I dream that I will be able to walk without pain in my feet or hip. I'd like to be able to walk my dogs....and if I look a little younger and my husband notices so much the better :)
Plus...I'm going to teach kindergarten next year (after years of middle school) and you need to be agile to work with little kids....
I like what TrudieC said!!! Good stuff in that! Actually, all make good points. I want to feel good from the inside out. Plus, as I age I have to be concerned with health issues that never used to concern me. AND I have this bum knee that definitely feels better carrying around less weight. I read that for every excess pound one carries, it's like 3-4 pounds on the knees. WOW!
Health has to be at the top of the list. I've come to appreciate how precarious health is. Your body may be able to handle extra weight one day, but that status can quickly change without warning.
In addition, I don't want people to see me as just a fat person, I want them to see my other qualtities. This goes for how I am viewed at work, in public, and by friends and family.
And while working to overcome my weight and emotional eating is time consuming and probably a life-long pursuit, I prefer the postive energy and thinking associated with these goals over the negative thinking and feelings that came along with my poor lifestyle.
I have a dream to be one hot momma. Seriously, I would love to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, or close to it. So that when we do have another baby I have a cute baby bump, instead of people just wondering if I'm fat or pregnant.
I dream my DH will always say i look AMAZING!! And peeps who havent seen me in awhile will say wow you look different, and when i do have kids that i will still be in shape and bk to exercising as soon as i can!! Oh and that i will be able to run and play with them and not sit on the sofa and watch them instead! 1 one more thing we went to this water park a couple years ago and to get up to the top of this slide OMG the stairs were a nite mare i hope i can go bk and visit again and run all the up those steps not feel like a coronary is coming on lol!!
I dream that I will have the energy and strength to keep up with my grandchildren when they come, to avoid an old age stuck in a rocker and a nursing home, to be a very attractive, full of life and crazy woman for the rest of my life, and to be propositioned by a sexy 20 year old when I am 50 and happily turn him down :)
