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.

I had my OBGYN annual this last week and I am always mortified!....I can't wait to be thin and stop dreading that exam!

Oh and another one, I can't wait to be attractive again to men! I met the most handsome man today (with an Australian accent - knees wobbling)...and all I can think is that I hope I run across you again when I'm thin!!!! Ha-ha! Can't wait to start dating again, going out, dancing, wearing those sexy high heels, FEELING sexy again... list goes on and on!

Thats why I started my Fat Bucket List....I want to be able to check off items as they are accomplished. Little things not directly related to the scale. :) I just keep adding to it on my blog.

The high heels and dancing sounds great but I've always had a "heavy walk" even when I was a size 3 and I'm not sure how to change that. I would love to walk "lighter". And if I'm angry...oh, hell, watch out! :)

These are all great and I have laughed out loud a few times-- here are mine--

Go shopping with my girlfriends, not make up excuses when they ask because I don't want them running to grab the next size up :-/

Take the burlesque classes with a friend who is also a happily long time married friend-- she is fit I am not-- we both want spicier bedroom times with hubby! She keeps sending me info, I keep pushing it into junk mail...

*blush* be lifted against the wall for a bit of fun with hubby, it's been years!!

Be carried to bed ;)

Being in Australia, I miss lane Bryant, particularly the low rise cotton panties-- try finding quality plus size clothes here, pft!-- so here's to after 8 years-- buying Australian knickers cause I can!!

Going to the gym and NOT having everyone remember me! Currently I'm the fat American that's here everyday... Don't all skinny people look the same? I certainly don't remember them! Bahaha

Do the 1000 steps in rowville cause I like the burn!! I do, but currently I like to breathe more!!

PP that does yoga-- I do balance which is a cross yoga, Pilates, balance class set to music. I'm so strong and flexible-- but I can't wait to not modify around my belly! And for my warrior poses to look less sumo like!

Another PP-- I married my crush Australian accent and 12 years since we met and I still get shivers when he whispers into my neck! Can't wait til I feel that real sexy lady come out to play! Btw-- he married his American crush-- lucky dog!

Man I love an Aussie accent. After 25 years I've lost my island accent with brittish slang (due to brittish step father) and now sound like a weird-redneck. lol

Keep it up (so to speak) for all of us who whish we had the Aussie whispers :)

For those of us in the gay community, I just don't want to be considered a "bear" anymore. "Bears" are guys who are large and hairy.

Well i have to say you're a damn cute bear. What would you be considered after? :)

Aww, thanks! You're sweet :) I don't know what I'd be after I lose all the weight. I used to be a gym rat ("used to" being one of the major reasons I gained so much weight). But I'm so burnt out on bodybuilding.

Ballroom dancing again. Not dreading the family picture moments. Hiking. Relaxing in child's pose.

I was just thinking about posting a question like this this morning. Anyway - I'm excited about running/jogging again. Right now at my weight it's too much on my ankles.

I'd also like to try a yoga class thin - where my stomach doesn't constantly get in my way - and ofcourse, enjoying buying new clothes that I look good in!!!

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 <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

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

I love it! :D what is it about broken English? Lol

I want to be the girl the guys take a second look at. Fit in seats and walk 4 miles a day. Buy the cute clothes and never have to go to the fat section again. That us just a few.

not me i want to get out of the shower and let it all hang out, not try to cover it. lol

Or how about not trying to avoid the mirror after the shower so you don't have to see yourself naked!! :o

Looking forward to not wearing shorts under all my skirts and dresses, because my thighs rub so much, i get 2nd degree burns from the friction.

OMG - I thought I was the only one who did that!!! :wub: Although I gave up wearing skirts & dresses years ago. I'd love to wear them to work again!!! :D

To sit on wooden chair in restaurant without thinking will it hold me. To shop in regular size stores instead of plus size stores. To cuddle with husband without rearranging fat. To walk without getting out of breath and worrying if I can make it back home. To just stand from sitting without pulling self up with arms.
