Goals for post op! What I am looking forward to :)

I first want to give a shout out to JennJitters for inspiring me to write this blog. I saw a blog she put out where she listed all the things she wanted to do when she lost the weight and I wanted to do the same thing. I am one week post op today and I wanted a list of things that I could look back on in 9 months or a year and say "yes! I did that"

 

You don't have to read all the way through, It will probably be a fairly long list because there are allot of things I want to be able to do. This is mostly just for me but I am willing to share it because I know that you all probably feel the same way about most of these things... :)

  • Learn how to rock climb
  • Hike and summit any mountain I feel like (I love the Olympics)
  • Go horseback riding and not feel like I'm killing the horse
  • Have children and be able to play with them
  • Be in shape for the first time in my life
  • Walk into a room and not think everyone is staring at me because I'm big
  • Have my first ever Valentines Day date
  • Take the stairs not wishing there was an elevator
  • Be able to get cloths at any store without wondering if they have my size
  • Ware cloths in the single digits
  • Be confident in myself
  • Fit in the rides at the fair.. I love rides!
  • Ware a bikini and feel good about it
  • Learn how to snowboard
  • Be able to buy shews that are not "wide"
  • Be able to ware high heal shoes for more than 20 minutes without being in pain
  • Sky dive! Oh yes I really want to do this! lol
  • Have a man pick me up
  • Not be controlled by food
  • Eat to live not live to eat
  • Buy longerie and feel good wearing it
  • Be able to have pretty panties that are not hidden under a roll
  • Be able to share cloths with my sister (she has the coolest cloths!)
  • Take full body pictures and not hate them
  • Have only one size of cloths in my closet (not 5 different sizes depending on what diet I am on this week)
  • Be comfortable in a normal size sleeping bag
  • Go to the gym and not be self conscious
  • To be able to fit comfortably on an airplane
  • To be able to do a hand stand... why not?
  • To be able to do advanced yoga
  • Get a tattoo
  • Fit in a playground swing without hurting my hips
  • To feel sexy

Now lets see how long it takes to mark off a few of these :)
