Also, this just happened, to be able to bend over without feeling like my head is going to explode from the pressure!

I can't wait to go zip-lining and have "adult activities" while holding my stomach in order for it not to make that horrible clapping sound. To NOT ever hear "you have such a pretty face" ever again. Not make fun of my own weight! Wear a cute bathing suit and not feel I have to cover myself as soon as I get out of the pool. Become my son's role model about healthy eating and lifestyle.

I can't wait to wear shorts in the summer instead of jeans. I

Caint wait to not Be ask to be a Wedding Planner instead of a Brides Maid especially when the wedding is soon!

Can't wait
To cross my legs and sit like a lady
To not walk into a room and immediately check if I'm the biggest
To shop in stores that actually carry my style of clothing
To go to dinner and not worry that everyone is watching to see how much I eat
To not hear skinny people tell me how they stay so skinny
To take a full size pic of myself and not stand behind my daughters to cover my body
To show my daughters what determination and strength will give you
To not be the funny girl with the pretty face
And the number one reason: To feel like myself again. Oh and to totally rock my 40's!!

I can't wait to not have to rush past a window or a reflective surface so I don't see myself and my thighs rubbing together.
I can't wait to wear a skirt and not worry about it riding up in the back.
I can't wait to not have to stop mid flight of stairs so I can give my knees a break.

I can't wait to not feel like my life is over at 25. all of my friends are either engaged, married, or having children... I know that not everyone lives the same life but I'm so sick of people saying "just wait, you're turn is coming" and know that it's not. I'm not saying that people who are overweight cannot find love. But I do believe that often times we settle for less than we deserve just because we are afraid of being alone and feeling unloved. Bah! Anyway my whole point is that I can't wait to not have to feel like my life is stagnate and never going to change!

I can't wait to buy women's fishing waders instead of men's stout sizes.
I can't wait to run into old boyfriends (yes, I am shallow).
I can't wait to start caring about my life again.

Cannot wait to stop fearing if I can fit on the roller coaster, finding cute clothes at a cheaper price, not getting winded so easily, not worrying about what people are always thinking about me, and going out in public with my in shape husband not worrying about people staring thinking "what is he doing with her?"

To not have my mother apologize because I didn't inherit her metabolism.
To not move tables with my stomach and have others try to figure out why it is moving.
To not worry if I embarrass my kids with my weight. I would rather embarrass them on purpose

not have to clean my house and can't catch my breath afterwards
not have to Shop in the plus size section.
not have to lift my belly to dry underneath it after a shower.
not have to wear a skirt with my bathing suit to hide the fat

... hear my wii fit groan on screen when I step on and then calculate my bmi and yell " thats obese"!!

•Shop on the plus side of the store.
•wear frumpy clothes because that's what it's my short fat body.
•shop out of town for clothes.
• cry in the dressing room.
That's it for now

Me too! Just got the wedding band out and back on. Now to the engagement ring and jacket!

Only a few really good friends from back in the skinny days were like whoah!! What happend who did this to you??? They couldn't believe I let myself go and a few blame my ex, one friend actually told him that he fattened me up so no one else would look at me/ like me and I could never leave him... Yikes
So another I can't wait is to reunite with old friends. And look just as good if not better than them )))

Love this thread makes me laughter and cry And I can't wait for all the same things and even my 5 1/2 year old daughter whispered to me yesterday while we were at the nail salon
"Mommy after surgery you won't have to sit on my chair too, just yours" my butt's so big it spills over to the chair next to me LOL
Then once at home she says out loud in front of my mom and aunt who are totally supportive of me
"Mommy after surgery you won't rip your pants either" ... My thighs rub together and wear out the middle
So it seems I'm not the only one totally excited abut the new me kids gotta love them, I just wonder what else she looks forward to

Not be described as the big girl. I hate when a person ask who i am and the person says the big girl who....

I cant wait to be able to tie my shoes without being winded. Or being able to sit at my desk without unbuckling the button on my jeans.

I can't wait to NOT use the passenger side arm rest while I'm in the driver's seat.

I cant wait not to have to shop in the plus size stores
Or
Not have to fear going places
Or
fear of socializing b/c of how i look
Or
Go clubbing cuz im always tired
Cuz im 23 and im always tierd or in pain... 23!!!

To not get stuck in small chairs.....Went to the salon today and they only have 1 size chair with armrests that just barely let my big butt in there. Wasn't paying attention when I got up and the chair came with me - Embarrassing! The ladies around me laughed and I laughed it off, but I was silently thanking my sleeve that I'll not go through that again next time I'm there.

Funny thing, I commute daily on buses, with narrow-ish center aisles. I dread walking up the aisle, because I have to either go straight up, and possible knock people with the hips/thighs, or try to go sidewinding up the aisle, in which case I might get them with the but/belly.
I also can't wait to not be the last person on the bus that someone is willing to sit next to, because I may take up some extra space. I usually sit on the inside and lean into the window, so rarely is there any overhang into the next space. This doesn't stop people from making the face and sitting elsewhere. I mean seriously, sometimes they choose to sit next to the regulars with BO, over me. When I see this, then I uncompact myself in the seat and just hang all over, so that they can't be comfy if they abandon the stinky seat (my way to be spiteful).

dar1983,
Its funny to read about the things that many of us go through, but the sad reality is that these difficulties really hurt us. It feels good to actually laugh at myself instead of feeling sorry for myself.

I can't wait to NOT have to... put off travel because I don't fit in airplane seats.
I can't wait to NOT have to... wait for other people to get out of the way on stairways and sidewalks, because I know both of us won't fit.
I can't wait to NOT have to... look around for a sturdy chair without arms.
I can't wait to NOT be the fattest person in the room where ever I go.

gelen's_change,
I don't even have a date yet, but the Doc told me that whenever I finish my Psych Eval, My EDG, and if I finish my last 2 group meetings that I am getting sleeved in November. My husband loves me at my current weight, but I think he says I look good just to make me feel good. I thank him, but I've been wearing this fat-suit for 4 years too long.... I hope you get yours in November too!
