Who inspires you?

Ok, there are many things that inspire us, but WHO inspires you? And why/how?
 Ok, my brother who's only 7 months old inspires me with his little laugh and smile. It's cute!! My mom inspires me because she's so smart and pretty, I wish there were more people like her in the world! And of course, all the people I like in Hollywood. Hmmm, Good Charlotte, System Of A Down, and Hilary Duff.
Good Charlotte: they're self made and write excellent music!! I love them!!
System Of A  Down: They're Armenian American and are big Armenian Genocide activists and their songs are political and crazy!! Plus, Daron is cute.  I love this saying he says, "You gotta love yourself first, you know?" *oh yeah, they're self made too*
Hilary Duff: she's very pretty and self made, her songs are the best and she's a very great actress!! and she's not a fake person and she's not a diva.

Well... There's this girl...

haha I bet that one's been said before... Pretty self explanatory me thinks...

Those hot male abercrombie models LOL.

My father -- he's 61 yrs old, a Vietnam Veteran, and he works out 6 days a week -- sometimes twice just to give me company when I go at night.  He's a fighter and he's my hero :)

My horse because I look at her and go, "You don't need to carry around my extra weight." I want to be healthier for her and me.

various things...thin celebs as nicole richie and keira knightly, victoria beckham...i'd like to have those similar body shapes and wear those similar clothes...then attract the similar guys that they do, like david beckham ha.

yeah basically i'd like to wear the fashionable clothing i like that calls for pinthin figures, and i'd like to be skinnier than the guys i tend to favor. cause usually the guys i like are really slender and i feel odd being bigger than them, or being the same weight.

also theres health of course. i'd like to become a runner and you must be very small with little body fat to be the best.

and there are certain activities i keep holding off till i get to a smaller weight like dance. i'd like to get back into ballet, but not at this current size :\

pinthin I'd really like to see a picture of you. I've told you before that I think you have ED behaviour tendencies. Have you talked to someone about how you rationalize that being rail thin will land you a David Beckham type guy?

Jessica Simpson - she's beautiful, great figure, has her own purse and shoe collections, she's got it going on!! I wish we were friends lol.

Mine is more of a WHAT inspires me and that would be my future.  I want to be healthy and happy, grow old, have children and be active with them, see grandchildren one day.  Yep.

There are no models, no actresses, no singers that inspire me.  Just my own self and my future :)

*Me in the past! I've done too many mistakes and now I'm a lot more better. I will never let myself back to that person again I promise =)

*Jessica Alba - I want to have fit body like that!

my friend lynn, not because she's skinny (which she is) but because she always asks the hard questions, always does what she says she's going to do, and always expects and delivers complete honesty.  she's my hero.

My grandfather.  He is an amazing man with so much character.  He has always been active, running marathons until his back went out, then bicycling a hundred miles a week or so.  He took up mountain climbing in his 70's, hiking to base camp at Mt. Everest (~18,000 feet) and climbing to 20,000 feet on Aconcagua in South America (didn't summit though).  He now has the record of being the oldest man to climb Mt. Rainier (~14,000 feet) at age 83.  Yeah, my grandpa is a total stud ... and he also gardens, makes jam, and bakes some of the best bread on the planet.  I hope to be half as cool as him someday.

wow!  your gandpa is a god.

Good threade,

My sister and my mom inspire me. First, for a while I was smaller than them, size 12, and they are shorter than me and were size's 18. Then I had my son and we were all the same size but I lost the weight but not the size. So anyways, my sister and my mom are now slim and it took them almost a year to get where they are now. My sister is a size 6! and my mom is almost a size 9! and they are so motivated and focused and eat whatever they want, but they have this system that obviously works and is done the healthy way b/c they went to the doctor about it. So I got a ways to go. I'M SO JEALOUS!

the girls and gals in the over 200 club thread.  they have been with me every step of my 22.5 pounds lost. 

my grandpa inspires me too! i love him to death!!! he was in the Vietnam war, so, that is another reason why he's my hero. when he's gone, yeesh, idk what i'll do!!! i'll continue his legacy!!! he's so nice!!! i love him!!!!!
and to the persons grandpa who has the record at 83, wow!!! go him!!!
