or slide in a booth when the waitress seats us (instead of asking to be seated at a table) and NOT have my stomach squashed

I want to zip line. I've wanted to do it for years but was too fat.

This made me giggle when I seen this post. I went zip lining back in October in Mexico. I got stuck in the middle of the zip line I had no arm or stomach muscles to pull myself back I was crying and screaming "I'm gonna die." lol I laughed about ur now, but it was really scary when your heavy and have no control. Lucky the people working there helped me. My boyfriend felt horrible because they had to grab him before they could get to me. He said it was a horrible feeling sitting there watching me cry and there was nothing he could do for me. Needless to say I probably will never do zip lining again. Apparently the zip lining place we went to was featured on Fear Factor and I can tell you I see why. We were going like 60 mph on the one I got stuck on all because I put the brakes on too early because of fear. It's a funny story but I can actually say I did it. :)

To throw a baseball or football with my son and play all day.

To see my daughters and son graduate from school.

The seat thing I really get and numerous times have had to stand because they were to narrow.

when I was thinner my son and I would go to theme parks and they'd harness us and lift us way up to drop us and it feels like you're flying. Those are some of my best memories and I'd love to be able to do that again.

I can't wait until I can walk in a place (any place!) that has public seating (doctor's office, restaurant, movie theater, concert arena ... you get the idea) and not have the thought run through my head "I hope they have a seat that I can fit into and not look ridiculous".

Tibbie, this is such a good one. I love to fish! Now that I know that you can buy PINK waders, I guess I'll be getting some (when I get to goal). And my hubby has wanted to take me to Colorado ever since we have been married. I just might agree to go when I don't think I will smother to death trying to climb up the side of a mountain.

OMG - you would LOVE where we go!!!!!!! So glad there is another fishing person on here! :P We LOVE to trout fish - it's what I grew up doing. But living in Texas - there are no trout <_< So thus the Colorado trips. You can get pink waders AND a pink fishing vest! AMAZING! So fashion forward! LOL I also have a pink fly rod - yeah - I just HAVE to take it to the extreme!

I want to ride a roller coaster without having to use the fat seats!

This is my plan by next summer. My son wants to go to the amusement park this summer. It would be nice not to disappoint a 6 yr old.

Oooh, a friend of mine is building me a fishing rod in my favorite color (green). I'll have to buy some matching waders. Then, he'll have to teach me to fish! :)

Neon green and Pink??? So you don't want to actually CATCH fish, but scare them away instead?? hahahahaha :lol: my husband won't let me stand near him if I'm not wearing nature colors while he's fishing. ;)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
