What's up people. I've been brainstorming about all of the things that I want to accomplish after I lose the weight. I believe that if you speak things into existence, they will happen. So im hoping you guys give your input so that I can steal some your goals and so that they can become a reality for you Lol.

Here is my list that I will accomplish within my first year post op, GOD willing.

I want to:

•shop at Armani Exchange

•cycle in a century

•go skydiving

•go to great adventures amusement park

•run in a race

•take my son to the park and play with him without being short of breath

I want to wear a dress without shorts underneath..

Amen to that!

I just want to feel good about myself again

Just Do It!!!

I want to enjoy day by day without all the drugs I have to take today.

I want to do the Susan g Komen without having to stop for air.

I want to shop in the regular size department without getting looks.

I want to get on a plane and fasten my seat belt without an extension.

I want to buy a sexy swim suit.

I want to live life!

Keep em coming!

I want to play with my grandson ALL DAY without being winded or hurting..

I want to go on a cruise, with an awesome bathing suit to an amazing place..

I WILL go white Water rafting through the Grand Canyon on my 50th..

I WILL go on a long distance motorcycle ride that doesn't hurt or embarrass me...

I WANT TO LIVE!

I want to:

Not overpack when I travel because I never know what will make me feel fatter and ruin my day because I hate being in my skin.

Kickboxing.... Yeah kinda always wanted to do this but I feel ridiculous.

Dance for more than a minute and laugh it off because even though everyone says I dance great, I just don't think a fat girl like me should move like that. And I think people will make fun of me from a distance.

Work all day and run around ( I am a chef) and just be tired, and not in so much pain I can't see straight.

To look at myself in a mirror and not to be disappointed that my mental picture of myself is not what I am seeing.

To actually look at the whole me in a mirror and not just pieces at a time.

To wear a bra that fits well, and not have armpit fat. And then try to shimmy it back into the bra ( some of the girls here might know what I am talking about. Raise your arm to do something and plop... Right back out.)

No more CHUB RUB !!

I want to be able to wear a bathing suit without worrying about what people think about me...

I want to wear shorts for the first time since I can remember...

I want to go to a water park and have FUN!

I want to go to an amusement park and not worry about wether I will fit in the seats...

so glad to see your profile pic to know you are a man hahahahahahaha

I haven't thought about this at all really, except that I have always wanted to run but have been too heavy. So let's see...

Run

Savor feeling good physically for many days in a row

Not being the fat girl or fat lady all of the time who is always feeling self conscious and awkward

Stop buying "temporary" clothes that are super cheap because my size changes

Not sure what else. I'll keep thinking.

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. I am most looking forward to:

Becoming a biological mom

Being able to shop at a regular store

Being able to salsa dance for hours like I used to

Going up and down the stairs without stopping at each step because my knees hurt.

Being able to make love to my husband in any position without having to stop because my legs hurt.

Being able to get on the floor to play with my daughter.

Just being comfortable in my own skin.
