I am 4 weeks from surgery and I am constantly thinking of things I want to do that I haven't been able to because of my weight. I'm sure this has been posted before, but for us newbies, lets keep track of the things we want to be able to do after we have lost our weight....

I want to...

Buy underwear & bras at Victorias Secret instead of Lane Bryant

I want to wear sexy Halloween costumes! Also I can't wait to Run a 5k.

I want to be able to buy my work scrubs and not pay the additional $3.00 per item for a larger size.

I also want to be able to fit my butt in an airline seat and not worry about if I even will fit.

And last but def not least, I can't wait to feel better!

I'm a guy so the victory secrets thing, well...

and did enough running in the Army. Swimming is my thing but I'm doing that now.

Now I can't wait to start doing jujitsu again

I didnt think about shopping atVictorias Secret instead of Lane Bryant I can't wait to do that !!!

I also want to ride a rollercoaster because the last time I tried they told me I was to big !

I would like to fit into a chair with sides without having to practically be pried out of it when I stand up

I want to sit in and booth and still be able to breathe at the same time

I want to be able to button my coat at work

My son is getting married next year in the fall and I can't wait to go shopping for my dress. I will be able to pick what I want to wear instead of taking a dress only because it is all that available in the plus size department.

I can't wait to shop anywhere but Lane Bryant. They are so expensive, and you only buy like two things and spend $100. I can't wait to be able to shop in regular sized clothes!!

I can't wait to feel confident in a swimming suit. Totally feeling the sexy panty thing too. Shopping in the regular section will be fabulous. I love the one about not having to pay the extra $ for plus size scrubs!!!! So many things we have been missing out on!

I can't wait to shop off the clearance rake and actually find things that will fit.

I can't wait to fly and not use the extender, get in a boat without thinking I will tip it over, and cross my legs!

I can't wait until I am able to wear the t-shirts they give away at Kansas City Royals baseball games.

I can't wait to not feel sticky and sweaty the moment there is any humidity in the air, even if the temp is 70 degrees.

I can't wait to have the whole world selection of clothes - to find my style instead of putting up with what is least offensive in the big girl's section of the store.

To start - I would like to be able to bend over and easily tie my own shoes, slide easily into booths and tables with attached benches, and not fear airplane seats and be able to go on rides I would like to wear short sleeves and shorts again - I am too embarrased to nowadays. even around my own family.

I want to have my family picture taken.

I want to cross my legs again.

I want to wear cute shoes.

I want to play sports again.

I want to run a 5k...then a half marathon and then a full marathon!

I want to have energy.

Paint my toenails without leaning to the side! LOL

I want all the above but i want to get off some of these darned meds!
