Of things I want to be able to do on and after my weightloss journey.

  • To sky dive (weight limit is 200lbs for my height)
  • Be able to comfortably fit in an economy airline seat
  • Be able to ride roller coasts with a "no doubt" mind set that I will fit
  • Start training for a triatholon
  • Be back to my high school jean size of 11 and medium top
  • Learn to play violin (not really weightloss related... but whatev, I want to learn)
  • Be able to wear high heels longer than 3 hours with out my feet hurting from 270+lbs crushin my tooties
  • Not have to try on 20 dresses to find 1 that looks ok to wear
  • Be able to walk up the dry-dock stairs at work with out feeling like I'm dying (literally...my leg feel like they're going to fall off and my heart feels like it's going to explode)
  • Not having to crop pictures anymore
  • No more having to retake pictures 20 times to find one where I don't look huge

 

I know I'll come up with more....

    Love your list! I never did one. Now I am sorry I never did one about anything, not even wearing different size clothes.

    Good for you and good luck with everything.

    This is a good idea! I need to do this too and I'm totally with you on the high heels, airline seat, and stairs, I'm on the 4th floor and the steps are killers :) Actually an airline seat from Cincy to Texas (and back) is what pushed me over the threshold to get surgery in the first place. It was a horrible experience, most uncomfortable plane rides I ever had, I was pouring out over the seat, fortunately on the way back, I did not have to sit next to anyone and pour over into their seat :(.

    Great list - I love this idea. I've told my family I don't like roller coasters for years because I knew I wouldn't fit. Can't wait to go to Universal this summer and ride everything! And air line seats, don't get me started. I've paid for the upgrade to first class out of my own pocket on business travel just to keep from being embarrassed, so I feel you there! Best of luck to you
