Silly Diet Goal But Alot of us Do it

My husband made a comment last night, calling me a skinny girl.

I laughed. Because my intepretation of skinny, is what I was in highschool and college. (Which was 20 years ago) and I am 25 pounds from highschool weight. I can not imagine being that skinny, in fact back then, I think I was underweight. (Who knew back then that I was already at my ideal of the height and weight charts)

I ask you this, how many of you out there are going after the goal of being what you weighed in highschool and college? Is this realistic?????

Not me... I was extremely thin in high school (always thinking I was fat, though..of course).

Ohmigosh...definitely not. LOL. I hovered around 230 pounds in high school and college and I'm nowhere near that, now. I didn't slim down until I reached my mid 20's and when I finally did, I met my husband (who loves to eat) and gained 30 pounds. My goal is to get back to the 160 I reached 5 years ago. I have about 30 pounds to go. As far as I'm concerned, my best days are still ahead.

Well, I used to... but now I'm looking more at just 10 years ago. Then, I was a size 10, and unhappy about it. But, now, at size 14, I'd be delighted!

Well, currently I am the weight I was in College and my latter high school years.

Well I know for sure that as much as I would LOVE to say that I weighed in at 115 again, that ship has sailed, never to return.

I can remember one time when I was THIRTEEN! looking at myself thinking "hey I look pretty good". I was a chunky kid, so 125 was nice. I am looking to get around 130-135. I have more muscle now, so I will be heavier, but I do want the same clothes to fit. I squeezed into a pair of 31/34's a couple of weeks ago. In hs I was a 28/30.

I agree with the others....it would be nice, but not realistic at all. How much do you think you have changed emotionally or pyschologically since those days? Well we've changed physically too ;-)


(I was never that worried about my weight back then, though I wasn't that thin either- I don't even remember what I weighed back then- oh, they were the days!)

Good question.


I don't think I could get back to where I was. In HS I was a whopping 100lbs. lol. Yup. 5'1" and 100lbs. Man I miss that. I thought I was getting fat when I weighed 105 by senior year. How SICK is THAT?


My weight goal is 115lbs, but I'll be happy with a size 6 at any weight. Man oh man I miss being a size 5, fitting into size 4's, and all that. lol.


I think I would be anexoric to get to that point again. I always assume, when I lose weight, I would have been doing weights and gaining muscle, so I'll never weight that little again.


I think I"m pretty realistic with my goals.

*Gasp!* I weighed 107 lbs. in college. But I did aerobics obsessively back then, and now I realize I was probably LOSING muscle. Now I'm really into weight training. I'd be thrilled just to get to my goal of 115 or even 117. I won't sacrifice muscle for weight loss, though. I just have that last impossible 10 lbs. to lose.
