I’m dreaming just like Blest told us to, but I’m not sure I can exactly put my dreams into words. I’ll try, so bear with me.
I’ve been ‘big’ for as long as I can remember. I’m not really sure I know what it is to be a ‘normal’ size. I’m on this weight loss journey because I’m determined to change. Things have to change, for my health and my sanity. I’ve had enough of being like this, and yet I’m scared stiff about what it’ll be like. I’m dreaming that one day I will be normal, that people won’t look at me and think ‘fat’. I know that these are supposed to be dreams about what we want to do once we’ve lost all the weight, but I honestly can’t think that far ahead yet.
Things i’m looking forward to include not being limited in which shops I can buy clothes from, having more energy, feeling like I fit in. At the moment my dreaming is focused on all those things, cos they do still feel like a dream idea. I’m striving to make them turn into reality, and I know noone can wave a magic wand for this one - it’s something only I can do.
Take it a little at a time. I love that you are setting small goals that you plan on reaching soon. I think that is very good for us. I look forward to the time when you reach a point where you feel you can dream bigger things. You have done so great to this point and you are becoming… You are such a beautiful young woman and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we all already see the beauty my sister!!! I love you and am so glad I have the privilege to share in your successes and your journey!!!!!!!!!

Debs, I know you are going to be able to do this! Keep up the great work! One day you’ll be able to look back at this and be able to see what an amazing thing you accomplished!

I could have written much of what you said Debs….I understand you being tentative about dreaming any bigger at the moment…I think your dreams are a perfect size and I’m so proud of you.
