OK, tell us about your non - scale goals. I have several, but a funny one of mine is: I have a pair of pants I have had since I think I was a Jr. in high School. I was wearing 38s at the time, so I bought a size 36 and was going to try to loose down to them. Needless to say I never did and was wearing 54s at the time of my banding. I don't know why I still have them, but I found them when I brought down smaller cloths from the attic a couple of weekends ago. They are so dated ( mid 1980s). They are acid washed denim with pleats and tapered to the point that its hard to get my feet through the bottom leg holes. As out of style as they are, when ( not if) I get down to a 36, I am going to wear them so proudly even as outdated as they are!.

~Not having to use a giant-sized towel.

~Another vote for fitting in a regular seat or desk.

I can hardly wait to fit in a regular towel....

I want to fit in a size 10....maybe a 12.....

Wear dresses again and feel sexy.....

Have more energy.....

I want to do normal activities....and not feel like they won't have "big" enough equipment/stuff for me too use....

Have so many dreams/desires....can't wait til they happen!!

This is a dress that I've been drooling over in catalogs for forever. The largest size it comes in is a 18. It's on sale, I'm thinking maybe I should buy it and hang it up in front of the fridge. Isn't it awesome?

This is one of my goals too. Not the girl, the outfit.

I want to wear my engagement ring. I'm SO not a jewelry girl and I never thought I'd be all into the bling. But my husband was so sweet and careful in his choice for me. It breaks my heart not to wear it with my wedding band.

Secondly, I want to buy a trampoline and jump on it! The one I want has a weight limit of 175.

Ok. I have more...

-Cut my hair! I keep my long red hair to have one thing decent looking on my body. But I want a cute funky short do when I'm smaller.

-Wear shorts - I stopped wearing them when I was about 10 years old

-Bedroom confidence - yall know what I'm talking about

-Boardroom confidence - ditto

-Go dancing! We used to dance all the time in college...raves, clubs, whatever. We'd come home at dawn. I miss moving so freely and easily without fear of what body part continued to reverberate.

I could go on and on!

I think my husband would vote for your outfit FunnyDuddies! (and the girl)

Nice goal... I've only been starting to dream about shopping!

I have thought alot about goals! My 9 yr old tells me i am getting "skinnier" because she can wrap her arms around my waist and touch past both wrists...lol.

But the goals:

-to be able to use a regular towel......oh and not to have to powder my thighs!!!

-to get a tatoo

-to get my belly pierced.

-to go to Hawaii---and wear a bathing suit without a tent over me!

-to wear kick ass "come hither" shoes again!

-to wear a midriff.

-to not sit in my van and feel like my butt is the armrest!

-to wear boots---won't now---heels look like hooves to me.

-to go out with total confidence

-to do aerobics again-oddly i miss it

-to dye my hair bimbo blonde just once to make my sister smile.

-to wonder if the underwear in the laundry is mine or my daughters...lol.

-to wear cool makeup.

-to be able to tell hubby when he asks if i am wearing underwear---to say no and turn quickly and know he is checking it out!!!

-to lose the chubby cheeks (on face lol)

-to go back to a "b" cup and burn this "c"-cleavage from "fat" is highly overrated!!!

OMG the list goes on and on.

Oh I love the red dress....to go sleeveless would be a nsv for me!!! I am thinking I have wings!!! Soon??????

God Bless,

Melody
