain to reveal the new me. I would no longer be fat but slim and drop dead gorgeous... Diana Ross's song, I'm coming out would be blasting in the background. I would be coming out of my FAT shell to reveal the slim girl.

That was a nice fantasy....but I am talking about the fantasies that can come true....or realities...not yet realized.  I have conquered the one about buckling my seat belt in an airplane, crossing my legs, riding on an amusement park ride and touching my toes without passing out....lol. There are others like shopping at will in any store, running in a marathon and hiking 20 miles. I think these things would be the epitome of healthiness in my mind. I would have an overall sense of well being if I was able to accomplish these things.  

What about you all....what are your wl fantasies?               

..........Why is there always a man in your past that you just want to get back at??  Well.....Many years ago, I was involved deeply with this younger man.  He was a slim fitness instructor.  We hit it off, but he always seem to keep me at a distance for some reason.  I began to work out, and dropped about 40 lbs on my own.  He saw I was serious about getting in shape, and volunteered to train me.  Under his wing I dropped another 35 lbs and really added some great shape and tone to my body.  I was tight!!  I had gotten down to a size 14 and thought I looked great!  We dated "under cover" for awhile and were really close, but rarely publicly.  Long story short, I had a couple of accidents injuring my back and gained 100 lbs back!  He constantly made sly remarks about my weight, and said that he wasn't interested in big girls over a size 12.  Then one day he just walked away and never said another word to me!  Just cut off all communication!...........I have this vision of one day just bumping into him wherever........., looking my phinest, flashing this 2.5K engagement ring, bumping this size six tight short red mini with toned legs all muscled up........:-) saying "how you like now MOFO".....................

J......(one can dream...:-)

Bwahahahahahaha....Even before he sees the ring...I would love it if he could have the nerves to try and holla before he recognizes you...lol....let him then stutter several times to get the words out...J J J Janice is that you. You then politely say yes and inform him....that he has a piece of something green struck between his teeth...lmao...priceless!! ~(some dreams are wonderful)~

Ahhh...Lisa!  That would be priceless! It's been over 7 years now, so I'm sure that he would not recognize me.  One day......one of these days....!!..

That would be the best, you know he would be breaking his neck to get back with you.

My weightloss fantasy was to have a flat stomach and tight body.  Having wls surgery at 54 and having been overweight all my life, not having kept fit by exercising and eating healthy.  It was definitely a fantasy. 
With that being said I can still reach my goal of a tighter stomach with the help of a girdle.  Exercise to get in shape and keep working at getting this weight off and toning it up.

That certainly is an attainable goal.  As much weight as I have lost, my tummy area is still my problem area.  It's not too bad, just a little small apron, but an apron nonetheless.  Thank GOD for Spanx!!......

So true.

For sure you can get to goal. The one thing that I realize...as much as I want a tight tummy too....most women (even skinny ones) have a tummy issue. I try to think of it in those terms...and then getting the tight tummy becomes secondary. My tummy tuck was rejected by my insurance....so rather than pay out of pocket at this point...I will wait until I get all of this weight off and access the situation again. Lets focus on getting too goal. We are in this one together. 

My weight loss fantasy was to have WLS, get really skinny and be able to eat as much junk as I want and not gain a pound.   Well I did get thin, and I did eat alllllll the junk I wanted but the ending didn't turn out like I hoped.   lol
