if you had a fabulous new body (like MC), how would you celebrate?
i think i'd do a vow renewal - redo my wedding but this time with complete confidence instead of insecurity. with a tropical honeymoon without swimsuit shame.
I have a new body..and I haven't done anything exciting. Unfortunately, it often feels like I need to do a little more, then a little more..I don't know what the end goal is..every time I reach it, I change the goal.
I did buy smaller clothes, and I feel much more comfortable in my skin. I enjoyed being in my bathing suit every weekend this Summer. I have allowed myself to live my life without worrying about how fat I am.
Oh..and I love to take pictures with DH and DD now!
I have two left feet, but my husband loves to dance. Being fat and not able to dance means I don't dance anymore, and it makes me sad When I was thinner, I was more confident and didn't mind that I was a terrible dancer, so I did go all the time.
I'm working on it, and halfway to my goal. I've already had to buy some smaller clothes out of necessity, but when I reach my goal, I will (or will have been) completely clearing all the fat clothes out of my closet and taking them far far away, never to return. And replacing them with a whole new wardrobe. I will also be comfortable being in more pictures with my family (working on this and getting better already as the weight comes off). Other than that I haven't thought about how I'd celebrate - I guess I'd have DH take me on a fabulous vacation, just the two of us. And if I actually do make it to my goal, I don't see why I wouldn't wear a bikini, even if it's only in front of DH.

I would love to take family pictures with Lyndsay but I do not have a new body (yet). I very rarely am in pictures.
I would also buy clothes. I want to dress better but when you don't feel comfortable it's hard to pick cute things.
Me, too. I won't let j include me in pictures until I'm happier with my body. And I know I'm missing out. I'm getting closer though and trusting Libby to work some magic in a couple if weeks!
Take a vacation somewhere exotic and go to a nude beach. Flaunt it if you got it
This is too funny, but I'm not sure I believe you. Your posts often amuse me.
Ditto - you make me laugh on a daily basis.
I'm glad somebody laughs at my cheesy jokes
I don't know if I'd really be brave enough to strip down on a nude beach. If I had the body, I think I could take my top off. But I wouldn't want sand to get all up in my booty.

I might do this, but definitely get some really nice pictures taken and get new clothes....if we had the money. OH and probably head on over to my friends house who thinks she's the hottest mom that ever walked the planet and say "SUCK IT". I'm only a little jealous.

When 3 Became 4
I would probably WANT to celebrate by eating a bunch of food that is bad for me.
I probably would celebrate by buying a super-cute new outfit that I could never have pulled off before.

This is what I am going to do for my end goal.
I certainly don't have my "new body" yet. I'm down over 30 lbs but have at least 20-30 more to go.

I'm glad someone else said this because this is so what I would want to do.
