goals

just thought it would be nice to say where and what youd like to be doing by christmas ?

This is great!

By Christmas, I would like to be to my FINAL GOAL WEIGHT of 120-125. 

I would like to be able to be spontaneous about meals/snacks without getting freaked out.

I would like to be able to eat all my grandma's extremely fattening and delicious pies, cookies, and cakes when I visit her and to realize that it won't make me blow up like a balloon.

I would like to have a healthy attitude about exercise and food, and to exercise because I WANT to and because of the health benefits, not because of calories burned.

Mostly, I just want to be happy and ED-free!!!

Id like to be weight restored , and able to enjoy christmas unlike so many previous years not being able to enjoy anything due to feeling to ill

enjoy christmas lunch , choclates off the tree:) a party with friends and family , mid night mass (im not very religous but i like the christmas service )see the new year in with a bang , im excited already

Id also like to be doing some ie work

sounds amazing can i come to your grandmas  grt goals something we all should bare in mind when the ed takes hold h x

By Christmas I would like to be weight restored and to be able to eat  more intuitively.

I want to be able to actually enjoy this christmas, I say every year this christmas will be different and so far it hasnt been but this year I really mean it, this christmas is going to be different, I will enjoy it!

I want to be hopefully in a new job and have made new friends.

I want to be able to control my exercise habits as well and like coco said exercise because I want to but because I feel I have to.

Great idea sweet:P...its my fav time of the year...

I”d like to be on a healthier weight, with a healthier mind and mentality about everything related with Myself, food, relationships, etc.

I”d like to really enjoy the fascination of christmas, without fears, distresses...

I”d like to get back my inner shine...

...and pick up courage to face the real life!

Girls, you are all amazing, even im not posting im reading your thoughts every day, and you are really helping me! Thank you! Peckiesss:)

ALL i want by christmas time is to be as happy and content as I am right now. Along with enjoying a more active social life and dance classes, and being around 4kgs bigger and maintaing that. xx

i want to be at least at my doctor's weight goal of 111 lb. also i want to eat the candy out of my stocking. :)

Well may I first just say that I WANT a gingerbread man this year. I want to eat one that is. And anything else that I feel like having.

I want to be able to maintain my healthy weight without losing or relapsing and I want to be able to eat at whatever time instead of having set hours.

Great thread! :)

I definitely want to be weight restored by then, and not be out exercising while my family is sitting together in front of the fire talking and enjoying great food.. I'd also like to have some of my favorite wintertime treats, such as egg nog or pumpkin pie without any guilt whatsoever. The wintertime (specifically the holidays) have long been my most favorite time of year since I was young. I really want to make the most of this coming holiday season. The way I see it, it's the last winter that I can truly be a child.

aw, that's sweet.

okay, i forgot one: this winter i don't want to be so freaking COLD, lol! i'd like to actually wear nice clothes (i live in texas, so that's possible) and not layers and layers and layers of ugly sweaters and hats and underclothes.

 Ohhh that's a big one for me too. Heck not just in the winter, but in general! I'm actually quite chilly right now, despite the fact its 100°+ out here! :(

By christmas I want to be home and dressing my ferrets up in obnoxious sweaters that jingle jangle.

By Christmas time my biggest (and most obvious) goal would be to be fully weight and health restored. No more having to have set meal times and/or specific foods. Just to be able to eat what I want, when I want and enjoy it! (This means no resticting during the day in order to actually eat the Christmas dinner).

Another HUGE goal would be to buy/receive NEW CLOTHES this year for Christmas. I remember crying last Christmas because my mom bought my sister all these nice jeans. She told me that I could have a few tops but to wait until I gained a bit more weight for new jeans because I buy the expensive kinds and she was worried I would grow out of them too fast. I was just so upset and jealous.

Christmas is considered one of the happiest times of the year. We can and will do this guys!

Well first off to be weight restored, although at the rate I'm going I'll attain that goal by labor day, lol!  So I'll say to maintain it once I'm there.

To be with my family.  My last two Christmases were spent inpatient hundreds of miles away, so it will be nice to be home:)

To eat our traditional Christmas breakfast of omelets and fresh apple fritters, mmm:)  To actually go to the family get-togethers, instead of staying home to avoid the 'food situations'.

gooby: Ahhhhh yes, EGGNOG!!!  Oh my goodness, I had totally forgotten about eggnog!  Now I'm so excited, ooo I can't wait!

blueberry_lips: Oh I totally agree with the "no layers and layers of ugly sweaters and hats and underclothes", haha your choice of words is impeccible!  I'm sooo excited to be warm this winter!

1. To be weight restored (it is actually my goal to achieve this by the start of November in time for a beach holiday I am going on).

2. To have a happier christmas with my family - last year i was so uptight about food and my attitude was horrible as a result that it wasn't really an enjoyable time for me and my family.

3. To enjoy the food and not have any issues with getting seconds

4. To feel pleasure at seeing the contents of my stocking (chocolates etc) and not panic!

Congratulations to those of you who are that close to your final goal!!  I still have a long way to go, but between now and Christmas Day I hope to have lost another 25 (maybe 30) pounds.  My actual Christmas Day goal is to be able to resist all the goodies I know my sister will have for our family get together.  I'll probably take my own food.  My family is very supportive and understands my desire to not back slide, so they won't be insulted.  Only thing is, she makes the BEST eggnog in the world.  It's so foamy and frothy.  We'll see if I can resist it. 

Just a thought, Tessa, but it might be fun to check again after Christmas to see if we were successful.  LOL

I love this!

I want to be able to enjoy Christmas relatively ED free. Without worrying about the food, without worrying about how I look, without any ED behaviours present. I want to enjoy the time with my family and enjoy the food, because that's how it was when I was young. I want to be at a healthy weight with my periods back and my clothes fitting, and my skin glowing and my hair no longer limp and dry..thick and shiny again! I want to also be OKAY with the weight my body will be by then.

And I want to have found a good job, be able to enjoy summer (I'm in Australia), and have had some yummy cocktails. =)

Haha, I still had that problem a few years ago - and my Christmas is in the height of summer!

This Christmas:

- My second Christmas in Malaysia, so this time I want to enjoy it with a few good friends

- Roll on down to the pub for a few quiet ones in the sun

- Maintain my intuitive eating + non-calorie counting ways that I am practicing now

- Pinch everyone's chocolates when they aren't looking!

- Decorate my place to look Chrismassy. I have to admit, last Christmas I just couldn't be bothered. This year I am determined to up the xmas anti

:)

By Christmas:

Be close to, if not at my ultimate goal weight!

Have a healthy normal balance of food and exercise

Be confident in a swimsuit...Xmas here in Aus is SOOO hot, i love it! my family and i like to have Christmas seafood and champagne brunch at the beach:)
