What Do You Want To Do When You Are Healthier?

Just curious what other's goals are after loosing weight? Your living bucket list...

Personally, I'm hoping to enjoy amusement parks again with my family, not feeling alone in a crowded room and (hopefully) going skydiving again.

Go hiking in Yellowstone. :)

Edited to add: And not have anxiety over seat belts on airplanes.

I want to ride bikes with my kids, bend down easily to tie my shoes, tuck in my shirt and put on a belt without feeling self conscious. Run, jump and enjoy life to the fullest!

I want to go to a water park and enjoy myself, that's just one of mine ;)

Zoey1176, Oh, the water park is a great idea! I may finally be able to wear a two piece which does not include a pair of shorts and a shirt to hide the fat, lol

At least not have people looking at us like urgg, why are they here

I simply want to live life to the fullest without restraints or insecurities!!!! I also will be going to every basketball, football, and baseball game I can possibly go to after I get sleeved. Right now those sports arena seats are just too uncomfortable!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'd like to fit in the freakin airplane seat. oh and a massage....i have this thing about people touching me because i'm so uncomfortable w/ myself. after i get near my goal weight...yeah..full spa..oh boy. maybe w/ a hot guy who speaks broken english :D

and the waterpark...and the amusement park....and the list just goes on and on and on and on!

I agree with the seats. I pay more for a movie theater with lifting arms. Went to an amusement park 50 lbs ago and the skinnly little wench locked down so hard on my legs i wanted to scream.....then the stupid ride got stuck. sat like that for 15 minutes and it seemed like hours. Now, if I get on the ride at all, i keep my legs up just so it wont happen again and I lok it down myself. However, I don't get on many rides now...terrified they'll tell me I cant fit. Not to mention the pain of walking around.

Broken English???????????? Now that's hilarious!!! I guess we all really do have thoughts in the back of our minds that are sure to be explored after the sleeve.

I'd love to go to the movies and actually fit in the chair. Or on a roller coaster, where I wouldn't have to worry about getting strapped in. I'd just love to be able to go shopping in a "normal" store for clothes!!

I couldn't agree more with SML1997!!! I'm a girl that LOVES going to sporting events, football, basketball and I want to buy season tickets..or at least go to a few games.. but never do cause I know I will be uncomfortable! I'm looking forward to just start living again...i feel like I've become almost anti-social and just dont get out and do as much anymore...I'm down right embarrassed of how I look. I used to be an athlete!!!...wouldn't know it by looking at me now, but that's who I still am inside and I can't wait for those two to match again! I also LOVE music and can't wait to go to a concert again or my fav - Jazz Festival...they have those tiny little folding seats...which I now avoid at all cost :/. Oh and the beach is a big one...considering I see it from my backyard but NEVER go anymore..I sit out and just dream of throwing on a pair of shorts and riding down, meeting friends and riding my bike back up the hill to home, :)....it will happen!!!

I'm looking forward to being ME again! :).

I agree cantwaittolose, I know I've become very antisocial and often I shy away from family events and social occasions. My husband always wants to go out to various places and I feel so uncomfortable in all my clothes and like you said not to mention the chairs. When I'm in class I dread having to sit in the small desk or the ones with the fold down desktops. It's so embarrassing. People can tell you your not that big or you carry your weight ok but how you feel about yourself is what really counts.

I would love to put on a 2 piece and lay on a beach, go to water parks, & go the pool... Be able to run with my 7yr old daughter and do all types of stuff with her without being out of breath and ready to quit

I want to run! I want to wear cute clothes, shop at "normal" clothing stores, wear a dress or skirt, wear shorts, go to the beach, go anywhere I want and not worry about whether or not I will fit in the seating, ride a bike, and wear high heels again. I miss wearing high heels! Ooh ooh and knee high boots! I want to wear knee high boots. I also want to plant a huge, beautiful flower garden and a little vegetable garden, and do all the work myself, because I can.
