[B]What are you going to do once you reach your ultimate goal??
I'm going to buy a new wardrobe, for one. I might also feel comfortable enough to start taking a dance class. Maybe audition fro Canadian Idol (just kidding, I'm too old).
How are you going to maintain your new self?
I think if I feel better about myself I might feel more inclined to do things like keep my nails polished and manicured, and give myself regular facials. I should be doing those things now but I need to treat myself to non-food treats to tell myself I'm worth treating myself special. Basically, all around taking better care of myself. I want to continue with the eating habits and exercise habits that will have caused the loss in the first place.
Are you changing your lifestyle for good?[B/}
Yes, definately. That's what needs to happen to lose weight for good. I want both. However, I will try not to be too legalistic about it as not to feel guilty for the occasional dinner out or treat.
[B}What are you really trying to accomplish?
A total lifestyle change. I want to feel good about me. I want to feel sexy for my husband. I'm not doing this for him but I want to be confident in the bedroom. I want to prevent weight related diseases and I want to get rid of the yeast problem for good. I want to be example for my kids and I want to feel healthy and have more energy. I feel like my weight issues have prevented me from setting goals and dreaming dreams. I want to get those things back.
