What event do you want to look good for?

[BunnyD]

Does anyone have an upcoming event that helping to keep them motivated to lose weight?

I'm trying not to pin myself down to a certain weight by a certain time, for me all that does is add pressure and make me feel like I've failed if I don't meet that goal, but I know I definitely want to look better for my daughter's birthday party in late September. We're throwing her a 100 day party (it's a Korean custom) and I want to feel better about how I look by then. I've definitely been shying away from taking pictures with her because I'm not happy with how I look - it makes me sad that I'm missing out on capturing those memories because of my insecurities. So I really want a picture with her and my husband to remember the day. I keep that goal in the back of my mind when things get tough.

So what's a fun occasion that you're working towards?

I have a couple.

1. Christmas; a tradition I started with my family is that we take our family portrait every year to put in our Christmas cards.
2. My brother-in-law is getting married in May, and I'm the MOH!!! This is the first wedding party I've ever been a part of. I weighed a lot when I got married so there are only a few pics of my wedding that I actually liked. This time around (even though it's not my wedding) I WILL look good in every picture!

P.S. Good post!

I don't have a goal weight for this but my mantra is "fit by fourty" which is in January.
I am going to take a last minute trip unplanned... to where-ever... I want to look dynamite for it... whatever it is.

1. January is renewal for insurance, I was denied because of being morbidly obese. I am going to reapply. I am going to blow up and frame the denial letter and stick it on my living room wall as a reminder to NEVER get back to that horrible place in my life.


2. Second is Christmas. I want to buy a very sexy dress for our Christmas dinner party that I host every year with friends.

My DH and I are moving to Pittsburgh, PA, from Greeneville, TN (my hometown), in March. I'm going straight from country life to city life, and I really don't need the stress of being overweight when I get there on top of the stress of changing my whole environment. I need to lose at least 50 lbs. by then to get back to a weight I can live with. I am at 196 lbs. right now and on the rise!
