What Is Everyone Looking Forward To?

I'm looking forward to losing enough weight to go on roller coasters again without the anxiety while waiting in line to see if " I fit". I hope this happens for my trip in November to Disney & Universal.

  • I look forward to so many things: I want to be able to go to any clothing store and not be afraid and wonder if they carry xxl, I want to be able to cross my legs in class, to run a mile, feel active

Wow...so many things -

  • Putting on socks and shoes (and tie the shoes) with out feeling I've just had a major battle
  • Crossing my legs
  • Gardening and being able to get up and down/bend over
  • Not looking at stairs and worrying about having to stop 1/2 way up to let the burning in my legs fade
  • Not being so out of breath all the time
  • Sitting in a chair at 90 degrees without falling backwards because my stomach is in the way
  • Sitting in a movie or on an airplane and not having the side arms of the chair dig in
  • No seat belt extender on airplanes
  • Shaving my legs with ease
  • Giving myself a pedicure

Those are just a few off the top of my head

Being active often

Having a waist and a lap

Walking into a shop and buying any fitted regular sized clothes I like

Losing the ‘invisible cloak’ of fatness

Wearing high heels

So many things that I want to do again....

I want to go horseriding with my daughter

I want to hop on the back of my sons motorbike and let him take me for a ride

I want to be able to go out on the Seadoo and watch my kids ski, rather than sit on the waters edge taking photos from afar

I want to take my kids to a theme park and enjoy the rides with them

I want to go on a holiday...anywhere

I want to wear sexy lingerie for my OH who has loved me unconditionally for 20yrs no matter how I look and feel

Most of all I want to be able to walk into my closet and have 'something' to wear, knowing I will look great

I want to be able to stop running and hiding when someone whips out a camera at an event. I have let so many uncaptured moments go by with my husband over the years because I hated the way I looked in photos. I used to love to take photos when I was younger. I want to feel that way again.

-Having more confidence and increased self-worth/esteem

-Knowing that almost everything in the store will complement my figure

-Feeling totally healthy

-Taking pictures from all angles and poses, not just the ones I look slimmer in (Hand on the hip, u know what I’m talking about lol)

-Fitting into my old jeans

-Superficial: Finding a rich man :tongue2:

sounds silly... but being able to shift myself around in the bed comfortable, now it seems like I wake everyone just trying to turn around... I am also looking forward to being able to lift myself up from the water rafts at Aquatic this summer with ease instead of struggling and thinking how I am going to get off the ground without embarrassing myself.

Im starting the process now....and what i most look forward to is being confident again. I also look forward to all the shopping!!!! ;)

Wow...it's like I have found my sisters! :)

I am looking forward to:

1. Having more energy

2. Wearing short skirts

3. Seeing my collarbones again

4. Receiving positive male attention

5. Not feeling invisible or frumpy

6. Being able to buy super cute clothes and not having to shop at the big girl stores

7. Wearing sexy lingerie again

8 Having my bras fit

9. Being more active with my six year old son.

Im looking forward to doing everything everyone said, and ....get into a relationship, with some one who is great. :Chevy_anim: I like big trucks, and so maybe ride in the middle with someone who has a big truck! My plans are so big, ha ha! Travel will be a priority though...Weeee :cheers2:

I have a bunch of vintage Liz Claiborne dresses, size 14, and I'd like to be able to wear them.

I remember riding in the passenger seat and hugging my legs when i was thin.......I am really looking forward to being able to do that again..... :)

I threw away my Flexees and Spanx and will never look at any again! YAY!

I look foraward

1. to have my hubby look at me and smile

2. to doing more fun things with my boys

3. to not feeling like everyone is looking at me and talking about my size

4. to not hurting all the time to walk and get up and down

Shopping...with out crossing my fingers and praying that they have my size.
