I am sure we all have our personal reasons for wanting to lose weight and get the sleeve. And, I am sure there are certain things we all want to do once we reach goal that we have held back from doing because of our weight. I personally find those goals/dreams to be very motivating, and like to see some of the things that motivate others to lose weight, besides the obvious one of better health.

For me, I want to be able to go to the beach without feeling ashamed and embarrassed. I want to lose the huge cover-up that I always where when we go. Another thing I have wanted to do my whole adult life is to shop at Victoria's Secret. I have never been able to due to my size. But, once I reach goal, I want to buy tons of sexy bras, panties and nighties.

So, share with us, what do you want to do?

What is up with all these girls that want to shop at vicky secrets? I just don't get the appeal. I guess I am just too cheap!

It's hard to explain why I would would want to shop at Victoria's Secret to someone who doesn't share the same desire. I want to shop at any place, regardless of cost, that I can't shop at right now.....why, because my size has kept me from those places. Another thing is that it's not about status or cost b/c no one but my husband and I see what I got from VS. It's just one of those things.....:confused:

Well VS wasn't on my list, but I like that I can go there now and not feel like the sales people are wondering what the heck I'm doing there.

So I bought my two bras and now I can say I've done it and I probably won't ever go back. :confused:

This may sound shallow or vindictive or just plain bad but....my ex husband was cruel to me about my weight and when I have gotten to goal, I would love to just walk past him and let him eat his heart out. I want to dfrive by him in a jag too. He was nasty about my getting my engineering degree.

Ha, ha, Ruthi, when I first started reading your post, I thought you were going to say you wanted to walk past your ex wearing nothing but what you bought from Victoria's Secret.

And, I understand where you are coming from. My ex married my ex best friend. I am evil in that every time I see her now, she has put on a few more pounds and it makes me feel somewhat vindicated.

Ok, walking by him wearing vicky secrets and having him eat his heart out would be good too or I would be sitting in the Jag.

or you could get a convertible Jag and sit up on the back while someone else was driving it - and the license plate could read "RUTHI":lol0:

Funny - that's what I was thinking when I started reading Ruthi's post also. I started giggling before I realized Ruthi wasn't writing what I was thinking. :thumbup: However, I bet it would be fun Ruthi to walk (or ride in the jag) by your ex wearing a hot little number from VS. Eat your heart out is right.

RUTHI---

I can be your driver:)

Would love to do that---vegance is sweeeeeeeeeeeeet if it doesnt hurt someone.

You could buy something really sexy from VS and Bearded could take some awesome boudoir photos and you could send one to him -- maybe we could photoshop a jag into one too -- then he could have a constant reminder of what he lost and what an ass he was/IS! Just a thought!

I also want my ex to see me and know he will never get to touch it. That a........ never mind. He was so abusive to me.

I want to make love to my husband without my tummy flapping or getting in the way, ugh.

I want to run miles, not feet.

I want to do the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk.

I want my golf swing to improve. Maybe if I could see the ball over my large breasts It would help. It would also be nice if all the people at the driving range didn't stare at the fat lady whacking balls and sweating.

I want to shop in the real section not go looking for the plus size section that is the size of a postage stamp and never has anything cute.

Bearded, you are nominated. I will let you know when I am ready!!! Ok when I get to goal And I want it to hurt him.

I guess I have already accomplished my only goal. I wanted to stop shopping in the plus size department. When I first had WLS,

I couldn't even come up with a goal weight. All I knew was I wanted to shop in the regular sizes. It does feel good.

Outside of that, I want to be happy. Like I said, there is a thread at LBT that says "why doesn't skinny fix it all?" It doesn't .

Being skinny, not that I am skinny, does not necessarily mean happiness.

I am starting counseling tomorrow to figure out what it's going to take for me to be happy.

*hugs* going your way, Daisy.

My question has always been, if they say the majority of Americans are overweight, why are the plus size departments so small and filled with really unattractive clothes?

And ALWAYS right next to the maternity department. I agree with Susan ... and for some reason, they think all fat people are short ... I'm 5'8-1/2" and oftentimes have a difficult time finding pants long enough. Hopefully before too long I won't have to worry about that any longer.

That is so true Susan. It's ridiculous how ugly the plus sized clothing is. There is one store that has a nice plus size section. It's fashion bug. I liked their clothes better than Lame Bryant.
