What Are You Looking Forward To?

[Remodeling.Me 41]

What are you most looking forward to after being sleeved?

I want to be able to walk a distance or climb a flight of stairs w/out being winded.

I want to FLY (w/out feeling like I'm encroaching on my neighbors)

I want to ride roller coasters & hike w/ my family.

I want to have the confidence that I’ll fit in that chair @ the concert or movie theater.

I want to shave my legs w/ a razor, LOL.

I want my bra to stop slipping off of my shoulders… my purse, too, for that matter.

I want energy to do what needs to be done.

I want energy to get me healthy & confident in myself again.

I want to love my husband confidently.

I want to stop hiding from people who haven't seen me @ this weight.

I don’t want to be the fat mom & wife anymore.

I know there's more, but that's enough for now.....

How about you?

_{I just want to live a longer and healthier life. People who don't carry extra weight around have no idea what it feels like and how it effects everything in your daily routine. So I am just looking forward to a new life. Great post by the way.}

I feel the same as you on these things. Here's my short list

I'm looking forward to ------ getting my driver' license renewed and NOT lying about my weight.

----- buying the 'cool' motorcycle jacket, not just 'this one since it fits me' for cooler riding days.

----- walking my daughters (12and 4) down the aisle when they get married (before sleeve, dr said that i might not have been around for that if I didn't get under control)

----- going to amusement parks with my 14 year old son and not just being his company in line, but ride the rides with him

----- joining my son to help him train for cross country.

----- finishing a 5k in less than 50 minutes without passing out or dying (my first ever attempt will be in 2.5 weeks)

------ being able to be an inspiration to people, and not feel like they are all just thinking 'wow, how does a person let themselves get that big?'

----- feeling like my wife isn't lying when she says that she really is still attracted to me.

----- burning all of my 2x 3x 4x 5x and 6x t shirts while dancing the happy dance around this fire pit, because I won't ever need them again.

Great response, Thyckness718! A good healthy future w/out all of the aches & pains, the awkwardness in various situations, etc. So looking forward to that!

Awesome list, theoldmusicbox! I totally relate (as I think most of us do!) to the driver's license issue. LOL. I'm looking forward to weighing LESS than what my license says for a while. Congratulations on your fantastic success to date! 100lbs, fabulous! Good luck w/ your 5k!

No more control top garments, slimming tanks, or horrible hot shapeware. Yay bra!

[Remodeling.Me 41]

Great list, Lizzie! I know what you mean, but I'm figuring until I get some skin removed, I'll be tucking everything into that uncomfortably hot shapeware!

[Losin4good 685]

One of the things i am looking forward to is putting on the shirt i got when i finished a race. We walked it, of course, but finishing a 7 1/2 mile walk was a huge achievement. Unfortunatly, i got the largest shirt they had! But it didnt fit. I want to wear that shirt proudly, as hevy as i am, i did the race AND finished when even some of my skinny friends couldnt.

[Sherry77 166]

I want to dance again! I think I'm a pretty good dancer, however I look rediculous dancing now.

I want to be able to talk to the opposite sex without turning bright red and looking at my shoes.

I want to get on stage and Karaoke again.

These are just a few. I could go on and on and on............
