Things I can do and am proud of because of what I have already lost:
my hips and knees don't hurt so much
I can sit with my legs nicely crossed
when I get out of the shower I can wrap a towel around myself comfortably
better sex
I'm proud of what I look like
I don't get puffed on the stairs
playing on the floor with the kids is more fun (and its easier to get up!)
I don't seem to sweat as much
my cooking has more variety of taste and styles
I can tell the difference between hungry and sad
Things I miss or regret about the journey so far:
that really full feeling after a comforting meal, I still experience it occasionally but I don't enjoy it anymore
I'm discouraged that I can't loose at the same rate I was early on
never having enough clothes that fit :)
Things I'm looking forward to at goal (71kg):
Buying my clothes in the regular stores and benefiting from nice styles and nice prices
changing peoples first impressions of me
Things I'm not looking forward to:
I'm afraid people with think I hated myself the old way
I'm afraid my sister will hate me
I need more in the things I'm looking forward too. Any suggestions?
That's a hard one, things to look forward to. I am with you on the clothes thing. I had never thought of the first impressions before, but now that you mention it, it is really true especially in clothes shops. I am also looking forward to being happy again and not having my life revolve around food. Food has controlled my life long enough.
