I am only at the beginning and have a lone way to go but I wonder what you are looking forward to most

My list is

To shop in a normal store (not to have to go in the back behind the ties or the “specialty” store- yuck)

To cross my legs comfortably

To sit in the middle seat on the subway without getting the horrified look from the others

wear a belt

ride every ride at an amusement park

cross my legs

shop in a normal store

im sure i could go on and on lol but those are the main ones

Go to an amusement park with my boyfriend and not feel self-conscious about me weighing too much for a ride or not fitting.

here is one I have now experienced....feeling my hip bones!

I don't know about ya'll but I've always had short fat hands and I have never been able to see my knuckles when I make a fist until now so yay me lol. Now my list

Wear cute clothes, wear skinny jeans, cross my legs like a lady foe the first time ever in life lol, wear stilettos without feeling like I'm going to break my ankle. Not having to shop in the plus size stores bye bye Lane Bryant. Not worrying about how far away a place is if I have to walk there for example a football stadium or basketball arena. I'm going to stop there I could go forever.

Soon enough all of this will be a thing of the past.

Run around for an hour on the beach with my daughter.

Perform in a burlesque show.

I didn't have a long list.

One of the things on your lists that would definitely not be on mine is the rides at the amusement park - I hate them,. Can't stand heights and when they are combined with speed and sudden drops as well no way! Yes I'm chicken.

As I am already on the other side here are some of the things I love about being slim.

Being able to go into a shop and have stacks of choice because just about everything will fit and should look pretty good.

Being photographed instead of just hiding behind the camera. We went for a family makeover/photoshhot and it was good to feel realxed and to look great.

Nobody ever believes my age. I have always looked younger than I am but when my weight went up so much I think I started looking a lot closer to my actual age. Now its gone people are usually way out when they guess.

Modelling - I have done this twice and at only 5' it is something I never ever thought I would do. Ok it was only at 2 local fashion shows but it was still a huge buzz.

Being able to pick up bargains on sale and at the op shops.

The Burlesque thing sounds like fun. Enjoyed watching it on Rafters the other night but I don't think there are any classes out here in the sticks.

I would love to do one of those raunchy photoshoots but I still don't think I'm brave enough plus what would i do with the photos afterwards? Plus I would probably have to remortgage the house just to afford it as those places really know how to overcharge.

1) Tuck my pant legs into my Ugg boots.

2) Wear knee high leather boots and not have a problem zipping them past my calves.

3) Shave my inner thighs and not get razor burn from them rubbing.

4) Get my belly button pierced.

5) Cross my legs like a lady should, not the way a guy does.

I've got many other reasons but these are the first ones that came to mind. Fun!!
