I also didn't answer this one the first time around because I was stuck and it was starting to look like I'd never get there! lol.

1. I will walk into any normal sized store and know that if I see anything I like, they'll have one that fits me.

2. I will have an ENTIRE WARDROBE full of things that I only wear at home in front of my fiance.

3. HOPEFULLY, I'll get to goal in time to feel comfortable asking him to carry me over the threashold on our wedding night.

4. Not wear a large or extra large wet suit when I got scuba diving. And not wear more than 15 lbs of weight.

5. Truly know that if I stand out in a room, it has nothing to do with my size.

I'll have to come up with more here...

LOL Kat, my daughter is so afraid I'm going to want to "share" her clothes that she is making an effort to slim up so she can stay ahead of me. (she is 14 though, and her worst night mare is me dressing like her.)

Wow - I love this one - my secret skinny dreams

1. To ride the Great American Scream Machine with my daughter (she begged me too a couple of weeks ago and I was afraid of getting squeezed to death by the lap bar...(It's a roller coaster at Six Flags Over GA)

2. Never have to hear my kids say that I am fat - my oldest has gotten better since she has gotten older - now she just says "the way you are now" BOY - that hurts (My two youngest are too young for that yet - so maybe they will never get to that point.)

3) Not be embarrased by being the only fat mom at school functions

4) Not have to have knee surgery

5) Have self confidence

6) Clean out my closet - no more fat clothes

7) Go to my husbands work functions and not feel embarrassed.

8) Not suddenly come down with the Flu before my husbands big Christmas party

9) Weigh less that my DH

10) Must to the Victoria Secret thing too

11) Have wild and crazy sex with my husband - not just lay there in one position.

12) Go on a cruise and enjoy wearing swimsuits and evening gowns

13) Go to the Mall to shop

14) Not be considered an endomorph

15) Not hide if I see someone I used to know before fathood(or pretend I didn't notice them)

16) Not have to wear the BIG gown at the OBGYN and hope it closes

17) Not look envious at skinny people - well - maybe I still will do that

18) Never fade into the background again!

19) Go places - snorkeling, deep sea fishing, to Ireland and Australia, Europe - anywhere and not be a hobbit anymore

20) To hear my husband say that I am beautiful and believe he really thinks so...

Most of all - To thank God for giving me the gift of life through the help of the band, and allowing me to live to enjoy it - really enjoy it.

I CAN"T WAIT!!! :clap2:

My GRANDDAUGHTER is 14 and lives with me. I can wear her clothes (she's not overweight - I'm just very close to goal). Can you imagine anything more traumatic than sharing your grandmother's clothes? The really low-rise jeans are all hers, though. I'm not into flaunting my underwear, or showing my butt cleavage.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
