I agree with the not having my feet and knees hurt...

Ahhh, I forgot about the bending over and loosing airflow, now that one is important!! :P

I'm excited to walk in any store and buying clothes!

Taking off seat belt extension. Shopping any where I want. Have a lap for dads dogs to sit on instead of my chest. Being able to sit on ground and not have to worry if I am gonna be able to get up. Being able to sit in a booth in any restaurant. Not having to analyze a piece of furniture at someone else's house to make sure it will hold me.​ Knowing I can fit on any amusement ride. Going skydiving when I get to my goal.

There's mannnnny things I'm looking forward to, these are just a few of them ;)

2. Having another baby.

3. Not staying home & declining invitations because I don't know the seating situation ( will I fit?)

4. Riding a bicycle.

5. Wearing clothes that are stylish.

6. Getting a better job.

Last but not least, being a better, more active parent.

Fitting into a booth and not rub the table.

Riding amusement park rides with my daughter.

Fitting into normal size clothes from where ever I want to buy and not just certain stores.

To be intimate with my husband and not feel like a big hog.

To have MY body back again.

Being cold - I swear I sweat all the time!

Not huffing and puffing going up stairs.

Seeing my eyes again as my cheeks get smaller.

The energy which has already kicked in.

Not walking slumped over because my back hurts.

Getting back into all my cute shoes and size 10 clothes!

And...shopping shopping shopping!

  1. being able to keep up with my 4 year old.
  2. not being tired all of the time
  3. the knees, the feet, the back
  4. putting to use the bins of size 22, size 20, size 18 and size 16, then giving them away - forever

being able to stand at stove, sink, or whatever for as long as needed without having to go sit because back, hip, knee or whatever else hurts. I had to tonight that is what made me think of it. I know it is mostly weight related as I have never injured my back etc. The knee maybe sports related but I know getting weight off will help.

Finally being able to complete a century (100 mile bike trip).

1. Living with a healthy heart

2. Keeping up to my kids

3. Bike riding

4. Having a healthy uncomplicated pregnancy

5. Normal stores :)
